city, they say that half a million dol
lars was poured into the tills Of the
restaurant keepers and wine mer-
chants of BrOadway-half a million
dollars for play, without the least re-
turn to the players except perhaps IN
New Years resolutions in the morn
ing.
During November, 1907, more than
81 ,000, 900 was spent IN the United
states for a mighty different kind OF
play, the kind that means health and
training and discipline to hundreds OF
thousands Of boys and girls. This ex-
penditure OF 100000 for playground
sites for children is a new bill for the
United States. There was time, and
not so long ago either, when only a
favored few could go to school. Nov
the chance is open TO all and whether
the child wishes 1t or not, to school
he goes. Country schools and city
schools are crowded, and the Cry of "a
seat for every child" IS a national cry
And now we are going still further
and saying that not only must every
child go to school but every child
must have a chance to play as well
Yes, a chance to pl2y-not as we see

The Playground Association of
America has had a large part in pOpu-
lariZ;ng the playground idea. 1t was
oreanized in Washington little more
than year ago with President Roose-
welt as honorary president and DR..
Luther H. Gulick as acting president
and has established headquarters at
624 Madison avenue. New York. where
it is mapping out an active campaign
for 1908. Those at the head of the
work believe that there is to be a big
growth in Fairgrounds among the
smaller cities of America in the next
few years. The cities realize that
play is not the need Of Door children
alone, but of all children, and that the
failure to provide play opportunities
for them leaves them exposed to many
moral dangers, and is the cost of neg
lect in the end; that it is cheaper to
equip Fairgrounds than it is to bu'I8
prisons, and pay doctors bills, and
that the product of the second method
is not at all comparable with the pro-
duet of the first.

of the Public Schools Athletic League

Where the real practical work OF
the Playground Association comes in
is in the advice furnished to cities and
associations desiring TO estaDIS play
grounds. The association is working
through a conference of supervisors
from various cities to agree upon a
model standard equipment for home
playground, for a school playground.
and for a municipal playground. They
will furnish drawings and specifica-
tons to any city desiring them, and
it IS hoped that arrangements may
be made with steel companies to fur
Rish steel pipes of standard lengths
so that playground can be erected by
mere screwing the parts together.
Probably the children who have the
greatest need of Fairgrounds are the
children in orphan asylums and other
grounds because they lack Initiative,
because they do not have enough OPP
portunity for adult companionshfp, be-
cause they have so few other joys.
The association would like TO put a
secretary in the field to devote all of
his time TO developing this phase OF
work if it can secure the money.

psychology and practice of play be
