TAG DAY.

The children Of today are the criminals
or law abiding citizens Of tomorrow,
Early training and environment has much
to do with shaping their development,
Every child has a lot Of pent up energy
which has TO be given vent to in some
way. The safest way is in wholesome
play. Children who have no other place
to play will play in the streets. That is
why we have Fairgrounds and leaders to
supervise the aciivities-to keep the
youngsters out Of the street.
Last year the proceeds Of tag day for
the benefit Of Fairgrounds did not result
in enough money to pay the salary Of
instructors, but Miss Dorothy Broeffle,
Red Cross nurse, volunteered her services
for one Of the Fairgrounds and donated
SIS for a supervisor for the other.
Saturday another tag day will be held
in Columbia. Present plans are for two
new Fairgrounds, one for Lee School and
one for Grant School. They will be kept
open throughout the vacation time when
school children are most in need Of some
sort of supervised play.
The playground movement is a national
enc that is growing in its scope and i'm
poriance everywhere. Many persons are
every year specializing their education
along lines that will fit them for instruct.
ing and supervising children's play.
Columbia should have two new play.
grounds and should have at least part
time instructors for each. The money
from the tag day Saturday will go entire.
ly to the playground fund. Citizens of
Columbia should consider a contribution
to the fund an investment in the proper
training of their own children.
