Money for Fairgrounds.

Something like 5000 is needed BY the
citizens who are in charge of the work Of
maintaining public Fairgrounds for the
children OF Washington. in order to keep
I'D the work this summer. Congress failed
TO provide penny for the maintenance of
the grounds, which it has heretofore rec
ognized as distinct part of the municipal
equipment. This ineXplicable attitude on
the part OF the local legislature has
thrown upon the people of the District the
burden of carrying on this important UNI
dertaking and an appeal to them has been
issued which should result in a prompt
response. About thousand dollars have
been subscribed by individuals and the
school children have raised approximately
$500. These sums will only go a short
distance. however, and unless the grounds
for lack OF care and supervision the pub
lie must come to the rescue.
In the course of the debate on this item
IN the House certain members adopted the
attitude that Washington should support
the enterprise by priva;e contributors.
This Is an altogether erroneous view of
the citizens responsibility and of the obl-
cations laid upon the national government
III IT'S maintenance OF the federal capitai.
Throughout the United States public
Fairgrounds are regarded as important
adjuncts TO the schools and as an effective
offset against the police court and the
hospital. Tardily but effectively some Of
the cities have recognized the truth that
growing children require properly super
yised playing facilities just as much as
they need well managed schools 1t be-
speaks limited concept of governmental
responsibilities for Congress to proceed
upon the policy that Fairgrounds are pri-
vate enterprises TO be maintained wholly
by charity.
While Washington may demur 10 this
policy and hold 10 the view that the play
grounds should be maintained BY munich
pal funds, yet unquestionab.y in this
emergency it will come 10 the front with
the necessary means TO keep the grounds
open under proper supervision throughout
the season. There is no better object in
view for the stray dollars of the public
citizens than this. 1t is one of the best
forms of summer charity.
