How can the living objectives stated in the pre- amble to the constitution be so in stilled into them that they will con- sciously strive to realize them?
 "These are to me among the most vital of our educational problems. Na- tionaI development depends on their successful solution. They can be pro- excessively solved if America deter mines to do it. Education week is 2 good time to begin work directed to- ward this most significant end"

IS DISTRICT PLAY
CENTERS PLANNED
Mrs. Rhodes Hopes to Open
Fourteen Additional Places
This Spring.
MORE MONEY AVAILABLE
Increased Appropriation Makes
Extension of System Possible.
Local Aid Needed.
MORE MONEY AVAILABLE

The children of Washington will have
fifty-five recreation centers on which to
romp in safety this summer If Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor OF play
grounds, succeeds in her present plans.
With the cooperation of Commits
sioner Oyster, who is keenly interested
in playground development, Mrs Rhodes
hopes to open eleven additional school
yards and three new municipal grounds
this year.
This expansion is made possible by
increased appropriations in the act
which becomes available July l. The
current law carries S35. 600 for mainte-
nance of municipal grounds and $10, 900
for operation Of school grounds by the
Commissioners during the vacation
months.
The new act makes S35,312 availa BILE
for upkeep of municipal grounds and
$4,000 for summer operation of school
grounds
The new appropriation act also au-
thorizes the Commissioners to pur-
chase the ground used by the Hoover
playground and another play site at
eth and q streets.
The playground department is one
of the few municipal agencies which
Congress has directed should be ap-
propriated for entirely by District
taxpayers.
In the new appropriation act the
lawmakers stipulated that $4,000
made available for the purchase of
the two playground sites shall be ap-
propriated on the $3.50 basis.
A total of S1l1.032 made available
for general playground expenses,
however. must be taken wholly from
local tax revenues.
