A Funny
Story
was put over on us a few days
ago when one of our contrac
tor friends told us that when
he registered just before the
last election, in answer to the
trade he was in, replied: "Ma
son and builder." When the
same question was put to an
old Irishman next in line, he
replied: "Knikhts of Colum
bus and hod carrier." Build
ers and hod carriers, Ma
sons and Knights of Columbus,
rich or poor, will learn that
the groceries and table luxur
ies obtainable here are lowest
in price, yet rank foremost in
quality.

A WORD
ABOUT PLAY.
The difference between work and
play is that work is activity for fu
ture reward and play is activity for
its own sake, writes Dr. Frank Crane
this week.
We lay bricks for the money we
obtain; we play tennis for the fun
we get out of it.
Professionalism is decried in the
realm of athletics, not because in-,
dividuals capitalize their skill, but i
because as soon as money is paid i
for playing games the money be-!
comes the reward instead of the joy
of playing.
Playing is no longer play; it has
become work.
An interesting book on "Games and
Recreational Methods for Clubs,
Camps and Scouts," by Charles F.
Smith, is a valuable contribution
to the subject of play because it
shows how to organize inherent de
sire for play in children and gives
practical information.
The best education and develop
ment has always come from play.
When we are at work at what inter
ests us our faculties grow best.
Food eaten with relish nourishes
more than the same food taken under
compulsion. The same principle
holds true for tasks and responsi
bilities. If taken with distaste they
never benefit as they do when taken
with joy.
A game entered into with delight
always is better for the health than
a "daily dozen" if approached with
distaste. Physical culture is most ef
fective when taken as play.
The best education and develop
ment also come as play.
A game of authors or a cross-word
puzzle contributes more lasting in
formation than a history of litera
ture read under compulsion or a cer
tain number of prescribed hours of
reading the dictionary.
Education in the past has largely
ignored the play element.
Children have been made to study
history and geography with the prom
ise of rewards in grades when they
have finished, not by the inducement
of the fun of learning them. If they
know how to play at history and
geography there would be no need for
rewards.
In childhood organized play does
three very important things. It
teaches leadership, co-operation, and
the need of obeying rules.
If you don't keep up the rules you
are out. You can't "make up the rules
as you go." There are certain regula
tions that have to be obeyed or there
is no game.
j In life there always rules that
! can't be ignored. If a person fails to
' get an appreciation of the importance
of rules in youth, the way of life will
be hard for him.
All in all, play holds an important
place in life.
As well as "Lord, teach us to pray"
there is need for the supplication,
I "Lord, teach us to play."
