THE PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT.

Woman's School Association Will Issue
 an Appeal to the Public.
 The following appeal will go out in a few days from the playgrounds com mittee of the Women's School associa- tion to the citizens of New Haven:
 ''The playgrounds committee of the Womens School association asks your help in fitting up the Zunder and Eaton school yards as playgrounds this sum- mer for the children in these crowded districts of the city, and also in paying the salaries of suitable matrons and teachers for the same. The plea that these yards will afford fresh air and healthful surroundings every day in the week to hundreds of children who would otherwise be left in crowded streets, tenements and alleys to absorb the evils which result from enforce idle ness is one which must appeal to all welfare of our city at heart. Contribu- tions great or small, will be gratefully received by the chairman of the com mittee, Mrs. Charles s. DeForest, 66 Trumbull street, or by the treasurer of the School association, Mrs. J. K. Herz, 131 Edwards street."
 The playgrounds will be open on Sat- urday, it Is expected, and while the committee has already received about $200, few hundred more are needed be- fore the expense for carrying on the work throughout the summer can be met
