THE FIRST COUNTY SCHOOL
PLAYGROUND In THE COUNTY,
POSSIBLY IN THE STATE.
District number five (Hika SCHOOL,
Centerville, recently has adapted the
playground idea for school children
and have installed an equipment for
that purpose on the school grounds.
About five or six swings have been put
up, and number of teetee-totters. A
whlrlgig and few other kinds of
equipment will be added to the equip
ment already installed within short
time. The board is also contemplating
the purchase OF piece of land adjacent
the school grounds for the purpose of
enlarging the playground.
This is really the first step toward a
school playground provided with equip
ment in the county; the cities of Man
itowoc and Two Rivers not excepted.
For country district it is probably
the first in the state.
The outfit for this playground was
purchased at no great expense and the
board has already seen wherein its val
ue lies.
The members of this board should be
congratulated upon having taken this
step, and the superintendent wishes to
recommend to the teachers and to 9TH
er school boards that they visit this
school and inspect the grounds and the
school.
This school board is doing something
and thinking about something over and
above the work of the school room
only, The teacher of this school is
also entitled TO credit for the sugges-
tions and advice rendered in this con-
nection
