CHURCHES LEND AID.
Committee to Assist Managers of Chill
dren's Playgrouuds,

A committee, with Mr.. Carlton R. Ball as
chairman, was recently appointed to enlist
workers for the children's public Fairgrounds
of the city from churches in the vicinity of
the grounds. It has been found that the la
dies who are in charge Of the grounds for
small children at list street and New York
avenue northwest, those for larger children
at North Capitol and L streets northeast
and those for colored children at list and p
streets northwest, have not been able to
keep the exuberant spirits of the young
sters in check. The grounds in these sec
lions of the city are still such novelty
that the children have not had time to learn
to conduct themselves in as quiet and Or
derby q manner as do those in the play
grounds in the southwest that have been
established for longer period. 1t Is hoped,
with the aid of workers from the neighbor-
ing churches, that all will be soon going
smoothly, and persons nearby will have
nothing to complain of in the way of bois-
terousness.
Already four churches have responded to
the requests of the committee and there is
are present at their respective posts every
evening, and help the players to have the
right kind of good time. Each Of these
aids wears badge with Assistant to the
Playground Committee printed upon 1T.
Mr.. Chno H. Rudolph, chairman of that
committee, said this morning that the num-
Der Of children that would be likely to use
the new grounds had been greatly under
estimated. Something over a hundred was
the estimate, but there have been at least
800 children on these three Fairgrounds in
one evening. 1t is partly on account of this
that the committee has found 1t necessary
to ask the aid of the churches.
Mr.. Rudolph also said that the committee
recently received letter from a resident in
the southeast describing the condition of
the children there. and urging that provi-
sion be made for their entertainment At
tention will be paid to this request, it Is
said, at the next meeting Of the committee.

enrolled themselves and the great book now
contains the names Of $4,000 persons bear
ing the name Of Smith. who have been
present at some time during the last
twenty-five years.
