PLAYGROUND NEWS

Yes. folks. mothers and fathers.
playground time is here. Play
grounds. you know. have done more
than any other single factor to
" holesomely develop the youngsters
of the nation. Originally the back
yard was the playground of the av-

has become so complex. we see that
all the children cannot play with
the facilities they must invent
for themselves. Without play chill

that where adequate recreation is
rigibility Is neglibla. They never be-
come criminal wards of the state.
Aside from sentimental reasons.
therefore, it is simply a good eco

playground and maintain them. And
that Is just what we aim TO do.
Our grounds number four and are
located in accessible parts of the
city. There is n at Hayes Park,
another at No. s school. another at
No. ? school. and still another at
the Vocational school. Thus, most
OF the Juvenile population of our
city is taken care of. The equip

ward the right development of that
rlay instinct: indeed. education is
furthered through that same in
stinct. The inherent tendency to-
wards play is only a part of our
human endowment-why not let
your child give it expression on his
or her playground?

thirty applicants. the six with whom
you are all familiar, were chosen be-
