PUBLIC RECREATION'f.%.
By H. Addington Bruce

By H. Addington Bruce s.e'
~ 9TH because of their intrinsic interest
X and because of the helpful hints they
~ proffer to communities still suffering
from dearth of public recreation facilities,
give herewith some gleanings from the 1922
survey of the recreation field made by the
Playground and Recreation Association Of
America: fst
In Hartford Conn, a 100000 building,
intended originally as a public market. was
turned into big indoor playground for the
hundreds of children of that city's East Sfdes
It's use by the children has steadily increased,
doubtless because it contains among sother
things:
Swings, slides, play houses, huge,asand
pile special section known as DOLLS Land"
and a cradle room where little mothers imay
leave their babies while they themselves enjoy
some recreation.
In a crowded st. Louis district the estab-
fishing of a municipal playground was follow.
ed by decrease of IS per cent in the number
of juvenile court cases. xsl;5
In Passaic, N j. the judge of the Juvenile
court has had little to do since the opening OF
a recreation hall for the boys of a crowded
section. The hall is used by some seven hun.
dred boys, sixty-eight basketball teams hay
ing their games in it. -
The recreation department of Reading Pa,
introduced into the hospitals of that city NOV
ing picture exhibitions In some wards the
pictures were thrown on the ceiling so chat
patients unable to sit upright might see them.
Credit for the speedier recovery of many, pa
tients is given to this recreation device..
In Duluth the authorities organized a mu-
nicpal Halloween program So did the au-
thorities of Kenosha, Wis. In both places
there was great decrease of damage dsqe to
Hallowe'e en- pranks.
At Oak Park, ILL.,, the city department. of
recreation organized company of juvenile
actors This company gives plays Saturday
mornings in theater of it's own in theacom-
munity house. gre
And these are only fragmentary glimpses OF
the great and varied progress made in public
recreation in 1922. We find it stated III the
annual report of the Playground and Recrea-
ton Association of America 49,
"In a year when the raising of funds for
civic purposes has been exceedingly difficult
the community recreation movement has held
it own Over $485,000 more was expended
for recreation in 1922 than in 1921. And last
year there were 2,086 workers employed the
year round-an increase of 80 per cent. over
1921.
"Never before has interest in the leisure
time movement been so keen. Never has
there been widespread an appreciation of
its value to the individual the group, and the.
community"
Yet it remains true that the possibilities
and Importance of development through play
are by no means generally appreciated as
they ought to be. Which is why, in my CLEAN
ings today, have selected chief1y'Nems STRESS
ing this aspect of public recreation. @s@s

NO PROMOTION STOCK ISSUED

The Hatfield Oil Company was organized recently
with a capital stock of 100000 for the express purpose
of drilling the Eight Mile Lake Structure, which has
been passed upon by several prominent biologists as an
exceptionally likely structure.
When this company was organized the officers de-
cided that it would be possible to secure a lease upon
the entire 5000 acres in the structure and drill the we'll
so $4,000 shares were set aside to be sold. Ten thousand
tional 10000 shares of the allotment was set aside for
sale.
The officers of the company were determined to
give the stockholders a square deal so no promotion
stock was issued to any officer but each officer bought
his stock the same as any outsider. The intention is to

dispose only Of $4,000 shares and leave the other $4,000
shares in the treasury of the company. This additional
stock belongs to the company and cannot be issued to
any officer or other person except after it's sale has
been authorized and then only upon the payment of
cash into the company treasury.
TO- SURE SHOT
The management of this company does not claim
that this is a sure shot, as only a crooked promoter would
does believe that this is one of the best propositions in
Wyoming and does promise to each stakeholder a run
for his money"
BIOLOGIST SEES BIG DIVIDENDS
A few days since a prominent g~eologist of this sec
ton stated that if this we'll is drilled as cheaply as ex-
pected and oil found, stock in this company will be the
best dividend paying proposition in the state and those
interested will have an Independent income. This be-
lief is also held by each officer in the company.
DRILLING TO START APRIL 1ST.
Present plans contemplate the starting of drilling
operations on April LIST with the weather permitting.
The company owns it's own Standard rig, has a water
supply, and has everything in readiness to start opera
lions the first of next month.
BIOLOGISTS WILL LOCATE WELL
Before actual drilling operations are started it is
the intention of the management to have one of the best
biologists in the country go over the ground and locate
the best place upon which to drill.
STOCK GOING FAST
Stock in the Hatfield Oil Company is going fast
and at the present time approximately 25,OOO shares
have been disposed of. There are only % days between
now and April first so any person who desires a block
of this stock should purchase same Immediately.

