INVITES INSPECTION
OF THE Fairgrounds
Board of Education Extends
Courtesy to Delegates to
Convention Here.

Delegates to the fifth annual meeting
Of the Playground Association Of Amer
lea here the latter part OF this week
have been extended a special invitation
by the board of education to visit the
school Fairgrounds. No time has been
set on the formal program Of the con-
vention for visit to, nor a discussion
Of, the school Fairgrounds. 1t Is ex-
pected. however. that the delegates will
find time to visit the school Fairgrounds
as we'll as the municipal grounds.
The school Fairgrounds. of which there
are thirty. are considered by the NOM
bers OF the board of education as being
fully as important as the municipal play
grounds. inasmuch as they are a natural
adjunct to the schools. Besides being
kept open during the scholastic year, as
many Of them as possible are maintained
throughout the summer. The number
kept open. however, depends wholly upon
the amount OF money given for their sup
port as Congress contributes only for
their repair and equipment The money
contributed comes from various sources,
both from individuals and from organiza-
tions.
Entertainments to Raise Funds.
One OF the most popular ways at the
present time is for the schools to give
entertainments and luncheons for the
benefit Of the school playground fund.
This is being done by local schools al
most daily. 1t is thought by many of
the school officials to be too serious a
drain on the teachers and scholars in
charge of the events.
1t Is pointed out that the school play
grounds are economical. inasmuch as, be-
ing near schools. proper facilities for
storing equipment. toilets and places of
rest during the hot part of the day are
already provided. Libraries, too. used in
conjunction with the Fairgrounds work
may be better cared for in a school, il is
said.
