Educating the Oyster.

The trick dog, the table-broke CHM

find worthy fellow-the educated oys-

ify for vaudeville: so far from appearing
before the glare of the footlights, he Is
to remain in the obscurity of his own
proper bed. But he Is to be instructed
how to do his work to better effect and
thus fill more satisfactorily his place In
the modern world. His chief labor is no
longer TO help along the stew or the
patty, but to produce pearls. and he is
to be taught how to make them larger
and more perfectly spherical than here

which broke through the mist about .
O'clock and the Riddles were on hand
in great numbers to welcome parents and
friends who came to investigate the work
of the Fairgrounds
both before. and after the services; in
the various churches people who had read
the general invitation to visit the grounds
stopped for a few minutes. The teachers,
who had volunteered their services for
the day, were on hand early and visitors
were shown and told of the good done by
the recreation parks.

difference to the children between search
ing for amusement in the streets and
having il furnished in we'll kept, Clearly
and congenial surroundings, as furnished
by the public Fairgrounds, were worked
in by the teachers and guides whenever
possible, and many visitors left the
grounds visibly impressed with the good
work being done for their own or their
neighbors children.
we're received in a number OF small steel
banks that were distributed around the
grounds, and those who wished to send
in checks for larger donations were told
to mail them to the Washington Play
grounds Association, in the Metropolitan
Bank building.
No donations were announced from
headquarters of the association today.
Yesterday more than 5000 of the 5000
necessary to continue the work until the
beginning CT the next fiscal year had
been subscribed.
Decide Fate December 1.
One week remains before the executive
committee Of the association will meet
to decide on the fate of the children for
the time intervening between now and
June 80. 1911. 1t was decided at one
time that unless the $1,000 necessary to
run the grounds until June 30, 1911, was
raised by December l the grounds would
be closed down soon as the present
appropriation had been expended Later
II was decided to keep the Fairgrounds
open as long as the money contributed
by DecemOSr 1 would carry them.
At presen, indications, this would mean
the closing of the grounds for at least two
months, period when the grounds would
be much needed by children and parents
alike. 1t is possible, il the contributions
during the next week continue good. that
the committee will decide TO run the
grounds as long as incoming donations
will permit. taking a small chance at
being caught shy at the end of the
year. Much depends on the interest shown
between now and December 1.
