SCHOOLS IN PUBLIC PARKS.

Boston's finance commission has
placed itself upon record as favoring
the building of one of the public
schools in one of Boston's public
parks. II the suggestion should be
acted upon by the Boston city govern
ment 1t would probably involve a
unique experiment A schoolhouse is
to be built In portion of the city
where property is high-priced, and
even at high price 1t is difficult to
get a suitable site. In Washington
park the city has an area of 396,125
square feet in such location as to
make an ideal site, says the st. Paul
Dispatch. The commission argues that
the school building will occupy but
$4,000 square feet of this space, and
that the curtailing OF the breathing
area will, therefore, not be serious On
the other hand. the fact Of having
school In the park will attract to 1t
maximum number of children and
promote the object Of the park
While the finance commission does
not wish to make its recommendation
precedent, it has in it a suggestion
OF value. The plan might be worked
both ways. locating schools where con-
venient In public parks so as to give
the children maximum of ground for
recreation, and turning the grounds
about such buildings into breathing
spots for the use of the neighbor-
hoods. especially in vacation times.
