USE MT. PHEASANT ST. GROUNDS
Paaygrounds Association Will Move Apparatus From Pearl Street to New Grounds Children in Tears When Teach CTS Announced Closing Pearl StreetSupervisor An nounces Sewing Contest.

Secretary H. M.-Lerou of the town school board sent Secretary Arthur L. Peale of the Playground associa- ton an official letter on Tuesday noti- fying him of the action of the board in closing the Pearl street school yard as a playground and suggesting the opportunity of using the Mt. Pleasant street school yard instead.
 At o'clock in the rooms of the Board of Trade the directors of the Playground association held a meet ing and they decided to take advan- tage of the offer Of the Mt Pleasant street grounds. To that end arrange ments were made to have the appar- the new location this morning, and the latter playground will be used for the remainder of the season. While it is not as conveniently located as the Pearl street grounds. the yard at Mt. Pleasant street school is larger and the sanitation is better there.
 Fairgrounds Closed.
 The Pearl street playgrounds were promptly closed on Tuesday. and the children who came to play showed marked disappointment that this to them pleasant resort had come to an end. It was pathetic to see two little sandbox kids led away crying as If their hearts would break.
 A neighbor says: Under proper su- pervision these quiet, little children might have played there forever with out disturbing anyone. This is a case where the innocent suffer for the con- duct of the inefficient, the headstrong and the unappreciative.

sI think in future if books of any kind are forbidden to playground teachers and they are required to de- vote every moment to the rude children and shut out all who will not mind and insist upon throwing stones, pounding the fence with mallets. and yelling for the sake of hearing their own noise, there would be no complaint against them. This playground, because of lack of strict discipline for the larger children, became a continuous nuis- arce."
 Playground Sewing Contest.
 The sewing contest is open to all the girls of the playgrounds There will be three classes and three prizes for each class. The work will be exhibit ed at the close of the season and the prizes awarded. The girls are urged
