 MT. Tsanoff of New York will de- liver lecture at the Young Mems h. stitute library Saturday at p. m., un- der the auspices of the New Haven Womens School association, on '"Ihe Education and Value of a Public Play ground" All members and any who are interested in the subject are in- Vited to attend. The association has been fortunate in securing for it's last monthly meeting, tomorrow, the Bull garian philanthropist, MT. Tsanoff, who is also the apostle of vacation, or rather play ground education for the long season of enforced idleness. Mr. Tsanoff seems to have solved this prob lem-at least judging from experiences in Philadelphia and Boston, where thousands of happy children enjoyed the practical carrying out of his easily
 
 sical growth. In Boston, especially, the success of these public play grounds was such as to warrant, after but one seasons experience, much larger cir cle and scheme of management. In- terest in New Haven has been already aroused, and some steps taken towards a beginning. After the lecture-when the association shall have had the bene- | fit of MT. Tsanoff's personal enthusiasm and advice-it shall hope to go on with this fascinating work.
