WHAT LEADERS SAY OF
PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT

"A good recreational policy aims
not at developing parks and play
grounds. but at developing people

lots, chase the grouchy citizen to
his lair, and say come out and

What the playground movement
aims at more particularly Is per-
sonality The apparatus merely
cannot make IL successful. The
character of the child must be de-
veloped Dy the leaders in the play
hour just as the teacher In the
school develops his character dur

for the South of the National Play

Acknowledging the old adage that
"All work and no play makes Jack
dull boy" Birmingham has taken a
"tip" from the National Playground as
sociation and decided that IL she can
make provision there will be no excuse
for anybody in this big city to be-dul1.
Everybody has been interested in the
grounds in and about Birmingham.
1t is an innovation that is significant
of modernity and its methods to pro-
vide for those in the great, overheated,
overcrowded cities. to arrange places
not only where people can merely go
and sit in the parks and swing until
''the old cat dies but take exercise,
scientifically and properly under trained
leaders, the body and the mind, and
forget dull care and all of its stupid
accompaniments
Particularly fortunate is Birmingham
| in having Mr.. Thomas Slator Settle,
secretary for the south of the National
Playground association, to come here,
making this city his headquarters and
giving his personal attention to the
arrangement and equipment of the
newly opened Fairgrounds.
Mr.. Settle is a young man of splendid
address and unusual magnetism. both
mentally and physically, for the work
he Is doing.
A graduate of the University of Vir-
ginia, a man of fine intellect. excel
lent training and wide experience, he
has handled the situation in the most
creditable manner. and he has put Bir-
mingham on the map in the playground
geography, and it bids fair to make
as fine showing in this line as any
other city in America.
Birmingham is an ideal place for
beautiful Fairgrounds" said Mr.. Set
| tie as we chatted about the movement
| which Is practically in its incipiency.
| "Georgraphically nothing is left to be
desired, and there Is no reason why
the Birmingham Playground associa-
ton shouldn't make the most attrac-
| tive Fairgrounds in the south out OF
| the material offered"
Tell me how you became affiliated
with the National Playground associa-
ton, and what prompted your inter-
est In such a movements" inquired.

outdoor sports. Even as a boy I was

citation; ]. d. Faucette of Bristol, Va;
C. W. Bartleson of Jacksonville; ]. ID.
Barker of Jacksonville: S. W. Lee of
Birmingham. The letter about Mr.. Lee
of this city was considered trivial as it
was only shown that he was a MEM
ber of the free deal'' committee of the
association besides director. The court
indicated that this would not be suf-
ficient to hold Mr. Lee and he was prac-
tically absolved from the charge of
contempt Others We're Il. f. Adams, ].

| tion alleged to be in violation of the
decree handed down in 1911.

Equal RIGHTS FOR ALL

Miss Frances Anderson, at the Wo-
mans Club in this city Saturday, very
clearly and convincingly presented the
claims OF the women to the right to
vote.
II is more than likely that all the
states, in the next twenty years, viii
give the women the right to vote.
They now have full suffrage in some
states and partial suffrage in many.
An attempt will be made to pass a
measure at the next meeting of the
Legislature to submit a suffrage amend
ment to the people Of Florida at the
next general election
The Star looks forward to the inno-
walton with equanimfty. It thinks that
women should have the same legal
rights that men have, and it sees no
good reason why they shouldn't. II
doesn't expect female suffrage to make
any great changes in public policy
Women are as diverse in their ideas
as men, and will not vote with any
more solidarity The world is slowly
waking up to the knowledge that equal
rights to all is equal welfare to all
Women may vote more on impulse
than men, and men are likely to vote
more selfishly than women, but there
are enough impulsive men and selfish
women to keep the political equili-
brium from being upset.

TEMPERANCE SUNDAY AT
THE METHODIST CHURCH

Yesterday morning the congregation
and visitors at the Methodist church
listened to some vocal music and pull
pit oratory of the highest order. The
singer was Prof. A. NJ. Thatcher, a
singing evangelist, travelling in be-
half of the Anti-Saloon League, and
those who heard him and are music
ians themselves, declared him to be
the finest baritone singer that ever
came to this city. He rendered two
solos in superb style, one of which, his
own composition was especially fine.
Somebody voted to ruin my boy,
Somebody voted my home to destroy
Was that somebody you"
The speaker was the Rev. c. w
Crooke, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League. He commenced
his discourse by declaring that the
people of the whole United States had
their eyes on the state of Florida, be-
cause Florida today is both the wet
test and the dryest state in the Union;
that in the whole state there are 355
saloons-not as many as in some good
sized cities of the north-but in the
city of Jacksonville there were no less
than 40 saloons, and that the stencil
arising from the scores of whisky mills
on Bay street would compel man
with acute olefactory nerves to walk
in the middle of the street and even at
that he would needs hold his handker-
chief to his nose. He said that the
southern people were taking the lead
in trying to abate the evils arising
from the work of the saloon and that
today there were fewer saloons in the
whole of the southern states than was
to be found in the city of Chicago. OF
the eleven wet counties in this state
plans were being laid for holding a
wet or dry election in six, beginning
with Franklin county, where the cleo
ton would be held within a few weeks.
He said that Jacksonville went dry for
few days lately, that was during the
strike of the street car men; that just
as soon as the mayor saw that mob
was gathering he Immediately gave
orders that all saloons be closed, and
that for one day at least that order
was strictly observed, but on the sec
ond and third days the vigilance was
somewhat modified and it became an
easy matter to get in thru the medium
of the back door, but even with the
