IS CITY's BIGGEST PROBLEM
superintendent of Chicago Movement
Shows What Work Is Being Done to
Get More Interest in Play Ground
and Social Center Work in Big City.

Enthusiastic support OF Inc play
ground movement in Kenosha was at
tested on Friday evening when a large
crowd of people went to the Guild
Hall to attend the lecture given by Il.
b. DETROIT of Chicago, superintendent
of the play ground movement in that
city and a man with national expert
ence in the work of securing better
care For the children. The lecture was
the last in the social service series
given under the auspices of St. Mat
thews Church 1t was not the first
time that Mr.. DETROIT had spoken in
the city, but this time he showed many
added features Of the development of
the play ground system in Chicago and
gave many interesting suggestions for
the starting of the movement in Ke-
nosha. In the audience were a number
Of the members of the common coun-
ell and several officials of the city and
they took an especial interest in the
lecture.
The play ground in Chicago is gain
ing impetus every year and the lect-
ure on Friday evening showed that
Chicago had done much to develop the
idea since the last appearance Of Mr..
DeGroot in Kenosha. He showed dur
ing the evening a great number of
pictures of new play grounds added to
the system III Chicago during the past
season and gave considerable of his
time to celebrating on the develop
ment of the social centers as part
of the play ground movement. Most
interesting of all in his lecture was his
story of what the play grounds had
done to reduce crimes among young
children in Chicago. He decl,red that
whenever play ground was opened it
was sure to be followed with an i'm
provement in the moral tone of the
young people of the particular COM
munity in which it was located.
Mr.. DeGroot urged influential people
in Kenosha to get behind the play
ground movement in Kenosha and he
declared that the problem of taking
care of the children was the largest
problem before the municipalities of
the nation today. He declared that
no city was too small to begin the de-
velopment of the play ground and So
cial center system, holding that it was
one Of the best possible things for
bringing better conditions for the
foreign population Of the cities and
bringing these people into closer touch
with American institutions
Members Of the park commission Of
the city took a great interest in the
lecture and it is declared that the com
mission will in a short time take up
the problem with view Of putting
municipal support behind the move
ment. 1t is thought that several other
organizations will also get behind the
movement and that start along the
lines of securing play grounds even
though it be in small way will be
taken during the coming spring and
summer months.

dition to these, 2,2S7 children under 6,

negroes, and 90 among native whites.
For all classes combined, the per-
centage of illiteracy is slightly higher
in rural than in urban communities, 33
as compared with 3. The rural per-
centage exceeds the urban for each
class separately, except the foreign
whites, most of whom arrive in this
country when past the school age.
Among them the percentage is the same
in the urban as in the rural popula-
tion.

TENNYsON' s POEM
THEME FOR SERMON
Rev. J. L. Gardiner Employs
''Ring Out Wild Bells" as
Medium to Show Truths of
Life.

Ring Out wild Bells was the
theme discussed Sunday night at the
ST. PauTs Memorial Methodist church
by the pastor, Rev. James L. Gard-
ner, b. d. In speaking on Tennysons
popular poem the speaker said:
81 believe there is in this poem
message, which we all need for the
closing of the year; and the first
thought to which L desire to direct
your attention is to be found in the
second stanza. The poet says, Ring
out, the false. ring in the true.
The poet is here making passion
ate plea for truth. And how much
that plea is needed today! There is,
we all know much OF deceit, dishon-
esty and fraud in the world. Men
everywhere have low standards OF
righteousness. Now truth lies at the
very foundation of character. There
can be no abiding manhood without
ii. There is a command, which every
man must obey, Thou shalt not lie.
If there is therefore anyone in this
audience, who has not been living up
to the high standard of truth as set
forth in the gospels by Jesus Christ
would urge that you this night take
stock. If you do so you will find that
you are weighed in the balance and
found wanting. There is motto
which every man should obey, Buy
the truth and sell it not. Ring out
the false, ring in the true.
Rich VS.. Poor.
In another stanZa Tennyson says,
Ring out the feud of rich and poor.
How are we to ring out the feud be-
tween rich and poor? Between CAPT
tai and labor? We can only accom-
plish this by putting into practice the
words of the Christ uttered in his SER
mon on the mount, All things what
soever We would that men should do
unto you, do we even so unto them.
II the feud between capital and labor
is to come to end we must put into
practice the great doctrine OF broth
erliness: we must carry out the COM
mand, Thou shalt love thy neighbor
| as myself.
I'm the fifth stanza our poet says.
| Ring out the faithless coldness Of the
times I think we need this injunc-
| ton today. The present age is an age
| Of indifference. Men are Indifferent
| about the church-irdifferent about
| the great question OF religion. Then
too our ideals OF reverence have gone
down. This age has been described
as a laughing, mocking, cartoon age
| Many there are who stay away from
Gods house not because they have
anything against God. Christ or the
! church but simply through a spirit
| of indifference.
''Tennyson says, Ring out the mar
rowing lust of gold This a com
mercial age. 1t is an age when the
great intellects are giving themselves
! 70 the getting of money But 1 would
remind you that no man can be meas
ured by outward wealth. True wealth
| is within. The love of material
things narrows the vision of human
/ life. Let us then pray that we come
TO see that il is God and spiritual
| things that give to men a large out
| look. Jesus knew we'll what he was
| saying when he commanded men to
Seek first the kingdom of Cod

with the prayer. Ring out the dark
ness of the land, Ring in the Christ
| that is to be-"
