A: Van Doren has deâ€" voted about ten years to the writing of this life of the boy who walked the ‘streets of Philadelphia munchâ€" ing on a loaf of bread, who rose from printer‘s devil to the New World‘s first great publishér, who invented stoves for his compatriots‘ warmth and designed lightning rods for their safety. Later this same boy turned out to be the executive who gathered supplies for Bradâ€" dock‘s «march into the wilderness, the sage who signed himself Poor Richard, the â€"diplomat who raised a loan in France to gain his country‘s freedom, the patriot who shared in farming the Declaration of Indeâ€" pendence, the Constitution, and the Treaties with Britain and France.

K. CATTON Tells of Progress Made By Deerfield Recreation Project A survey of the work of the Play school at the Deerfield Grammar school has just been completed by the recreation officials of the Works Progress Administration. At the present time 47 youngsters are enâ€" rolled, 27 coming during the mornâ€" ing session, and 20 during the aftâ€" ernoon. The program is carried on as part of the Recreation Project and the school, and is sponsored by the Grammar school. . This program is supported firanâ€" cially by the Recreation Project, all salaries being paid from their funds. A director, assistant, and a partâ€" time janitor are used in connection with the work. : Arts and crafts exâ€" periences aré given the children by the crafts experts of the project, and the educational direction, testing, and health care are under the direcâ€" tion of the school officials. A wide range of experiences is offered the children of the Pltfi school. Weather : pornlttin& first part of the period of four péâ€" riods of the daily session is !'l'g over to outside play, supervised by director and Assistant, and nm: and construction activities mhol This is in ‘m‘mm&fi st eduâ€" cational practice, w holds that beginning children should be introâ€" duced slowly into organized school situations. From a health standâ€" point, this procedure is widely recâ€" ommended. After the first period, children come into thd; room for a period of rest and quiet, which is followed by a midâ€"morning lunch. Here, and at.several times during the day, the children are brought together for digeussions, planning, stories or songs. These periods serve to prepare the child for the kind of group work he will experiâ€" ence in the regular school situation. On some days children work at arts and crafts with the wide variety of materials available in the room. Clay, water «olors, crayons, pn¢ils, EBE PR E88 eutâ€"outs, and simple tools are availâ€" able for the child‘s use. On Other occasions, the children go into the school gym for music, or for rythms, which are worked out under the diâ€" rection of the school music superâ€" . Simple plays and games are ned by the children, and later in he school year these will be fn- sented to the rest of the school in the lower grade assembly. Also on hand for the children are a wide range of books, about 35 to 50: Preâ€" readers, picture books, and color books, suitable for their afe, are in the play school room. â€"Through these materials, an interest and readiness for reading is developed in the child. At each session, a story or part of a story is read to the children, and this is discussed by the children, and after~acted out. Music experiences are given through o:m musical games, rythms, piano tunes, and records. Each child is urged to join in the fun of singing. The session is usually closed with a group discussion or story, the acâ€" tivities of the day are talked over, ;m;eplam for the following day are made. t# ‘â€" The play !eh})oi has as its main purpose that of giving a child soâ€" } h‘firmneez.vnfli athg dren, I &n interest in the kind of things done in school, and acclimatâ€" the child to the school. A high e play school and kindergarten provide all of the above trainâ€" luz and in addition the the ideal kindergarteri, under the direction of a trained supervisor, would offer cerâ€" tain educational services not possiâ€" ble in a play school, such as psycholâ€" ogictal> adjustment, the learning of beginning reading techniques, and social adjustments of children who have personal peculiar problems. However, to try to approach, as far @s possible the complete program the school does offer the play school educational supervision and provides a testing program to diagnose needs and abilities of play school children. Also monthly classes and discussions are held for the directors of play schools to present new techniques and methods for their consideration.
