Each of the above games can be played in various ways and made simple or more difficult, to suit the pupils' needs, and to keep pace with their advancement.

The natural instinct of the child is to play. While these card games utilize this instinct to accomplish the ends of play, they are so constructed as to further and re-enforce the other means of education, without lessening the entertainment.

For group work one pack should be allowed for each five or six

pupils, and for class work one for each eight pupils.

The three Columbia undergraduate
papers will this year be amalgamated into
one daily, each college of the university
retaining its own editorial staff.

Thru an anonymous gift of $250,000 an
important addition will be made to Teach-
ers college, which will afford one of the
best arranged and appointed schools for
physical education in the country. Dr.
Thomas D. Wood says: "In the school
we shall have classes in theoretical as well
as practical school hygiene. The students
at Teachers college, the pupils of the
Horace Mann school, and special students
in physical education will have the benefit
of the institution. It will be the only
place in the city where school hygiene and
physical training will be taught to students
who wish to become instructors."
The building will be four stories high, hav-
ing in the rear court a glass-covered swim-
ming pool, and a one-story bowling alley on
one side of the structure. In the basement
of the main building will be four handball
courts, lavatories, and the heating, lighting,
and ventilating plants.

On the main floor will be found recep-
tion rooms, offices, laboratories, lecture
and cloak rooms. On the second floor
there will be three large examination
rooms, experimental work rooms, and
rooms for instructors. The third floor
will contain shower baths, exercise rooms,
and laboratories. The fourth floor will be
specially devoted to a large well fitted
gymnasium, a room for photographing and
one for fencing.
