the 73 cities reviewed in the annual re-
port just issued by the Playground and
Recreation association of America for
its fiscal year ending April 80, 1914.
The association has had its main
offices this last year in New York, dis
trcit offices in Boston, Chicago, San
Francisco, Portland, Ore, Birmingh CHAM,
Ala, and New Britain, Conn.
Jacob Riis who helped found the
association in 1906 was, just before
his death, preparing a series of art1-
cles for the newspapers, telling of the
remarkable development of municipal
play centers Recently Henry P. Da-
vison of the J. P. Morgan company
has become vice president of the asso-
citation and his help has enabled the
association to carry on more work.
Joseph Lee of Boston. who is some
times spoken of as the father OF the
playground movement in America.
gives much of his time to the play
ground cause. Recently to help the
association undertake the work press
ing upon it, he offered to give $4,000
a year to the work if four others
would do the same. He is now trying
to secure the establishment of an
endowment to care for the support Of
the national association.
Jane Adams and DR.. Charles W.
Eliot in letter regarding the associa-
ton have said:
There are few opportunities for
contributing more effectively to the
lessening of Juvenile disease and crime
producing social and industrial eff
cheney and increasing the joy of life.
Twenty Years Work in One.
The field secretaries of the associa-
ton are men and -onlen of the type
of college presidents. The members
of the staff have worked for more than
$1,000 less than they have been Of
fered in other positions in social work
because of their interest in the move
ment. One field secretary who came
to the association after 20 years of ac-
tive public service, states that he has
accomplished more in the last year
with the association than he did in all
the 20 years in his other work.
Thirty years ago Fairgrounds were
almost unthought of, today it has
been proved that almost any city, with
the help of the associations experience
ed field men, can secure not one play
ground but municipal recreation sys-
tenn side by side with the school sys-
tenn And these systems once estab-
lished are likely to go on generation
after generation

employed throughout the year. OF
these SO, the 80 cities in the United
States have a total population of 49,
459,655 including about 66.153.221 chill

not available throughout the year.
For over 21.OOO, 900 of these children
there are not even summer play

NYE FOR MAYOR.
LEE. NOT HAMMOND.

Sec'y Bryan attempted to impress
on his audience at the Auditorium
that because Congressman Hammond
had supported Pres. Wilson, he should
he elected Governor of Minnesota
We believe as DR.. Cyrus Northrup
stated two years ago at the Senator
Clapp Banquet at the Radisson Hotel
"that IL Mr.. Wilson's administration
was a success he should be re-elect-
ed" but it has been DISASTROUS to Ne
proes we cannot help to elect Dem
ocrat Congressman to the highest
state office, simply because ne is .
Democrat" and consistent follower
Of Pres. Wilson. Aside from County
Option, (the scare-crow issue OF this
campaign), which is simply political
argument between Mr.. Lee and Mr.
Hammond; a sort of "Heads win
tails you loose" proposition, or Which
will recommend, sign, or veto SUCH 2
measure?) the main issue should be
Individual Merit. We believe from
the confessions of Mr.. Hammond in
his speeches, that he has had no ex-
perience in State politics. and in vnew
Of his grand party record at Washing
ton. he would have served his stare
better had he attempted to remain IS
the Democratic Representative from
Minnesota with greater assurance
of supporting Mr.. Wilson. All things
being considered, it is our opinion
that Hon. w. E. Lee, Republican, IS
more experienced in state legislation
He bears as clean a record in Mime
sofa as does Mr.. Hammond in Wash
ington, and is better qualified to fil'
B the office of Governor, and ask Tor
your votes for his election.
