of management is one used in the ma
jority of outside cities, although in
few places the city donates enough to
include the, school grounds.
Those who have never visited the
grounds and are unfamiliar with the
ways in which the children spend the
hours there, naturally suppose that
different kinds of play make up the
days entire program. Play, 1t is true,
is the principal object of these recrea-
tion centers. but a generous share of
the time Is given over to the lighter
forms of work. The hours for assem-
bling are in the morning from to ~
and again in the evening from 5 to Z.
It Is customary on most Of the
grounds to use the morning for in
dustrial work and reserve the games
and easier tasks for the evening. The
little children play most of the time,
yet many of them have followed the
example of the older ones and prefer
to sit in the quiet shade. chatting with
pleasant groups busy with some form
of handiwork. The girls do embroidery,

for the little children have developed
wonderfully and as general rule
there is one ground provided for every
three schools.
In France the interest has not been
so lively and the games played are
light. Play in England Is compulsory
in the public schools, and foot ball
is game to be played whether boy
likes it or not. On the athletic fields
there are always professional coaches
and the training given is complete in
every detail. 1t is characteristic of
English sports that at the large uni
versities nearly every student takes
part in the athletic work. In our own
country only a small percentage is
on the. athletic teams, but
there they include nearly every stu
dent. The Fairgrounds in the crowded
sections of London are built on the
roofs of the schools. but in the more
roomy localities the spaces are large

and comfortable. No one Is In direct
charge and the grounds are kept open
until dark.
New York has patterned some play
grounds after the roof gardens Of Lon
don. They are inclosed with wire
screens and when kept open at night
are lighted by electricity. On account
OF the altitude, they afford relief from
the heat of the streets and are largely
attended both by children and parents.
Teachers are In charge Of the games,
and band concerts and dancing are
sometimes added features. These roof
gardens are more on the order OF social
centers than regular Fairgrounds.
The good effects Of the playground
system on the children have been ex-
parents in Washington. Cleanliness,
politeness. gentleness and respect for
each others rights are but few OF
the traits developed. The physical
benefit derived is obvious. Nothing has
. done more to combat disease than
rightful living and healthful recreation.

class held on the agriculture grounds
and at other school yards, where the
children are taught how to plant ana

work appeals particularly to the boys.
as the return Is satisfactory and
substantial one.
The salutary effects of proper play
from a physical and moral standpoint
have been recognized by leading ma
tions since history began. The early
Greeks and Romans paid special atten-
ton to the games and pastimes OF the
young and made them as prominent
part of their training as the STUDIES

countries have made provisions for

the grounds are said to have originated,
play conferences are held each year In
the large cities, and there is a special
publication issued annually devoted ex-
clusively to the interests of recreation.

the vacation term, it has been a
serious problem to provide sub
Is stantial' recreation for the boys
and girls, who are temporarily released
from the duties of their classrooms.
The number Of ball fields and vacant lots
has been reduced materially with the
increase ,of =, population and rapid
growth of business, and as a conse-
ouence the street has in many instances
been the only place left for the chill
dren to spend their idle hours. There
the child is always exposed to grave
physical and moral danger. So far. the
established playground with a super
visor to direct the work and games Of
the young folks has offered the best
solution to this perplexing question

man. In order to get photograph OF
him.
The photographer was sent to Lo-
retto, the little Pennsylvania mountain
town where Schwab spent his boyhood,
and where he has built himself mag

was easy enough to secure Mr.. Schwab's
permission to photograph his residence.
and, in fact. everything that belonged
to him in Loretto except himself and
Mrs. Schwab.
The steel magnate was pleasant
enough about it, but exceedingly firm
in his refusal. In the hope of catching
him unawares, the photographer loafed
about the town for a couple of days.
but he turned the tables on the picture
man and left town one morning before
the photographer arose.
Before taking the stage for Cresson,
the nearest railway station. six miles
away, the picture man found out that
Mr. Schwab would return in a weeks
time. Then the photographer went to
Pittsburgh, where some work was
awaiting him.
On the day appointed for Mr.. Schwabs
return to Loretto, the picture man ar
rived in Cresson, and, hiring a trap.

reached the high hill just mile beyond
the village. Here he hitched his horse

looking the hill at nearly its summit.
| 1t was o'clock in the afternoon when
the photographer took up his stand, and
it was two hours later when a splendid
motor car began to ascend the hill.
| The picture man knew this for
Schwab's, because he had seen 1t be-
| fore, and because no one else In that
region owned such a fine car. Slowly
the car came toward the photographer.
and pretty soon he saw who were in it
none other than Mr.. Schwab himself
and Mrs. Schwab.
| For some reason or other they didn't
see the photographer until they were
right under him, and then 1t was too
| late to act. The picture man smiled as

arm full ten seconds after the camera
had clicked Then, as he realized the
futility of it all, he turned toward the

the year 1890, retained lists of the

iron holders and wash rags made with
simpler stitches show the efforts of the
little ones.
: The general equipment of each ground
includes swings, seesaWs, slides, sand
boxes, base balls, tether and volley ball
outfits. In the municipal grounds ten
mis- balls and bathing pools are fur
nished also. The use of this apparatus
is directed by the principal OF the play
ground and her assistant. There is sell
dom any confusion or disorder, even
with large numbers at play, and acct
dents are almost unknown. Ring games
and folk dances are also pleasing fea
ture. The, children, often gather around
their teachers in the intervals between
the games and listen to stories that
have been carefully selected from the
best of child classics.
On a few Fairgrounds collections OF
books from the children's room at the
Public Library are kept for a certain
length of time and circulated. This
has proved popular with folks of all
ages, and in the remote sections of the
city even the high school students visit
the grounds regularly to take advan-
tage of this branch of the work. The
books are selected with the greatest
care, and seldom does child express
desire for a volume that is considered
of low standard. Fairy stories. tales of
adventure and biographies are types
largely in demand.
Since last year coaching schools have
been added to the work Of the play
grounds. These are classes usually
