WAR HAS BROUGHT OUT
NEED FOR MORE PLAY
Playground and Recreation Book Notes Increased De-
mand For Use of Leisure Time

New York, May 1-While the
general effect of the war upon play
grounds is still an open question,
there is no doubt that this country
has been awakened by the war, to 4
keener sense of the importance OF
recreation ceuters, according to the
1915 Year Book of the Playground
and Recreation Association or
America just issued. The demand
for opportunities to play after work
hours is as widespread as il is en-
couraging. There has been mark
ed increase during the year both in
the CenterS for evening recreation
and the attendance there.
Unquestionably the fact that thir-
ty-five per cent. of the men in the
first draft were rejected as physl-
cally unfit has made Americans
realize how essential is uphulld-
ing exercise and recreation under
the guidance of trained leaders. The
statistics collected after correspond
ence with 100 cities indicate
healthy and steady progress in re-
creation work. The report of the
association shows that more than
ESQ Fairgrounds were open the
year round and evening recreation
work was conducted in more than
roo schools of 101 cities More than
engaged in directing play at re-
creation centers throughout the
country.
For colored children alone more
than 100 Fairgrounds were main
tanned. Three hundred swimming
pools, four hundred public baths
and two hundred public bathing
beaches were used by thousands OF
persons.
The fleet of the war upon play
grounds and recreation was report
ed by 277 cities, 172 OF which give
the result as unfavorable. The de-
crease in attendance is attributed to
the fact that many of the older
children were working in factories.
Moreover it was hard 70 get trained,
competent leaders because of the
number of men who went into the
service of their country and of wom-
en- who engaged in war work. In
many cases, appropriations were cut
down, playground funds were de-
voted to war garden activities
and the Fairgrounds themselves
were used by war agencies.
But 105 cities reported that the
war so far from checking recreation
work. had stimulated it. The at
tendance of small children in
creased. as did that of their elders
at the evening sessions. Appropria-
tions were enlarged and more CEN
tiers established. The number of
cities initiating such work was
smaller than in 1917. being reduced
to twenty, but those cities which
continued the work called for a
greater number of leaders TO con-
duct their greater activities.

failed to do its share in taking up

Cripplcs Do Fine
II all of the people of Harrisburg

$50 bonds. but of bonds in quantity.
The same thing is true of the teach
ers in the Maclay street school. who
actually have stinted themselves for
months to come so that they might
buy bonds.
The indifference of the people OF
the city to the call of the govern
ment that they take up Victory
Bonds is evidenced by the fact that
alst night, when several thou
sand people were gathered at the
corner OF Mulberry and Derry streets
where street dancing was in prog
ress. the Victory Loan salesman who
canvassed the crowd and who plead
ed for subscriptions met with n re-
sponse that would have shamed the
little village of Gratz. There were
hundreds of people dancing. and
additional hundreds on the side
lines watching the dancers. but when
they were asked to buy bonds they
were mot interested" The war is
