For Bigger and Beiter P.ay5rounls
Interest That Has Been Shown in the First Two Weeks Encourages the Thought of the Further Progress of Movement Six Grounds Now Taxed to Capacity

Sine the playgrounds of the city were opened, two weeks ago, the patronage that they have enjoyed from the chill dren of the city indicates that this year they are taking a larger share of interest than at any time since their institution. Each ground now is daily taxed to its capacity, and the teach CTS find themselves busily engaged in keeping their charges in order and oc- cupied with the various games and di- versions that are provided Director Welt says that the only great difficult ty that is encountered is that of get ting the children to leave for their meals and at closing time; no urging what ever is necessary to have them accept the privileges of these centerS of recreation.
 So popular have the grounds become and so evidently beneficial are their results that the question of providing greater facilities another year is now being considered by those interested in the nov ement. In comparison to pre- vious years the present playgrounds are more formidable, due without doubt to the more thoroughly organized sys- tem and the excellent force of teachers which has been developed.
 But in view of the greater demands that are being made upon the grounds and the opportunities that other cities are embracing in various extensions ot playground work and teaching, there are several things that would make the Norwich playgrounds better than they now are. The first suggestion that is offered in the installation of better and more modern apparatus, for it is con- ceded that while the equipment this

year is superior to that in operation last summer, it is not what is consid- cred up to date. A better arrang gement of playgrounds is also advocated by those who are working on the prob lem, for while it is the best that pres ent conditions will permit another year, with proper support on the part of the public, more commodious grounds could very likely be provided One of the essentials for most play grounds is that they should have a ball solved this year by the offer by the commissioners of the use of the field in Mohegan park.
 The Norwich Playground association has been following the policy of build ing up one phase of the work at a time, and the results that have been at tained in the city since the movement was begun three years ago are very creditable
 The association is finding in it's plans for future progress the hearty endorse ment and cooperation of the board of education and park commission and some of the business men have been found generous in their support Com plaints from people living in the neigh borhood of the grounds have been ex- ceedingly rare this year, and the care takers and the police maintain sat iSfactory state of affairs at all hours. The parents of the hundreds of chill dren who enjoy the grounds find them a source of pleasure and benefit and the efforts to extend the scope of the work by increasing the facilities or taking up new branches of the work Is entitled to the endorsement and SUD- port of public spirited citizens.
