For they represent a test of motor ability, which, if it proves to be as effective as it is simple, ought to be of considerable value to pedagogy. The hands are those of a G-year-old child who from infancy has been trained along the lines of natural play 1 impulses by P. F. Chase, specialist in physical development of children. The finger mobility which they exhibit (views a remarkable co-ordination of brain and muscle. The finger exercises, easy as they appear, depend for success suc-cess so entirely upon the physical and mental condition of the one who tries them that they are lifted from the I plane of the commonplace t that of the scientific. j The exercises, which consist simply in folding down the. fingers in succession, succes-sion, either singly' or by twos, are a good test. Mr. Chase claims, of the physical and mental condition both of normal and of backward children. By these exercises may be tested the susceptibility sus-ceptibility of a normal child's brain to receive and retain impressions. They are also a test of fatigue in children who are overworked in school. And through them may be detected mental weakness in backward children. "Finger mobility is an index of the nerve cells," says Mr. Chase. "When the nerve cells have not fully recovered recov-ered from fatigue or sickness any movement of the finger muscles that requires delicate or accurate co-ordination will not be accomplished with the usual accuracy and gTace. I test my little girl every morning at the break fast table in the manner shown in the picture to find out whether she is able to go to school or not. When she had the measles she lost control of the fingers fin-gers for some days, anQ a few days after being vaccinated there was quite a brain disturbance indicated by lack of precision and grace in her finger mobility; mo-bility; and I kept her home lor nine days before he regained control of. her fingers. I think it is better to keep her out of school when she is sick either mentally or physically." In six or more of our large cities laboratories lab-oratories have been established by the school boards for testing dull and backward back-ward children. The laboratories .are supiplied with various instruments by which, under the direction of a skillful operator, the mental condition of "the children may be ascertained with accuracy. ac-curacy. Prominent among the instruments instru-ments are the motograph to test ' the . strength of the hand grip, and also the crgograph, which tests the endurance J of the finger muscles. The necessity I for these laboratories is plain from the report of the commissioner of education, educa-tion, which shows that there are ISO.COO backward children in the public schools of the United States, who are not able to keep up with the regular classes, and who are receiving individual or special instruction in classes by themselves; and it is supposablj that there are as-many as-many more cases of dull and backward children among the little ones who are not yet old enough to attend the public schools. Nnaturally it is the severe cases of backwardness which come to the attention at-tention of these public laboratories, which are, of course, totally inadequate to do the work of testing the total number num-ber of backward children. Yet the backward child should be tested daily in order to note his condition and nros- less. Mr. Chase believes that his system sys-tem solves the difficulty and provides ! both teacher and parent with a means j ! of determining every morning the j physical and mental condition of the children. He does not pretend that 'this test of brain control of the mus-J mus-J cles. and of brain development by the I muscles, is as accurate as the test by ! instruments, but it is accurate enough, i he claims, for pedagogical purposes. It j has, moreover, the merit of quickness, j By laboratory methods at least two hours is used for each subject. By Mr. i Chase's methods1 thirty-six pupils may be tested in a few minutes. I Mr. Chase has made practical appli-l appli-l cation of his test. Testing a class of thirty-six in the first grade of the public pub-lic schools, he was able in five min-uten min-uten to pick out successfully the normal nor-mal children and those who were extremely ex-tremely backward. Normal children cannot control their finger muscles the first attempt, but they learn it with little practice, and dull children learn it slowly and in a moderate degree, but backward children cannot learn it at all. In his gymnasium for the development develop-ment of little children he found that the little ones learn finger mobility by imitation, and that this test is better adapted to little children than the instruments in-struments of the laboratory. A child may be tested and its condition noted several years before it is old enough to go to school. . The . owner of the little hands was a backward child at 1 year of age, but by a persistent course of neuro-muscular culture for five vears ' she became unusually strong physically and mentally. Dr. Kupfersehmid, the Austrian pnyslologis-t, advocates development of hands and fingers, especially the left, by systematic exercise, based on physiological physi-ological principles, and he declares that skill of fingers and hands can only be obtained through a special system of gymnastics for both members." The development of the fingers, which the Chase test involves, has a practical ad- ' vantage for the child. It calls his at- tention to the generally neglected left hand, which, according to Professor Katscher of Berlin, ought, if the child j is naturally righthanded, to be devel-1 devel-1 opedto the highest degree of efficiency. efficien-cy. This may have a strong influence upon his career, since there are about -'40 occupations, including music and surgery, in which both hayds are called into