Regarded as Foundation Stone.

This principle is regarded as one of the
primary stones in the foundation of LIS
work and the children are taught self-ret-
ance as well as generosity and fairness in
dealing with their playmates. The object
lesson of the guardians who have already
been at the work has been of great advan-
tage in intoxicating this spirit in the minds
of the youngsters. but it has been found
that more workers are needed to properly
handle the constantly growing throngs
when the Fairgrounds open for the season
early next month.
Among those who have taken a promi-
nent part in the preliminaries have been
Rev s. H. Greene, pastor of the Calvary
Baptist Church; Melvin B. Rideout. physi-
cal director of the Y. NJ. C. A; DR.. Henry
S. Curtis. George H. Brown, G. A. Weber
and others. The date which will be set
apart for the special reference to the mat
ter in the pulpits of the city has not yet
been determined upon. but will be within
a very short time, and 1t is believed that
nearly every minister in the city win re-
spond favorabiy to the suggestion.

PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE SOLICITS
COOPERATION OF CHURCHES.

By concerted action on the part of the
committee in charge of the public play
grounds of the city notices have been sent
to every clergyman in Washington with
view to enlisting their sympathies and CO
operation in advancing this movement for
the improvement of the condition of the
children of the District.
1t has been suggested to the clergymea
who have been addressed that they set
apart either Sunday, May 81, or Sunday,
June 4, as Fairgrounds Sundays on
which days either the sermons preachM IN
tho pulpits of the city. at least a part
OF them, shall be devoted to the plan of
Interesting the people in the movement
and perhaps appropriating a part of the
collections the day selected toward the
furtherance of the plans.
Many responses have been received by
the secretary Of the Associated Charities
Mr.. Charles F. Weller. WHO has taken a
deep interest in this work, and assurance is
given that the matter is of deep interest
also to the clergymen who have responded
In opening the subject Secretary Weller
presented the matter to the attention of the
Methodist ministers and DR.. Henry S. Cur
It's to those of the Baptist faith.
Since the institution of the public play
grounds in Washington it is estimated that
the number of children taking advantage
of these open spaces for their games has
been steadily increasing and the morals of
the pla yers has noticeably improved. With
a view to still further serving the children
it is suggested that the Sunday school
teachers of the city volunteer their serv
ices as guardians of the children at the
various Fairgrounds, in order to observe a
strict surveillance over them and to see
that the natural Juvenile propensity for the
stronger to take advantage of the weaker
be curbed and every child taught that his
fellow has just much and as many
