exercises were the most interesting |
that have ever been given for some
of the children have actually grown
up in the summer schools, having
come to the Fairgrounds the first year
they were opened The parents and
friends of the pupils were profuse in
their expressions of appreciation and
pride at the advance made by their
offspring through the kindness of the
providers of these schools.
The exercises at Zunder school will
be held this morning from 10 to II
o'clock and there will be an exhibition
of work done during the summer. The
attendance has been larger and the
interest greater at the vacation schools
and Fairgrounds this summer than
ever, and the committee in charge has
been obliged to refuse admission to
the kindergarten and school because
of being unable to provide teachers at
the last minute for the little children
who applied. The growth of the vaca-
ton schools has been excellent proof
of the necessity for them, and the inn
provement in the children's work and
in the scholars themselves Is positive
! ly wonderful.
| At the Eaton school ninety children
have enjoyed the privileges Of the
school and forty-one smaller children
could not be accommodated who were
anxious to attend.
At Fair street school there were 100
children admitted, and to-day at the
Zunder school on George street 175
children will take part in the closing
1 there. These are children of the kin
dergarten department.
The first vacation Fairgrounds were
opened here in 1899 at which time
Mr. Isanoff, who was the starter of the
play grounds in Philadelphia and
other cities talked before the wom-
lan's school association of New Haven.
The board of education at that time
gave permission for play grounds to
be opened at the Eaton and Zunder
school yards. In 1899 play grounds
were opened at Wooster instead OF
Eaton school, and Wallace street and
Zunder, and the first school room was
opened at Zunder school The chill
dren came in gladly and the school
that first year was very successful
