Pres. Taft Warmly Approves
OF Fairgrounds for the Young.

Pittsburg, May 10.-The annual congress
of the Playground Association of America
began here tonight with representatives
present from about 40 cities.
Mayor William A. Magee on behalf of
Pittsburg welcomed the delegates to the
city. Luther NJ 'Gulick, NJ. d., professor
Of the National Association, responded
to the addresses of welcome and gave
his annual address.
President Taft sent letter to the con-
gress which was read at the meeting to-
night. The President said:
The White House, Washington, April go
1909
/ greatly regret that I cannot be with
you at your third annual congress at
Pittsburg from May 10th to 18th of this
year. but / write to express my most
sincere sympathy in the work which your
association is doing.
do not know anything that will con-
tribute more to the strength and morality
of that generation of boys and girls COM
PEELED to remain part of urban popula-
lions in this country than the institution
in their cities of play grounds where their
hours of leisure can be occupied by ra-
tional and healthful exercises. The adj
vantage is two-fold:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1909-05-11

In the first place idleness and confine-
ment in a narrow space in the city, in
houses and cellars, and unventilated
rooms, Is certain to suggest and bring
about pernicious occupations and create
bad habits. Gambling, drinking and 9TH
err forms of vice are promoted in such a
restricted mode of life.
In the second place, an opportunity for
hard. earnest and joyous play improves
the health, develops the muscles, expands
the lungs and teaches the moral lessons of
attention, self restraint, courage and pa
tient effort.
l think every city is under the strongest
obligation to its people to furnish to the
children from the time they begin to walk
until they reach manhood places within
the city walls large enough and laid out
in proper form for the playing Of all sorts
of games which are known to our boys
and girls and are liped by them.
I sincerely hope that-your present con-
vention may be a success and that the
work which you have begun may go on
until no city in this country is without
suitable Fairgrounds for the children of
those who but for such city assistance
in this regard would be without them.
Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM II. TAFT.

the day two hours earlier in the sum-

afternoon and evening recreation. The
proposition is to turn the clock back two
hours May to remain in effect until
Oct. a. when the hands shall be return

occurs to us to be foolish
one. II those who have the time for
afternoon and evening recreation want
to enjoy it, they can do so without up
