THE MORNING STAIl. WILIJINGTON, W. C StJNDAY, APRIL 18, 1920 FOUR HAKE PALESTINE SCHOOLS'PLAMHG -FOR OBSERVANCE OF 'SHAKESPEARE DAY' Children Themselves Will Take The Part Of Immortal Characters. ELECTRICAL LAND NEWEST PROPOSAL Possible To Secure Country's Light And Heat From Har nessed Waterfalls. ( , : '"ffireT lilt ' ''' ' i ' ' " ' ' i " '-S'tT-: V Washington. D. C April 17. School .throughout the United States are again planning to observe April Z3 " "Shakepeare Day," according to re ports receKect by the bureau of educa tion, department of the Interior, which has Just issued an afficial publication containing suggestions for appropriate school celebrations. v Acting of Shakespeare plays by the children themselves is advocated by the bureau' publication" as one or tne best ways to celebrate the day. My Ideal of a Shakespeare day," says H. Of. Wells, the novelist, who is quoted In the burejau bulletin, "is a day on which, In every school, Shakespearian plays are acted by the children them selves. The on persons, the only per son, who ought to speak for Shake speare on 'Shakespeare Kay is Shake speare himself. So let, Shakespeare h rp.ad and Dlaved for our 'Snake speare Day celebration In the schools. and let the rest ol .us Keep suenw while he speaks." Day Mnsi Be "Pleasurable.' Whatever plans are made for Shake speare celebrations in school ahey should be pleasurable, asserts Profes sor Caroline F. E. Spurgeon, of Bed ford college, London, now on a lecture tc ur in the United States. ' "Let the day be one of enjoyment, she says, : .?The reason why children h v,Qlr an unnleasant association witn Shakepeare is that the study of him Is made lifeless and dull. He is not ' to them the most laughter-loving, the most sympathetic of iiuman beings, but he is some one who wrote a large number of intolerable notes in order. to explain the obscure woraa ana strange phases and. faults of grammar and spelling in which he seems to have delighted, J believe that th institu tion of B.J day like this might sweep away some of these misconceptions If it were arranged so as to Be a living thing in which they would be acting and singing, the children , themselves , taking parU , Many School Subject Involved Celebration of the Shakespeare an niversary offers a ; particularly good opportunity, jPercival, Chubb points out. for coordinating work lone in a group of Interrelated - subjects. ' Literature, music, art, the handicrafts (such as ehbpwork and , sewing) and physical education, he says, are all involved in en adequate Shakespeare celebration. "A new emphasis" is needed in liter ary work upon the fact that litera ture is primarily something to "be beard," says Professor Chubb; "some thing declaimed or snug or dramati cally interpreted, and not merely a matter of print. School muslo Should become more deliberately the hand maid of literature, and should include very many more of the singable ly rics memorized and studied In the English classes than Is commonly the case. Physical education, which every where Includes the dance (both folk-' dances and interpretative dances, or dance-drama), should hav relation, through the words of old singing games and the delightful old .tunes, with literature and music; it should be utilized both for school celebrations . and for social groups outside the school in the home, the club, and the Sunday school. The art and the handi crafts of the manual training depart ments may well profit by the impetus which is gained by directing them toward immediately practical and en joyable uses'. The bureau bulletin - gives lists of books where teachers may find help,- ' ful suggestions for presenting plays and pageantat suitable to Shakespeare day. The further suggestion is made that "one way for school to remem ber Shakespeare is to nave school-gar den plots, indoor boxes or home gar den beds in which the flowers named fcy Shakespeare can be grown." fSTUDEBAKER CELEBRATES ' RECORD CONSTRUCTION New Y6rk.April 17.
