Promotion Of Athletics.

Athletics on the Playground" was the
subject discussed by Lee F. Hammer, de-
partment Of hygiene. Russell Sage Foun-
dalton. OF New York city. He laid stress
| upon the necessity of providing the proper
athletics for the children Of various ages.
and for girls and boys. The girls should
not be allowed to take part in all the
athletics allowed the boys, he said. He
referred to the fact that many persons
| today believe that too much attention Is
given to athletes. and effort should be
made on the Fairgrounds not to let ath-
letics be run into the ground. He said
that athletics taught the value of team
work and the rights of others. He ad-
v1sed against developing star athletes at
the expense of the majority Of lesser
lights. and advocated class teams. placing
the boys and girls OF varying abilities in
the different classes.
A discussion followed Mr.. Hammers
address. in which J. E Peterson of
Cleveland, Ohio. E. b. DeGroot OF Chi
cago and r. w. Stitt of New York took
part Mr. Peterson said that distinction
should be made between athletic con-
tests In which the players went in to win
at all costs, such as the foot ball and
base ball games between the colleges. and
those in which athletics became an art.
like professional base ball. and those in
which the players took part just for the
fun Of the game. He declared that sport
for sports sake should be encouraged on
the Fairgrounds.

Purchases to Be Light.


1t Is my idea to make the purchases
Of this sort Of equipment as light as pos
sible," said Mr.. Paxton, because as you
know, the first steps in this new propo-
sition are III the nature Of an experiment,
and it may be wise to make big changes
In the equipment. We may find ii nee
essary.. or wise, to get more sprinkIers
or more sweepers or more 'squeegees,' or
1t may be necessary to get something
entirely new. Carts and horses. of
course, we can always use. but the rest
of the equipment Is being bought in
quantities that will not make us feel
foolish afterward."
With some OF the equipment now on
hand, the downtown sections are getting
twice as much cleaning as they ever had
before. However, this will not keep up
forever, for as soon as the Dist let be-
comes its own contractor the equipment
now in use downtown will be called into
play In other streets. '''

for next year. because he says the Dis.

Il don't want to say too much" he
remarked today. because 1 don't want
to build up any false hopes. What we
intend to do Is to take hold Of the
proposition the LIST day Of July, watch
1t very carefully and do our level best

with are the machine sweeping. the
alley cleaning and the cleaning Of un.
improved streets.
The downtown sections now handled by
the white wings and "squeegees,'' will
remain practically as at present. But the
big area Of machine-swept streets will be
turned right over to the Districts owr
employees on the morning of July 1. A
contractor does 1t now.
Discusses New Machine.
The alleys will be swept and cleaned by
District employees also. Mr.. Paxton has
In mind a new alley-sweepng machine
which he intends to try. The machine
raises considerable dust. he says. but is
believed to clean the alleys better than
anything yet tried. Talking Of this ma.
chine. he said today:
"Of course II we sprinkle water ahead

vents q machine getting all Of the dust
II We swept the streets without watering
them we would BET UP much more dust

along the streets would be very dusty.
The more water we sprinkle on the
streets the less dust and dirt the machines
take up have a complaint in the mail
today. some one complaining because not
enough water is sprinkled ahead Of the
sweepers. So you see. We have to arrtS =

The street cleaning department will
have about $22O,UOO to spend on the proc

Evening the Time for Play.

children. just like little animals, come
out to play in the evening"" said Mr.. De
Groot, land we should provide places for
them to play in at night. just as well as
in the day. Records Of the juvenile courts
show that children between the ages Of
10 and 1S. who would use the play
grounds. often get into trouble from
roaming about the streets at night
Mr.. De Groot advocated particularly
shower baths. swimming pools and wading
pools. The swimming pools. he said. were
among the best drawing cards to be
found In the public Fairgrounds. He gave
a detailed description Of the apparatus
which should be installed for the children,
| and Disseminated between equipment and
apparatus. Fences, he said, were very
necessary about Fairgrounds in large cit
les; where so many persons were on the
lookout to bring suit against the munich
| pality and where the municipality had
charge Of the Fairgrounds. He advo-
Gated the planting of shrubbery and flow
| ers about the Fairgrounds. but warned
against the play leaders giving all their
time to the care Of the plants at the ex-
penSe of the children

tage to teach the boys many Of the
things they must learn to become scouts.
