The first impulse observable in all animals apart from feeding, is play. lt is as-natural for the young to play as it is to eat and indeed many of them, including the human would rather play than 08L

Play is not only natural but

tho animal whose desire for play is thwarted will find it difficult to make life any- thing more than drudgery. lt is a curious fact. and a sig- nificant one, that the play of young animals is instinctively pre-

psratory to the ibuelness of adult life. Watch the kitten at play; how it follows the rolling spool or" ball, sends it spinning and then lii its adult life its busi- ness will he to catch mice and its

else to chase; the colt does like- wise; other instances might be cited and generally it will be

found that the gambolllng and fro- licking of youth is an instinctive nnd healthful and necessary intro- duction to the strenuous adult life.

There is a. lesson in this instinc- tive preparation for after life. If teaches us that the child starts out in life equipped with natural instincts which need only train- ing and development along natural lines. Play in the Kindergarten and the primary schools can be. and ought to be directed accord- ing to the child instinct which will if not uynnaturally diverted infall- nibly lead the child towards the evocation in life for which he or she is instinctively and naturally adapted.

A Diplomatic Fairy Talc. (New York Times)

-—-It scarcely needed the den- ials from London to dispose of Mr. Garvin's Sunday story of the fate- ful meeting between Ambassador Harvey and King George. There was in it as it stood a touch too much of a portentoue mystery un- veiled. Tlhe two met at a State biill, and by merely a fow minutes’ cgnvereation set the whole world right. Lloyd George had got into a horrid mess through lack of "co ordination" twith his own Foreign Office. Hie gracious sovereign extricaited him. President Harding had been left in an awkward fix by tihe maladrcit course of the neg- otiations. ibut the maglsterlal hand of Colonel Harvey eased the tense sltumtion. Probably nione knows better than Mr. Garvin that things don't hdppen that way. The bril- liant Irish journalist was merely amusing himself ‘by taking charge of English public aiffairs. Doubt- lcss the conversation between the King anti the Ambassador muet have been on an extraordinary high level. but it is not at all likely that either of them departed from such exalted themes iis polo and pnizefig-hting to correct the errors t or relieve the embarrussments of their respective Governments.
