Show Teaching Turks to Play The American gift for play la to be Instilled In the children of Asia Minor by a young Turkish girl, Guzlne Ihsan, daughter of a former for-mer governor of Smyrna. Armed with a master's degree from the department of hygiene and physical instruction of Welles-ley Welles-ley college, she has returned to Angora to train teachers of physical phys-ical Instruction who will spread American methods throughout An- j atolla. "Of couise Turkish children have always played," Miss Ihsan says, "but they have played as individualists, in-dividualists, a lonely sort of play. What I want to spread In Turkey is the gift for teamwork for which America is famous." She also hopes to organize gymnastics gym-nastics for adults, especially for the too sedentary officials of the Turkish capital. |
