The playground is one OF the most
necessary accessories of a well arranged
school, and contributes largely to the ex-
cellence Of the attainments of the stu
dents. Physical exercise and recreation
are vitality connected With the pursuit OF
knowledge and must not be overlooked in
plans fo- building up the minds of the
boys and girls. Little enough thought
has been given in the past TO the matter
of suitable Fairgrounds for the children.
II the price asked for land for this pur-
pose seems more than it is worth, yet il it
is likely to be acquired for other pur-
poses, il is better to pay little more
than IL is worth than to let II go. Short
sightedness is poor guide in any move
ment, and Fairgrounds constitute factor
iu the health OF future generations OF
school children, as well a. that OF the lit
tie ones OF the present.-Rutlsnd Herald.
