Many Cities Active.

Six hundred and forty-two cities re-
port themselves in various stages OF
activity. Or these, 342 have regular
paid play leaders in their Fairgrounds
and recreation centers; % have vol
unteer leaders and SO no play leaders.
One hundred and forty-nine school
play grounds, often supervised by pub
lie school teachers at recess or after
school, are reported. Seventy cities
that never before had Fairgrounds
have taken initial steps, through ap-
pointing a recreation secretary, form
ing an association or a commission,
securing land on bond issues or re-
questing appropriations. In addition,
thirty-one other cities are working to
establish play centers.

Must Have Leadership.

The Playground and Recreation as
ISOLATION of America stands for play
leadership in playground and recrea-
ton centers. Therefore the 342 cities
reporting regular paid leadership are
the primary interest in the association
year book Many communities report
Fairgrounds one year and none the
next. Almost invariably the explana-
ton is, mo play leadership So the
work rises and falls with changing
fortune, until it is at last established
on the right basis with competent
leadership. Never has a city so started
on it's recreation career fallen back.
The association believes in municipal
support of recreation. Therefore the
342 cities out of the total expenditure
reported $5,7OO,233.S1 its chief pride is
in the III cities where support was
entirely municipal. In lis cities sup
port was both municipal and private,