play. Queen Victoria, it is interesting inter-esting to recall, brought up all her children chil-dren to be, like herself, ambidextrous. THE RIGHT WAY OF ENTERTAINING CHILDREN How often one hears a mother say: 1 "I have offered my children almost i anything if they would give up the idea of having a party." In some cases the J mother's objections may arise from her own laziness or indifference to the children's chil-dren's enjoyment, but oftener from her inability to make a party of this kind t successful. It is not a difficult matter to make children have a jolly good time at a i party if you go about it in the right j way. Many persons imagine all that j is necessary in this direction is to invite j a certain number of children who are j likely to be congenial, provide a dainty supper, and when someone to play for them is secured they think the success of the whole affair is assured. This hit or miss method is a very dangerous one, as you never can tell j hrw your small guests are going to act. I have seen children who have played together for years in the happiest kind of fashion behave like perfect sticks at a party, and. in fact, act as if they had never seen each other before in their lives. Children are not sufficiently unto themselves at these functions. They require someone to suggest and lead : and make things "go." Wrhen this is done, they are only too ready to follow fol-low and are the merry little creatures of their ow n games in the street or the play room. Large and smart children's parties are, of course, outside the question of practical details, as the important item of expense does not affect their arrangements. ar-rangements. It is simply a matter of ordering things and engaging the services serv-ices of an "entertainer," who sees that everything is bright and gay. A number num-ber of attractive women have gone into the entertaining of children as a business, busi-ness, and their services are very much sought after. If a juvenile ball is given and the up-to-date young ladies and gentlemen, who are nothing save a reflection of their elders, demand these elaborate functions now the ball room is decorated deco-rated as for an ordinary grown-up persons' per-sons' ball. There are music and flowers and a ball supper is served by a prominent promi-nent firm. The cotillion favors are costly and dainty., and everything is most conventional and unchild-like. The parties we are writing about are of the old-fashioned, variety, where children are not dressed up puppets, but healthy, pleasure-loving, normal developments. But the average affair, even of this description, is not given without effort, for it is an effort to convert con-vert a pretty drawing room . into a children's play room, and to crowd a number of little ones into a small dining din-ing room. It is hardly necessary to say that as much space as possible should be gained in a room by moving all movable things and putting out of danger dan-ger valuable china, as games when played are apt to become boisterous. If carpets are on thp floor they should be covered with crash. When a dozen or so children are to be asked, little notes written by some member of the family are sufficiently formal. For larger affairs regular "at home" cards should be used, with "Juvenile "Ju-venile Party" printed in one corner. A perplexing question to most hostesses host-esses is that they have so many different dif-ferent sets to entertain that it is not easy to give a. party for those of one age only. Most children have brothers and sisters who cannot be left out of the invitation. Consequently the guests often include big boys from school, girls in their teens and tiny mites from the nursery. The best way to dispose of this mot-I mot-I ley crew is to detail one person to I lead each group. The tiny tots, when possible, should have a room to themselves, them-selves, and if a kindgartener is procurable pro-curable her services are invaluable in playing1 the pretty Froebel games with the little ones. Dancing for the older boys and girls is the favorite amusement. amuse-ment. After general dancing, pretty german figures, such as the scarf and mirror dances, are always enjoyed. To be sure, they are not. new, still the very fact of their age insures success, as everybody is sure to know them, i Cotillion figures founded on fairy tales j and nursery rhymes can be made at- j tractive, and it is a good idea to make ; them appropriate to the season. In I the summer a Maypole dance is an ex- I cellent scheme. ,- - I An important point to remember is I to start the ball rolling- as soon as a ; few of the 'guests have arrived, with some simple game for instance, Jjjmt j the slipper, London bridge, or drop the handkerchief, and as the others come in they will join, and the holiday spirit is caught before they know it. The success of the party depends itpon just how these first few minutes are handled. han-dled. It is well, when planning the games, to have first a sit-down one and then a more active one, and always keep in mind that children like to be doing things. They don't want to sit still at a party and be told stories. Zoological nlind man's buff is an excellent stand-up stand-up game. Blind one of the company and set him in the center of the room witn a. wand or feather in his hand. All the other players must form a ring around. Imitating the noise of any animal ani-mal he chooses, the blindfolded person touches one of the members of the ring He in his turn must imitate the sound to the best of his ability, and if the blindfolded person can decide who he is, be blindfolded, and the other released, re-leased, and so the game proceeds. This is a new form of blind man's buff and it is most amusing. California Ladies' Magazine. THE SUNDAY MENU". Breakfast. Fruit. Hominy and Mill:. Clam Fritters. Sliced Tomatoes. RolLs. Coffee.
