WORK OF THE FAIRGROUNDS.

The closing for the season of the seven public
Fairgrounds of Richmond, literally supported by
the Council and conducted as a labor of love
by the Federation Of Mothers Clubs, calls re-
newed attention to a work of which any city
might well be proud During the season there
have been enrolled in the several grounds be-
tween four and five thousand children in the
six white and one colored departments of the
work. They almost entirely children who,
wanting the advantages afforded by the instl-
tuition, would have had no other place in which
to follow the natural instincts of childhood than
the streets. They were many OF them children
who, in coming under the wholesome influence
and watchful care of the monitors in charge,
gained as definite something in character as
they gained in the bodily benefits of exercise, of
space, of air. They were all of them made happy
in right direction, where otherwise they would
have run the danger of forming unwholesome and
unhealthy associations.
Elsewhere The Vtrg|ni0n prints detailed ac-
count of this good and growing work. 1t is shown
that under its benetcent influence many children
have come to new conceptions of life and habits.
1t shows clearly the gold that lies beneath the
squalor of childhood. More than all, it shows how
readily the least fortunately situated child wei
comes and responds to clean example and right
impulse. Because of their greater need, the re-
suits with the negro children show perhaps the
greatest contrast. In the good growing out OF
this one playground alone the cost and trouble OF
the entire work are more than compensated for
In treating the playground system literally
and in giving the devoted women of the Mother
Clubs free hand in the work, the City Council
sets a high example In the performance of civic
duty.

LEE DISTRICT CAR EXTENSION.

There should be speedy action by Council up
on the application Of the Virginia Railway and
Power Company for franchise for the further
extension and equipment OF It's hines West OF
Harrison Street to the Roscneath Road, bisect-
ing the fan" Of the residential section of Lee
District lying between Broad and Main Streets.
Such line would seem 10 be IN keeping with
the logical development of the companys track
age system within and adjacent to the city of
Richmond. 1t is demanded by the necessities of
an already large and rapidly growing section
much Of which is not now in close touch with
street ear facilities The fact that the expendi-
ture necessary TO establish the proposed line
would manifestly he too large to admit the hope
of It's being an Immediately profitable investment
shows a policy on the part of the company of TAX
ing care of transportation needs as they arise.
In this policy it should have the sympathy of
the people of the whole city The progressive
transportation company does not follow but leads
and points the direction Of development. In seek
ing TO do this it shows its faith in the growth
of the city In this sort of practical confidence
il ought by all means to gain encouragement
from the city.
