THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

What we may hope, trust, and think in
the matter of the popular observance o
the glorious Fourth of July tomorrow
wouldn't affect the observance in the least
great may be the newspaper influence
and it is accordingly pleasure to find
ourselves in harmony of disposition with
the kind of an observance that the ma.
jority OF folk will indulge in.
Patriotism Will be explosive tomorrow,
and we shall rejoice in the explosion, and
shall add our mite to it, even II we burn
our fingers and singe our eye lashes, and
wear the hide of our throat with yelling.
We don't propose to have anybody, not
authorized by law, dictate in the matter
of exhibiting patriotism by telling us that
we ought better ia spend the day more
quietly and indulge in celebration that
shall be dignified and educational even at
a sacrifice of exuberance

OF the fact that we are TO an extent vio-

expectations it has OF an editorial opinion.

Here's Chance 10 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
Hin. Atwell's avenue, and vinton street.
They were designed as places W here chill
oren confined TO the city during the hot
months. and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge Of kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
VINO had at their command all the re-
sources OF the kindergarten, to interest
cnlldren and lead them In the right way.
Inc Fairgrounds were kept open for six
weeks, with an average attendance OF over
ninety ch ldren each week, at a total ex-
pense Of tl10 each.
This year it is proposed to establish
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
~ to IL years of age, and six
fos girls and little children. Young
mon will act as leaders in the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice In
the sports, teaching new games as well as
he best ways Of plsying old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
OF historic or scenic interest, and acting
In general as elder brot hers.
Kindergartens will be in charge Of the
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
instructions will be given to the girls
In sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience of last year
will MAKE 1t possible to otherw ise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located In dIfferent
parts OF the city, near to or In the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support of the
Fairgrounds are solicited by the Joint COM
mittee OF the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free Kindergarten Association,
and may be sent to treasurer Of the former
society, MIR. William p. Goodwin, 20
