On the suggestion of President AL
seinon Il. Sweeney, of the Playground
Commission, at the meeting Of that

teend a public organ recital by DIR.

and 1t Is possible that DR. McFarlane
may be induced to appear herr the
Sunday following.
DR.. McFarlane is director of mu-
nicipal organ reeitals in his home
city, where the concerts have a wide
vogue. At those during the week an
admission of % cents is charged, with
the Sunday recitals free. In this way
they are self-supporting. according to
President Sweeney, who Is advocating
similar idea here. 1t will probably
be next year before it can be estab
lished.
The large attendance at the play
grounds and the relatively small
number of children attending the
public baths were commented upon
after a report was ready by Secre-
tary j. Leonard Mason. 1t was sug-
|
Board of Education for permission
to give short lectures in the schools
/ on hygiene and the benefit TO be de-
rived by the use of the public baths.

and during the afternoon ThanksgiV-
ing Day. It was also suggested that

ing. No action was taken on this
A letter from the Civil Service
Commission was received, stating an
other examination for playground d.
rector would be held in the near
future and that it would be confined
to the residents of Newark. When
the former examination, held last
June failed to furnish an eligible
list, the Civil Service Commission de-
cided to allow any State resident to
compete in the future. They recon
sidered this at the request of the
Playground Commission. The letter
also stated that extra credits would
be given those competing that were
Employed by the commission at the
time of the examination.
