needs a playground out of doors. in which
it can amuse itself safely for the greater
part of every pleasant day, and this, in the
main, is impracticable in a city. Even
where there are plenty of parks-aad every
large town should have these breathing
spaces for its population-few parents
wish their young children to play there
without oversight. and few can spare a
servant or other member of the family for
this duty. The mother must be at home
TO look after the affairs Of the household;
the older children are in school. and the
adult members of the family are all likely
to be busy about something important.
The only practicable playground for young
children is the dooryard Of their own
homes. and # the home has no dnoryard
there seems to be no very good substitute
for It. In the suburban home it is pos
sible TO have little plot of ground for
garden, and one need not be very rich in
order to own his house This is a desirable
condition of affairs for the middle-class
population of any country. Where the
workingman and the clerk and the lawyer
and the doctor in a village own their
homes there is likely TO be considerable
public spirit. for each has a personal in
terest in securing a pure water supply,
suitable public buildings. good car service,
and other advantages for the community.
