SCHOOLHOUSES IN Parks.
Suggested Plan an BOStOn-TO Con.
Uey Children from Tenements.

Boston, Juno 9-P1ans calling for the construc-
ton of schOolhouses in the parks on the borders
OF the CITY, instead of IN the cougested tenement
house regions, and free transportation and from
the schools for children OF the densey populated
localities are under consideration by the Boston
Schoolhouses Commission. 1t is expected that
action viii be taken upon the proposition at an
early date The plan is favored by persons familiar
with economic and sociological questions who
claim that is perfectly feasible in that It be
operated at less expense than would be necessary
for the purchase Of land and the erection of build
ings in thickly settled portions of the city, and
that It would provide for the transfer the citys
expense of the boys and girls of the crowded
streets to the light, air and playing space of the
parks.
The question brought before the school COM
mission by need Of additional schoolhouses in the
West End tenement district where the cost OF
land is high. Instead of securing lots IN crowded
blocks and under conditions which would practi-
cally prohibit suitable light and breathing space,
the proposition made that park land, which
the city already owned be utilized and the interest
money saved be applied to the free transportation
OF the pupils TO the outlying schools. 1t was
clilned that advantageous Arrangements could be
respect, as the children would travel at times when
the cars are carrying comparatively few passen-
gers, and that the direction would be opposite to
the general trend OF traffic at the hours appointed
lighter and more simple construction. and conse-
4ueAly less expensive than would be possible I'M
and supporters of the proposition figure that ac-
transportation. would be provided for less than
$4,000. which would be the interest on the re-
qulred for city buildings.
point on which much emphasis is laid IS the
certainty that the health and morals of the schools
could be cared for better under the park system
than in the crowded quarters.
The chief objection noted in connection with the
project IS on the matter OF luncheon for the chill
dreu at noon. In many cases, II Is argued, par
euts could not afford to buy luncheOns, while Il
would be out of the question for each child TO
bring food. Those who favor the undertaking go
So far as to suggest that luncheons could be pro
yidcu at the citys expense, and the total cost be
kept within the probable interest on appropriations
that would otherwise be needed. II Is urged,
Furthermore, that In many instances it would not
bee 10 the detrimeDt OF the health Of the children
for the city To provide nutritious food.
The entire question gone at the last
meeting OF the school board. No action taken.
but the proposition, IL Is learned, Is receiving
nest consideration from the members of the COM
