WANTS PUBLIC PLAYGROUND.
Hum boldt Republican,.


Narshalltown is agitating a public
play ground and athletic field for boys.
A citizen who recently returned to that
place from the north tells of a town OF
800 people in the region where he Wis
tied that had a block devoted to sports
for boys. 1t was fitted with good
baseball diam ond. for basket ball and
football, had a cinder path and gym
nasium fittings that lure the boys. 1t
was open from : in the morning to 9 at
night, and all boys We're welcome. The
rules Of the field called for gentle
manly conduct at all times and liquors
and tobaccos were rigidly prohibited.
Needless to say 1t drew the boys like
a syrup pitcher draws flies. Also
needless to say, it keeps the boys busy
in healthful. manly way. 1t removes
from their paths temptations in many
forms. aud the pitfalls that beset the
average youth who is forced to seek
secluded spot for baseball, or who goes
up the river with a sang Under the
guise of fishing.
Humboldt should arouse herself to
the necessity of play ground for the
boys. There Is room a plenty In our
parks, and it should be utilized Per
haps there is no town in northern Iowa
SO ideally situated in this respect. and
we are indeed foolish If we do not i'm
prove the opportunities nature and
generous citizens have laid at our door.
Why should we neglect our opportunf-
ties and allow our boys to wander up
the river fishing, there to learn to drink
or smoke, or down the river hunting,
there to learn to stack a deck and bet
cents on the corner in a card game?
Why not have the boys at home, in
public park with citizens passing and
watching at all times, where the
chances for evil contamination are
minimized? Very few Of us can see
very far ahead We do not realize the
great benefits that will be ours and our
posterity's if we make the coming gen.
Grafton better. We all like nice build
