The PLAYGROUND.

The most valuable assets that the
people Of our town possess are their boys
and girls On them depend the future
character Of our town, our state, our
country. 1t is not enough that we fur.
nish them with shelter, clothing and
food, or give them a common school
education. 1t is the inalienable right
Of every child to have chance to play
He should learn to work u course, that
is very important. He should also have
a time and place to play. He is nstuT
ally social aBd likes to play with his
mates. In well directed play he gains
health, self control. courtesy, respect
for rights Of Others, fairness-in short,
character. At present the only common
play ground is the street. think it is
granted by every one that that is not a
good play ground. Busy mothers are
apt to slight that part Of the child's
training, they are so busy attending to
the food and clothes supply, that al
most any kiL I OF game and play ground
is all right, so the child is out OF the
way, or at least, not troublesome. But
don't you think, fathers and mothers.
it would be very much safer and better
for your child to nave some place fitted
up with simple games and appliances,
with some older person to direct and
supervise the play? such place has
been provided in other towns, why not
have one here-we are just as able We
believe it can be done Don't you think
it is important enough to want it very
much? Won't you do all you can to
help get it?
