How will the pupils of Newark and
, surrounding towns spend the hot days
of July and August? Fortunately
some of them will go to the country
or the seashore. Not all will have this
opportunity for rest and play. There
VIII be many stay -at-homes, and
these will be in the majority
10 great many the vacation pc
rlod will mean little short of actual
torture-stuffy rooms, hot pavements,
corner lots, dangerous automobiles
and the thousand and one so-called
vacation features that are only sup
posed to bring delight to the heart of
the small boy and his sister. 1t is to
the little ones who will be forced to
stay at home that the Evening Star
puts the following question:
How would you like to go to one of
the largest amusement parks in New
Jersey any day in the week from 10
a. m. TO p. m. and romp and play
i'll the shade of thousand trees
without any cost whatsoever? Or, if
you are fond of music, how would
you like to hear a different opera
each week throughout the entire
summer as the guest of the Evening
Star?
The Evening Star proposes to fur
nish normal, wholesome plays for
every boy and girl in Newark who
cares to take advantage of the plan.
We are going to work in harmony
with the various playground associa-
tions, the Board of Educa ton, the
Park Commission and all others inter-
ested in children and their happiness.
The plan will be to have every boy and
girl in Newark. or any of the sur
rounding towns, spend the hours be-
tween 10 o'clock in the morning and
o'clock in the evening as the guests
of the Evening Star in an all-summer
outing series at Olympic Park.
Park Owner Cooperntes.
Herman II. A. Schmidt, proprietor
of Olympic Park, has extended to the
school children, through the Evening
Stars outing committee, the freedom
of the big pleasure resort at Iryington
and has promised to give them the
key to the park without let or him
drance in the same way he did last
summer. Mr. Schmidt believes with
us that the boys and girls must have
place to play, and with this in
view, has afforded valuable help in
completing arrangements for the all
summer outing And MIR. Schmidt
seems TO know what boys and girls
like, for he has all sorts of animals,
toboggan slides, picnic groves. roller
coaster, carousal and no end of other
interesting features to make a visit
to the park one long to be remem-
bered
And for the special entertainment
of the Evening Stars little guests -
Schmidt will have several extra fea-
lures, including afternoon band con-
certs, motion-picture plays, and even
an entire opera performance once
week-just for the school children
Education and Play.
One of the biggest treats of the
entire plan will be free admission TO
the new Olympic Park Opera House
every Saturday afternt on on ana af-
ter July II, when the new theatre at
the park will be in operation for the
first time following the close of the
school year. Here the children will
