In 1'JlO, the latest year for which figures arc available, the average number of days of actual school in rural schools throughout the United States was and the average in urban public schools was only IS.". The rural school pupil put in not more than IZ'J hours and the town pupil not more than 1,022 hours. If we allow 12 hours out of every day in the year for sleep, meals, etc., the rural school pupil still has 3,021 hours of spare time, and the urban pupil ::,:;3s. Do you realize what that means? It means that the urban pupil has more than nine hours a day, and the average rural pupil nearly 10 hours a day, averaging all the days of the year together, in which he is awake, and bound to be interested and engaged in some kind of occupation or amusement. What are your boy and your girl doing with this more than nine hours a day of leisure? Do they average an hour a day, the year round, in home study, or in useful occupation that will train them in homemaking and in the principles of living? Do they average an hour a day in the right kind of recreation? Ur is their time all wasted? The rit;ht kind of recreation is not time wasted, because every normal human being requires recreation, but the wrong kind is worse than waste of time, because it creates wrong ideals, and wrong habits, which undermine the foundations of character. Where do your children spend the. hours and hours a day for which they have no set occupation? What are they doing with those precious hours?

Are they where you can keep an eye on what they are doing, and make sure that their recreation is at least haimless? Or are they out of your sight, among companions of whom you know nothing, and, for all you know, learning to enjoy wrong amusements, and to act according to unworthy or perverted ideals? This question is not confined to parents of school children. It equally affects parents of boys and girls who work, a writer in Mothers Magazine said. I know of a mother whoso craze for excitement causes her to keep her two adolescent boys in a boarding house in a big city, notwithstanding that she could as well accede to their desire for a home in some suburb, where they could entertain

their friends. Debarred from receiving their friends in the crowded boarding house, unable to return their hospitality, these two boys are unable to cultivate a circle of acquaintances in private homes; therefore, quite naturally, they have turned to the public dance hall, of which they are both frequenters. Don't imagine that this is an unua al instance. Kecent inquiry among the school children of Springtield, 111., by experts of the Russell Sage foundation, brought out the sad fact that in Gl per cent of the homes of high school boys and in 48 per cent of the high school girls' homes, parties for Noting people are unknown. Eighty-six per cent of the boys and 8 4 per cent of the girls have the moving picture show habit. Forty per cent of the boys and 4S per cent of the girls attend dances, many of which are held in hotels. The old fashioned schoolyard games familiar to children for ages, are almost unknown to these Springfield youngsters. They arc precocious and unnatural, because their recreation has been neglected, and they have gravitated in the line of least resistance, which is usually the wrong line for children to take, anywhere. The experts deeommended a regular department ol physical training and play, school social centers, plavgrounds to be kept open after school and during vacations, paid supervisors of play and recreation, and parent-teacher cooperation. If yours is a rural community, children have many natural activities that are denied to city boys and girls. There are also definite opportunities for interesting them in the wonders of nature and in those manifold industries that pertain to the soil. In both rural and urban communities there is no lack of opportunity for children to get awav from adult supervision, and acquire "habits that may be worthless, even if thev arc not positively bad. An important duty of every home is to 'provide the rUht kind of recreation for every member of the family, lhe

Generally, he takes good care u p.ovidc himself with recreation. Tne mother busv with household duties, and shut into her own home a large part of the time, needs recreation, and relief from her daily routine even more than such relief is needed by the average father.

FIRST METHODIST CHOIR GIVES PROGRAM SUNDAY AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The concert at the First Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon given by the choir of the First M. K. church, was one of the most enjoyable of the Sunday entertainments given there this winter. This was the first public appearance of E. D. Uoyd, organist and director of the choir, and ho showed experience and ability in tho results produced by a comparatively new organization. Mr. Lloyd has his choir of 4 0 voices under very good control and his individual method of direction proved him to be a thorough musician. Tho chorus was well-balanced and sung with understanding, bringing ou the director's style and Interpretation in a remarkable manner. This was especially true in the beautiful number, "O Gladsome Dight," by Sullivan, where the ensemble was unusually noticeable. Mr. Lloyd's preference for the old masters was evident throughout tho program, and the absence of glitter in all his work was truly refreshing. The blending of voices in the male quartet, composed of Messrs. Logsdon, halfmaster, Llovd and Coa'ts, in "Hark, Hark My Soul," by Decthoven, was admirable and here as in the chorus the director's interpretation was evident. ' Trust in the Lord." by Handel, familiar to all as the "Largo" was sung, unaccompanied, by the womcn'svoices in a ttmendable manner. As an organist Mr. Lloyd's ability again showed itself in his two numbers of widely different character, the Heethoven overture, "Fgrnont," and the "Carcarolle" from "Tales of Hoffman," by Offenbach.

BASES SERMON ON LIFE OF A "TWICE-BORN" MAN

I)r

(iardiner at St. Paul's

Well-Known Book Harold Ucgbii.

Preaches

"From Character discussed last night

Fallen Criminal to Faithful ," was the striking subject by Dr. James L. Gardiner at the St. Paul's Memorial

Methodist Kpiscopal church. The ser

mon was the third in a series of four evening sermons on Harold Degbie's noted book, "Twice-Horn Men." Dr. Gardiner chose as his text, St. Paul's well known words addressed to the church at Homo, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God until salvation unto every one that believeth." "What bold, brave and daring words: are these." declared the speaker. "How they must have thrilled the minds and hearts of those to whom they were first written. Even today after the lapse of nearly 19 centuries they move us from the very center to the circumference of our being. It ishoweer impossible for us to appreciate them fully unless we know something of the trying and stirring days of the first century. "In the days of St. Paul the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ was with the mass of people a by-word and a hissing. They looked upon Christ as a common felon who had suffered the penalty of his crime and blasphemies. Vet Paul is not ashamed of Christ nor His gospel. "He is not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God. The great power of Paul's day was the power of Home but the apostle makes bold to speak of a greater power the power of God. It was a power that had transformed Paul. It had changed him from Saul of Tarsus, a persecutor of Christ, into Paul the great apostle of the Son of God. "Paul K not ashamed of the gospel because itVs not only the power of God. but it is the power of God unto salvation. It was the power that gavo to men vietorv over sin. It saved

them. Hence Paul was not ashamed of it. He gloried in the gospel hecause by it the worst man might be saved. There was in it hope for everybody. It saved 'every one that believed.' With Jesus Christ there were no hard cases. The gospel can break the hardest heart. It can subdue the most stubborn will. No other power on earth can do it." Dr. Gardiner' then told Begbie's story of the criminal who, out of a life of 3 4 years, had spent 17 years in prison, yet the gospel had marvellously saved him.

HAMMOND. Ind., March 22. The city council has voted to contribute $5u0 to charity in Hammond, provided none of it is spent for garlic. Hammond for years has been combating the smell of garlic in street cars, theaters and churches. The foreign population likes garile, and when it is abundant the city smells of it. Many foreigners are out of work now and are applicants for charity. The charity society is buying food for the needy, but declines to provide garlic. "What do you need most, the charity investigator asks of the foreigner?" "Garlic." pleads the foreigner. "Phew," says the investigator, "you can't have it. We'll give you coal, clothing and all that is necessary to eat, but no garlic."
