The third and last day of the Nebraska
Plate Teachers association convention
l''KRn with the general session program
at tho Auditorium, where 3,r"0 ' tencheri
assembled. Henry 8. Curtis, Ph. U. was
the principal speaker and declared that
the aalratlon of American manhood and
tho maintenance of Industrial Intecrlty
depended upon the future status of plav.
Ho declared that w have no national
Hume, but kids games, because tho older
peoplo cannot play, and advocated In an
In I 'renting argument organised play as
tho only means of reaching tho needed
reformation.
At the close of tho pronrr.m, applauded
by J,0)0 teachers, Mrs. Orlctaa S. Chitten
den's kindergarten trainers appeared in
tho games and dances and folk lore stunts
of the various nations. Forty assistants
and training teachers of tho Omaha
Kthools executed the fantastlo and plons
inir performances, with Miss Helen Hltt
nt tho piano. "How Do You Do. My
I'urtner," ' Tho Bhoemaker," "Dance a
Utile. Partner." "Annie In the Cubbajre
I'alcli," "Weans Porridge," "The Circus,"
and many other games from Swedish,
Norwegian, Bohemian and Gorman tradl-.
tion were played to the Intense delight of
the schoolmasters and the pretty school
ma'ains. Dr. Curtis on Playing-.
Dr. Curltls in his lecture prior to the
folk lore games and dances upheld or
ganized play as the only efficient manner
of recreation for the young, saying:
"You can't turn a vacant lot In a play
ground by simply calling It a playground.
There must be organized supervision.
The purpose of tho playground Is as
definite as the purpose of the school,
and as Important."
Speaking- from a wide experience with
children who strive to play whose dcslro
Is thwarted by the city or their parents
on experience beginning in his home town
of Worcester, Mass., and extending
through periods of service in New York.
Washington and Chicago Dr. Curtis de
clared that the child who' was arrested
fir playing In the street and later be
came a criminal, was made so by the
delinquency of the city. .
. City. Is Responsible.
"Turn the 'Children loose to play without
a supervisor, arrest them for playing on
the streets, as many towns do, and then
do not be surprised If these same children
develop Into criminals. If they do it la
the delinquency of the city and the parent
thut Id the cause, and not because the
child la predisposed toward the lawlefcs.
"The city that does not promote play
grounds is breeding criminals. The chil
dren who do not play where the rules
of the game are enforced will begin to
' cheat and soon will be dishonest a dis
honesty that will extend into business.
If there Is an umpire-a supervisor the
big boy finds that cheating Is unprofit-
" able and soon he will respsct the rules
ot the.games and all the boys will have
a chance to play.v:
Mothers I.oalutr Iiiflncncc.
; "Ve have no national game today. Tho
. older people do not play as they do In
. England. The games are tho games of
children and wo as adults forget them.
Our games are transmitted by tho chil
dren because we have forgotten them."
Referring again to the benefits of or
ganized play, he said:
"The parents don't know what language
some of their children use when they ate
at play In the back alleys. The language
heard even or. a new supervised playt
ground if In a poor section of the city Is
unprintable. But If you will go back to
any of these playgrounds six months
after 'they are established you will find
that this language has entirely disap
peared." Purpose of the Playground.
The speaker declared there were three
main purposes which the playground ac
complishedthe Ideal of physical health,
the formation of better habits, and.
finally the development of group con
sciousness or loyalty, which Is "known
as good citizenship in a city and as
patriotism in a country."
As the best means of securing physical
health Dr. Curtis pointed to the open air
playground:
"If a child is to grow up healthy and
vigorous it must be kept in the open air.
There Is no specific for tuberculosis ex
cept the open air. Many of tho con
gresses on tuberculosis have expressed
the belief that the playground Is one of
tho moet effective means of preventing
the disease.
Prevents Oread TabervnloaL.
"Not only does the playground keep the
child In the open a!r, but It strengthens
his lungs and he Is enabled to throw off
tuberculosis grrms when they find lodg
ment there. The congresnes on tubercu
losis which began to meet in Germany
fifteen years ao were one of the chief
sources of the playground movement
there."
Country Folk Eat
TooMuch Canned
Food, Says Condra
"Wo have sung long enough tho praises
of the old, oaken bucket, the moss-covered
bucket; we should begin to learn
the dangers of the old oaken bucket, the
slobber-covered bucket," declared Dr.
George E. Condra. of the University of
Nebraska, In a talk on "Rural Knvlron
ment in Nebraska," at the science section
of the Teachers' Association convention
at tho Young Men s Christian association
Thursday, in which he graphically de
picted menace to health In the country.
Dr. Condra, as a member of the Rural
Life commission, has scoured Nebraska
from end to end ferreting out tho causes
of disease. Only Inst week he tramped
100 miles through the state on a tour of
investigation.
The lack of pure water, clean milk,
wholesome food and also too little play
and rest In proportion to work, he named
as the chief sources of unhealth In the
country.
Dr. Condra emphasized the danger In
drinking after a diseased person. In
drinking from wells which ure located
so low as to get seepage from chicken
yards and other foul environment, the
necesKlty of keeping windows open In
sleeping rooms and the need of wholo
Home food.
"Too1 much canned food Is being con
sumed In the country," said Dr. Condra.
" "aid mat farmers' wives need
to learn that they cannot ruise strong
sons and daughters on spices and vinegar.
"It Is not right that peoplo should
die from preventable disease when they
are needed for the worlds service,"
said lie.

MUs Clark Sara that It Is a Music
Strictly American.
Miss Francis E. Clark, president of h
school of muslo department of the Na
tional Federation of Musical clubs, spoke
on the "Value of Music In Individual,
Community and National Life." Charles
H. Miller sanB ' a bass solo, Torfador
sons from Carmen, accompanied by Miss
Pearl A. Ml nick.
'Nationally our music has been, said
Miss Clark, "until very recently a Joko.
Cultured Europe has ald that wo have
no Ideals, no native musics, only bor
rowed productions and producers.
"This was once true, but It is true no
longer. The making and enjoying of rag
time, minstrels and vaudeville music has
brought us low; tastes nave been per
verted, standards have been lowered, our
pianos have been littered by a deluge of
tra.ihy socalled 'popular' music of the
light opera and musical plays."
nue aepiormg the harm the trashy
music nas done Miss Clark approved the
work ragtime has accomplished in forc
ing composers to realize that we have a
way of our own, speech of our own and
a music peculiar to ourselves. She con
cluded: "Our music must be made more demo
cratic; our plans must be changed to
conform to the new ideas. The- muslo
must be for all, every .single boy and
girl, not In the sense of making artists
or performers or singers, but Just a great
nation of Intelligent listeners to music
the whole people cultured In the love of
good music, the whole country appre
ciating and supporting our own singers,
players and composers."

children do not need playgrounds and
organised supervision of plays as much as
the children In the larger cities and the

grounds under the direction of a trained
teacher would produce Immediate bene
fits In Omaha as well as in several other
