1t Is interesting, In view of the pres.
ent movement, to recall the fight that
was made several years ago by some
Of the citizens Of Oyster Bay for
park-a fight that resulted In failure,
but which aroused the interest Of Col
onel Roosevelt, who did what he could
at that time to arouse the enthusiasm
Of his fellow townsmen over the
project.
"For years the townspeople declined
to take any action to secure the just
rights which few of them had in
frequently enjoyed" wrote Colonel
Roosevelt during the winter Of 1918 in
describing this unsuccessful battle for
the park: 'srhen the selfish miscon-
duct Of one or two property owners
who sought to deny all proper access
to their beaches reused a feeling which
manifested itself In foolish and vic
ious effort-at one time mob effort
to destroy the docks and thereby pre-
vent the property owners Of access to
their sailboats. The motive seemed
to be less to secure their own rights
| than to interfere with those Of whom
they We're jealous. Recourse to the
law finally settled the right Of the
property owners to their docks and
their duty to keep openings in the
docks so that the clammers and the
rare wayfarers along the beach would

CHILDREN POETS.

Il want to tell you Story this eve

a big city where they do some very
interesting and unusual things. And
want to tell you both about them.
Nick and Nancy, and let your friends
hear about them, too.
Il told you once of how they make
n game out Of learning to be mannerly
aud of what fun they have acting the
rude and the polite parts.
But this time l want to tell Won
something of the poetry they write.
Yes, real poetry. People often write
poetry of children and about them. but
it is not often that children them
selves write poetry except in prize
competitions.
But they do write it here, and they
have lots of fun doing it.
This school is public school and
the principal there likes every one of
the three thousand children who come
each day to the school! More than
that, he is devoted to them, so he
thinks Of all the things he can to make
the school life more interesting and
entertaining and better.
Every year the children get out q
book which they write themselves,
print themselves, and make the front
page illustration and the decorations
themselves. They have a print shop
in the school, where not only do they
print this book, but they do all the
school printing as well.
"These books, however, are a collec-
ton of the best poems written by the
children during the year.
There is great competition, for
there are three thousand children as
l said before in the school,"
What does competition mean, Dad.

''They write poetry Of all sorts o
things, Of things they see, of visit

''Some of them write fairy poetry
and little plays and acts and sucl
things in poetry, and then at time
they act these out and dress up in tn

Litchfield:
ION the axis of the main approach,
standing out in firm silhouette against
the background of the bay and the dis
tant hills of Center Island, should be
a great flagpole with a monumental
base, which will be forever reminiscent
Of the colonel's intense love for the
American flag. At the end of the la
COON there should be fountain, and
beyond it long approach from the
west between thickly planted native
American shrubs and low-growing
trees; laurel, wild honeysuckle, dog
wood, beech and ash forming dense
dark foliage in contrast to the gravel
walks, the reflection of the sky in the
lagoon and the bright deep blue Of the
bay ITSELF"
IS has also been suggested to the
Roosevelt Memorial association that
as elms are the most beautiful trees
for the park it would be an excellent
idea to call upon the farmers Of Long
Island and Connecticut to donate spec
linen elm trees to the association.
The site Of the proposed park is Of
great natural beauty. The ensemble
effect would be somewhat similar to
the beautiful park at Versailles, where
the peace conference was held, but it
will be typically American in spirit and
conception. There will be no attempt
on the part Of the architect to initiate
the Versailles scheme. The proposed
lagoon will look like diamond set in
green jade, and, through fringe of
elm trees the spectator will get a
glimpse of the Roosevelt forum. Over
all will wave the Stars and Stripes
that the colonel loved so well. In ev.
cry way the aim will be to suggest the
virile personality of the man who was

grave problems affecting the
future Of this country, is one of the
features of the proposed park at Oys-
ter Bay. The plans already have been
approved by the Roosevelt Memorial
association.
Electus D. Litchfeld, architect, who
designed the monument to President
Mckinley at Columbus, Ohio, and who
has executed other important COM
missions, has been engaged by the
Roosevelt Memorial committee at Oys-
ter Bay to carry out these plans for
the memorial park Mr.. Litchfield lives
at Oyster Bay and was neighbor of
Colonel Roosevelt. Therefore he is ia
miliar with the park site.
Mr. Litchfield thinks forum such
as has been suggested for the park
would have met with the appreciation
of the colonel himself, says the New
York Sun. Members Of the Roosevelt
Memorial association also feel that

| full in our national life in carrying out
In a useful and vital way the ideals
and teachings Of Theodore Roosevelt.

says Mr. Litchfield in describing his
plans for the park, ''there would be a
rostrum, having it's west front built
somewhat in the form Of a Greek the

may be seated the performers at open
air concerts for the people. Within
its walls l had hoped there might be
reception room and small hall,
somewhat in the nature Of a supreme
court room in the capitol at Washing

time to time once every two or three
