Dixie ‘ Steam Laundry' BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA THURSDAY APRIL 6, 1916 Where Teachers Romp And Play Like Children Tne games and play of children In school has come to be considered a very necessary part of the education of the child. The teacher's guidance of the children in their plays is scarcely less important than class room instruction. What to do with the children during the play periods has, therefore, come to be considered ag important part oj the knowledf* of the teacher. Play as well as study must be organized and directed much o{ the tim§, and the play spirit is invaluable throughout life. At summer schools the play life of the child has an Important place on the programs. In fact no part of the summer school work Is taken up with greater eagerness. That it is highly enjoyable is readily believed when one witnesses with what childish abandon the grown-ups join in the plays, the games, folk dances, page ants, etc., at a summer school. To engage again in childhood pleasures has been the tonic which many over worked teachers have needed to send them home after the session with a glow of health and a new interest in life. The illustration given herewith is t one of a number of ways the gia teachers play at being chil- again at the summer school of University of Georgia, other recreative ways the tired teacher is stimulated at the summer school both physically and mentally. Tine swimming pool is intensely Popular especially with the women who seize the opportunity to learn hoyv to swim, dive and do aquatic stunts. The gymnasium comes in fop a share of attention, the tennis court and twilight games vie with other in popularity.
