gn , ixir-4, 1, 'IU1'Im 'i'- nineteen thirtq four ie: 4-- w-w , , Foreword i HROUGH the' ages, since the first child played with sticks and stones, children have imitated the grown-up world. At first this playing was done with little more than imagination tolaid the child. Gradually, however, children have acquired play- things, very crude at first-tiny bows and arrows, Wooden dolls, stone dishes-until now the little girl plays mother to dolls made of rubber, dolls with eyes that roll, wink, and go to sleep, and who have wardrobes which would be the envy of any real mother. She plays house with small pots and pans on an electric stove, a miniature electric iron, a carpet sweeper, small buggy and bed for dolly made as nearly as possible like the real ones mother uses for baby. Little boys, resplendent in uniforms, are interchangeably policemen, firemen, soldiers, sailors, or even busy office Workers hurrying to the city in miniature automobiles. They direct electric trains over lengths of track and through tunnels and cities laid out in the playroom. They are small masons and engineers using blocks to construct great build- ings and bridges. To these young mimics, the adult world is a fascinating, adventurous place, to be reached as soon as possible. May We, who have the privilege and responsibility of leading these little ones, help them to make this World as fine as they believe it is.
