CHiLDRENS' PLAY GROUND
Here's a Chance TO Chip Into the Fund

Here's a Chance TO Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during the
summer Of 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwell's avenue, and Vinton street.
They were designed as places where chill
dren confined to the city during the hot
months. and especially children
living In the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Eacn
ground was under the charge OF Kinder
gsrtpers, whose influence was TO MAKE
the plays orderly and peacefui, ana
who had at their command all the re.
sources of the Kindergarten, TO interest
children and lead them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were Kept open Tor SIX
weeks, with an average attendance OF over
ninety children each week, at a total ex-
pense of S1l0 each.
This year it is proposed to establish h
nine fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to 13 years of age, and SIX
fo< Girls and little children. Young
men will act as leaders in the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice IN
the sports, teaching new games as well as
the best ways of playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys 10 place
