MARS SHMALLOW ROAST is
HELD AT PLAYGROUND.

One of the most enpoyable affairs
of the week was the marshmallow
roast held yesterday at the play
ground. About $50 were present on
this occasion. The children evinced
the greatest enthusiasm over the
playground equipment which already
has been installed for their amuse-
ment. The greatest fun of all was
the slide" to which the children all
tiocked, and no merry-go-round ever
afforded more amusement than this
jolly exercise.
The sports were held on the lawn
of the playground under the direc-
ton of Miss Wimans, who is teaching
the little folks how thoroughly to en-
Joy life through real and healthy fun.
The grownups enjoyed the afternoon
as much as did the children, as was
exemplified by the number of older
people there. The tennis court has
been land off, and as soon as every
thing is completed, the older young
people may go any time and enjoy
a round of this healthful play. The
other equipment for the playground
IS being rushed into place as rapidly
as possible, and it is hoped soon to
see everything there in full swing.
1t is very gratifying to the soons-
ors of the playground movement that
already 425 names of children have
been enrolled UP to the present time,
and many others are being added.
This afternoon a play festival was
to be held at the playground, the
children placing into action the stor-
les as they were read to them. This
is done to aid children in immediate
Interpretation of ideas as soon as they
are presented. Many enjoyable fea-
lures will be given daily, and chill
dren of Americus are availing them
selves of this opportunity for recrea-
tion and pleasure.
