PLAY LEADERS NEEDED

play leaders are placed so as to en-
thuse the children into playing more

them how 10 play and exercise.
These play leaders are experienced
men In the work, some OF them hav-
ing gone to college TO perfect them
selves for this kind OF work or play,
and great results have been achiev-
ed In the time these leaders are at
tho recreation centers. The centers
are better attended, the games are
player better. the children learn GER
tain exercises and games which they
could not without the aid OF an In
structor. and they get more benefit
from their play and exercises.
When the time comes to reopen
the schools In the fall, after the sum-
mer vacation, the play leauets are re-
called--they are taken from their
work at time when they are most
needed, as there are a grec- macy
children who attend schools but who
do not regularly attend the play
grounds. and a person needs a great
deal more recreation. games and ex.
orcises when he is doing a great deal
