INTEREST IN FAIRGROUNDS
Letters Regarding the Benefaction in
Other Cities.

interest in public playground is shown I'm
communications received In this city by per
sons engaged in the promotion OF the
project communication has been received
by Mr. Henry 5. Curtis, supervisor Of play
grounds, from Mrs. Samuel Forter. chair
man of the legislative committee of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs who
is sister of Representative Calderhead or
Kansas, who has been active In promoting
public improvements in Kansas City.
Mrs. Forter stated that the public plav-
ground for children Is no longer an expert
ment. The city of Chicago spends large
sums for Fairgrounds, and the moral and
physical benefits derived cannot be over
estimated. The clean, well-kept playground
where liberty does not mean license but
order and obedience. is restful and refining.
1t helps the children to be better and hap
pier The lot of poor neglected children is
unspeakably sad. All this means better
citizenship Aside from this. Washington
should have not only public Fairgrounds.
but the very best of these and of all good
things. The public Fairgrounds and parks
and public improvements of this city should
serve as models of beauty, OF design and
architecture to the people of other cities
who visit here. The plan and purpose OF
these things would be to inspire all who
come here with pride and love for our ma
tonal capital.
Mrs. Sarah S. Plato Decker president of
the General Federation of Women's Clubs,
dIso sent uedillS Win ilt
subject She stated that the public play
grounds for children in cities were need
full schools, and that to expect to build
q strong nation, physically, mentally ana
