A SOCIAL INSURANCE.
Playground Movement Means Much,
says National Secretary.

According to Charles Frederick Wei
Ter, associate secretary of the Play
ground and Recreation Association of
America, who spoke at a special Com
mercial club dinner at the noon hour
today, the playground movement in
Topeka should be made to serve as
social insurance. He suggested that
it would be a wise move to bring a
social engineer" to Topeka to map
out a general playground and recrea-
ton plan for the city.
The meeting was attended by one
hundred business men and women who
are interested in the playground work
here. No action was taken in regard
to procuring the services of an ex-
pert, but the question of doing so will
be discussed at a latter date.
Mr. Weller said: THE school plant
in Kansas is worth $23,0OO,O0O and is
used only one hour in nine. 1t would
be economy to get a larger use of it.
Last year two hundred and eighty
five cities in the United States had
supervised Fairgrounds. We only
count those as Fairgrounds for with
out supervision they may be worse
than no pl, yground at all. There
were $500 employed leaders in charge
of these grounds.

they did in former years; they are
