cHILoREN's PLAYGROUND

Bellows Falls sets a good example
for the rest of our larger municipali-
ties in establishing a municipal play
ground for the children. Young
America would seem to be pretty
well off in Bellows Falls. Nature and
art seem to have combined to make
their playstead everything that
could be desired. The municipality
has provided "A foot slide, see-saws,
sandboxes and horizontal bar, an out
door basket ball court just off the
the baseball diamond and swings and
seats and tables. At the west side
the water from spring on the hill
has been piped to a bubbling fountain
and cool, clean water is right at
hand for the youngsters. Further
more, the children during the months
OF July and August are taught how
to play by a young woman who makes
a speciality of this sort OF work. Let
other municipalities go and do
ikewise.-Burlington News
Bellows Falls is really following
the example of Bennington for a pub
lie playground under the direction Of

in this village three years ago And
If some of the mothers In the other
large communities in the state could
have an opportunity to observe the
benefits that are being derived by
the Bennington children there would
be more than two public Fairgrounds
in Vermont. Organized and intelli-
gently directed play for the little
folks has number of commendable
features. 1t affords opportunity for
the correction of numerous bad hab.
its which many children acquire
when left, as in the majority of cases
they must be, TO manage their own
recreation, it lessons the danger of
accidents and it fosters spirit of
fairness and generosity. One of the
most commendable features OF the
movement here in Bennington Is the
opportunity that it has afforded for
furthering the physical and mental
of the young girls. No
conclusion can be drawn other
than that the girls who are attending
the recreation classes are going to
be better women. physically. mental
ly and in every other respect because
of the experience and training they
are receiving.

Tracy for Workheuse Super.

The resignation of Superintendent
Morgan of the house of correction at
Rutland, which will doubtless be &C
cepted, means good appointment
for some one. Sheriff F. II. Tracy
OF this county is the man who has
often been spoken of to succeed Mr..
Morgan. The appointment should be
given to some one within the State
who has had experience in handling
prisoners. The position calls for a
good business man as well. There
is a human side to the caring for
and handling of criminals. Mr..
Tracys administration of affairs at
the county Jail has attracted wide
attention and has been generally
commended. He is also good bust
ness man. Washington county would
dislike to lose him, but his friends
are too loyal to ask him to remain a
county official If larger opportunities
present. themselves. No mistake will
be- make IL Mr.. Tracy is named TO
