The quiet play gives place to books and then to the "circle" with its songs and stories and "acting." Coming near the end of the mornâ€" ing it is a charming demonstration of the quict, serene and happy ®pirits of the school beads, plasticine, etc. _ Tommy chooses his toy and goes and sits down to play, Back of this is the opportunity for developing concenâ€" tration and an ability to amuse himself, and to follow his own ideas. Outside active play is followed by a rest which is relaxing and quieting. Then Tommy goes to play alone. The inside playrooms are equipped with small tables and chairs and a good variety of educative toysâ€"blocks, peg boards, beads, _ plasticine, . etc. _ Tommy The outside play is a free choice affair; children do as they please except for danger restrictions and a few social rules. They enjoy their wagons, tricycles, swings, slides, teeterâ€"totter, jungle gymn and so on. And how active they areâ€"no one standing about, no one idles. Those who are old enough we see playing together. The little tots are happy just playâ€" ing side by side. Tommy is learnâ€" ing not only to manipulate his own body, and the equipment, but he is developing socially. . He knows about taking turns, about coâ€"operating, _ and _ the _ fundaâ€" mentals both of leading and folâ€" lowing. _ He doesn‘t realize, of course, how cleverly his "teachers" have arranged opportunities for all this to happen. cheerfully goes along.

Off now for a glass of orange juice, and play. In his play, ‘Tommy learns, among other things, to play alone, and to play with others. cheerfully own . towel hung on hi For each childâ€"they are all difâ€" ferent, so the teaching is inâ€" dividual at firstâ€"the, morning is divided. Tommy learns the beginâ€" nings of personal care, and since washing, etc., is a "must," he learns at the same time to accept the "musts" of life cheerfully, In the routine of washing, dressing and toilet, he is expected to conâ€" form. "It is time to wash, now Tommy," is met with pleasant, quick coâ€"operation, The alternative quick coâ€"operation, The alternative is to wait, and Tommy makes his own choice andâ€"almost alwaysâ€" With crowded classrooms the order of the day, it is delightful to visit our small school with plenty of space, equipment, and a staff member for every ten children. Merry Court Nursery School is situated on the Malton road in St. Philip‘s Parish Hall just over the river, and provides just what a group of small children need for a wellâ€"spent morningâ€"work and play with .plenty of equipment and comâ€" panions, and wise supervision, so the morning this in mind. The children come to play but Mrs. Mclver, the university trained supervisor, and her staff know that children are always learning, so the morning is planned with Run And Financied By Parents, Nursery Gives Fine Training or purchase equipment and take on additional staff to remove the snow from all sidewalks in the town. This, of course, would be costly and would add to our taxes. With that, I put on my coat concealing my medical certificate from the Mayor and proceeded in the direction of the police office. Gads, old age is really creeping up. Q.â€" What were the general provisions of the old byâ€"law ? A.:â€"Property owners, without exception, were required to have snow * removed from sidewalks in front of their premises within eight . hours after every fall of snow. This period of eight hours comâ€" menced at 8 o‘clock in the forenoon when the fall of snow ceased * at any time before 8 o‘clock in the forenoon on any day. If this * was not done they were subject to a summons and fine. Also the Works Department could be directed to remove the snow and charge the cost of removal to the property owner; this charge being in addition to any fine imposed by the court. Q.â€"What was wrong with this byâ€"law ? A.â€"It is not fair to those citizens who, because of age or some physical ~ infirmity, are likely to expose themselves to some serious injury if they were to attempt to clear snow. It appears to be becoming more difficult for those people to obtain someone to shovel snow for them. Q.â€"How was the byâ€"law amended? * A.â€"The amendment reads as follows: "& (A)â€"Any person who is required under the provisions of this Byâ€"law to clear and remove snow and ice, and presents to the Chief Constable a certificate signed by a qualified medical practitioner certifying that he or she is, by reason of age, infirmities or other handicaps, undble to comply with the provisions of this byâ€"law, the Chief Constable may recommend that the snow or ice shall be cleared and removed by the Corporation. In cases where snow or ice is cleared and removed under the provisions of this section, the person for whom the work is done shall pay to the Corporation the sum of $1.00 for each occurrence." Q.â€"Do you anticipate any difficulty in carrying out the by:â€"law as it is now amended? A.â€"Council realizes that a great deal of discretion will have to be used because this is something which could soon get'out of hand. They are, however, endeavouring to alleviate the situation for those who find it a hardship to comply with the present byâ€"law. Furthermore, if a property owner presents a medical certificate that he or she is unable to remove the snow and there are young people in the house, we would not expect them to call upon town forces to remove snow because this would be defeating the purpose of the amended byâ€"law. A good deal of common sense will have to be used. If the arrangement does not work out satisfactorily then, as I see it, there are only two alternative courses. Rescind the amendment It may have been a mere coincidence but,.in any case, just prior to the last heavy snowfall, council amended the snow cleaning byâ€"law and 1 thought this wduld be a good time to ask the Mayor something «bout it.
