SKATERS from The streets uuder PEN
atty OF arrest. This drives them 10
the only other places for skating,
piers and halls. But the Legislature
is trying to pass a bill providing. that
no child under sixteen years OF age
shall attend a place OF public amuse-
ment unless accompanied by parents.
Won't you please inform me, II in
your opinion, the school children can
get sufficient play and recreation
after school hours by doing crochet
work at home or skating around a
dining room table?'
Evidently the writer of the above
was a little cross and peevish, and
lyet her communication contains con-
siderable truth and logic.
I'm the first place, the police or
der lnlllg jay sn4le SKATERS from the
streets is justified. 1t is necessary
in the best interests of children.
Several years ago before the city
had grown to its present size and
the automobile was practically UNI
known, there was little necessity Tor
an order of this kind. But condi-
lions have changed with time. The
streets, with their ~congested auto
mobile traffic, are dangerous. To al
low the children to amuse them
selves on the streets Is to allow them
to put their lives In jeopardy.
The playground Is the remedy.
Every growing city is under moral
obligation to provide against that
condition which is the curse of many
'~overgrown towns; congestion to such
an extent that thousands of little
tenement jewellers have no larger
place in which to play than the
shaded platform of a fire escape.
Nov Is the time to act In Allan
tic City-now, while there is yet land
that can be converted into play
grounds without prohibitive cost.
he city already owns a large plot
of unoccupied land on the north
side. Why not convert this into an
attractive playground and a free
pubic skating rink Why not ce-
nent the yards OF all city school
buildings and allow the children to
use them for skating? What little
damage they might do, the city could
we'll afford to repair in the interests
OF its growing children"
