Tm following Is an address do-i Greek.
Hverod boforo tho Mother's and
Teacher's Club by Mrs. II. Arm
strong, at tho North Bond High
School. Sho wnB cnlled on Impromp
tu to BUbatltutc for Judgo A. S.
Hammond, Sho said:
I buppobo tho good Lord know
what ho wob nbout when ho made
chlldron bo that thoy want to play.
Porhnps ho might havo mndo thorn
bo that their first Impulso would
bo a doslro to work but my ou
Borvntlon and cxponenco tolls mo
that Ho did not. All young things
want to piny, and thoy want to
play Bomothlng that means oxor-
cIbo. Tho human animal Is tho
most holpless of all created thliigB
nnd doesn't ovon know enough to
play until it hns been taught, but
If It docs not lenrn to play It will
novor learn to work, for piny Is
work boforo It linn grown up. .If
tho child la n good plnyor :io Is
llkoly, later on. to bo a good worK
cr. In play thoy not only develop
their bodies by nntural and health
ful oxorclso, ns Naturo Intenrtod
thoy should, but thoy learn to play
tho gamo of Hfo, In which "to tho
victor bolong tho spoils" to tho
winner tho prlzo. They loarn that
tho only wny to win In any gamo
Is to do a llttlo bettor than anyono
oIbo. That tho raco 1b not always
to tho swift nor tho bnttlo to tho

Thoy learn tho cruol but neccBsnry
lesson that thero Is no plnco In

tho other follow goes homo with n
black oyo.
Tho gamo of Hfo Ib plnyed much
like othor games, aim after all, tho
grontost ploaBuro Is to play tho
gamo woll. Tho chances nro not'
ovon, tho enrds nro not of equal
vnluo, nnd It Is impossible thnt nil
Bhould win, or that anyono should
win all tho time, but tho ono who
plnyB his hand for nil It Is worth
will bo satisfied with lilniaolf and
will win tho approbation of his
follnwB.

Thoro must bo competition, oppo

A child who haa not lonrnod, ns
n child, how to bear dofoat and
how to win to buccobs, Is liable
to bo ruined, lntor In life, by a sin
gle failure.
Hut chlldron ought not to bo loft

In order to iiulutuln good govern

Every playground Is n mlntaturo

i Ho mind of a llttlo child is n won

Food to bo beneficial must bo pal
