Public Plav Grounds.

TIE 2nVement to provide public play
ercunGs for the children of Washington
deserves hearty encouragement and prac-
teal aid from all citizens. The progress
already made in this direction is crafty
ing evidence of keen public appreciation
OF the need of this equipment, and 1t is
not to be doubted that in few weeks
Washington will be able to point to several
we'll furnished and conveniently situated
yards within which the children of vari-
Gus ages can engage safely in games Of
all kinds. The schools will soon be closed
for the summer and if some such provision
is not made for the little folks they will
swarm in the streets.
Street romping is bad for the children
in more ways than one. 1t brings them
in contact with the rougher aspects of life
They are physically imperiled. They can
play only a certain class of games there
which are not best suited to their needs
They must work off their animal spirits in
some way and If their activities are not
properly directed they will go to physical
excuses which are unwholesome. On a
properly furnished and conducted play
ground they will be encouraged to expend
their energies in heaithful sports and
games which will develop them physically
and refresh them mentally.
Washington needs these grounds even
though 1t is supplied with many little parks
These patches Of turf are guarded from
the invasion of the youngsters by chain
fences and staring mo trespass' signs
The larger parks are play grounds really
only for the very little ones, those whose
nurses are on the ground to watch them.
Unless taken into the country the average
city child gets its feet on the ground very
seldom. That contact with Mother Earth
is in itself wholesome. and 1t Is to be hoped
that in the near future this city. as well
as all others. will have play grounds which
will permit any child. in whatever quarter,
to go daily to a place where it can find
dirt and grass and breathing space and
appliances to stimulate proper interest
in outdoor sports and games.

The Pool Room at Wildwood.

The projectors of the pool room at Wild
wood. on the outskirts of the District are
evidently determined to force the issue as
10 their right 10 string wires. despite the
ordinance of the town of Takoma requiring
them TO secure a permit to do so. Their
service of an injunction upon the Takoma
authorities gives them little latitude for
the transaction of business pending the det1-
mite settlement of the towns rights in the
premises. But 1t is clear that the people
OF Takoma are not disposed to allow a
temporary setback to interfere with their
program. They will have the hearty sym
pathy OF the District in their campaign.

electric batteries and q general assortment
Of paraphernalia calculated to impress the
elements by their very variety and scientific
aspect They reached favorable spot and
began to pump up their gas bags and to
attach their wires and were about to open
the bombardment when the skies opened
and showers fell at such rate that the
rainmakers broke for shelter. This Is q
contemptibly inconsiderate sort Of treat
ment. 1t would have cost nature nothing
to withhold the showers q few minutes and
then to let them descend as IL in answer to
the summons. OF course, this premature
precipitation has saved the cost of several
balloons and powder charges, but doubtless
the "prOfessors'' would have preferred to
be allowed to expend them

Education's Progress.


From the baltimore American.

The Crowd,
From the Hartford Times.

From the Hartford Times.
Let a lady faint or a man fall In a fit. or
let any accident happen in the street, and
the first impulse of an enlightened populace
is to crowd around and shut of the air.
which is usually the one thing the victim
needs. Most Of those who make the crowd
never see anything of what is going on
but they have lasting hope that they
may accidentally get to the front where
there Is the best chance of being hurt by
the police or involved in any danger that
exists. 1t takes next to nothing TO
gather a crowd. but 1t is impossible to ex-
plain its development on any basis of rea-
son. Idle curiosity and monkey-like imi-
tation seems to draw most Of those who
swell the crowd One runs because he sees
some one else running.