AT present time not a person connected with this
company is receiving a cent of salary and at no time
will any salary be paid excepting when the well is being
Hatfield, one of the most experienced drilers in Wyo-
ming, will have active charge of the drilling of this test
we'll and he states that he expects to make a record in
putting down this hole.

HISTORY OF FIELD

The structure upon which the Hatfield Oil Com
pany is to drill was at first definitely located by DR.. R.
c. Pack, Professor Of Geology in the University of Wy
oming, about 1913. In that same year the Laurel Oil
Company drilled there to a total depth Of 28OO feet,
but for various reasons the we'll was finally abandoned.
The hole was found to be too small for profitable work
ing and there were other obstacles which those behind
the venture thought could not be successfully overcome.
In this well oil was actually struck at a depth of 100
feet, but this proved to be a pocket" although at one
time the oil stood 400 feet deep in the we'll.
During the following year Q914) the American Oil
Company made another attempt to drill this ground,
but as was proved later by a more complete survey of
the field and of the dome itself, their location was 'off
structure" and no discovery of oil resulted. Gas was
found in great quantities, with 1900 pounds rock pres
sure, the daily flow being estimated at 20.000,000 feet.
The American Oil Company made another unsuc-
.cessful venture into this field during the following year
which served only to confirm the contention of many
that the site chosen was not located on the structure.
This entire field was about this time plane tabled by a
competent geologist, whose findings have since been
carefully rechecked, with the result that the Hatfield
Oil ompany's officers and stockholders are absolutely
confident that the location selected by them for q new
well is practically certain to show profitable production.

VIZ HAT a terrible state of
w affairs it would be if we
could read each others
minds! 1t is safe to say that if
such were the case most of us
would be afraid to think above
a whisper.
AS an illustration, a case
might be cited that occurred in
Houston. Some months ago
a very charming young lady
came to this city giving exhibit
tons in mind reading, and
proved herself to be marvel
ously gifted in that respect.
She easily read the thoughts
of the audience, finding many
articles hidden by simply hold
ing the hand of the person
secreting them, and read SEN
fences written on little slips of
paper by some at a considerable
distance from her.
A young man in Houston
fell in love with her and mar
ried her after a short court
ship.
They went to housekeeping
and for a time were as happy
as mortals can he.
One evening they were sit
ting on a porch of their resi-
dence holding each others
hands and wrapped in the close
communion of mutual love,
when she suddenly rose and
knocked him down the steps
with large flower pot.
He arose astonished, with a
big bump on his head, and asked
her if it were not too much
trouble, to explain.
"You can't fool me-" she
said with flashing eyes. "You
were thinking of red-headed
girl named Maud with a gold
plug in her front tooth and
light pink waist and black
silk -~ shirt on Rusk avenue,
standing under a cedar bush

it. Now, when you can. get
your mind on something better

rollment of great American
institutions of learning be elimi-
mated because of mental unfit
ness and responsibility?
This belief, expressed before
1900 alumni of the University Of
California by Prof. Charles Mills
Gayley, retiring dean, brought
responses of both acquiescence
and disagreement from large
California colleges.
Professor Gayley's knife-edged
criticism of present student men,
tally and application and curri-
culum procedure included:
/. College life in America has
drifted into a state of innocuous
desuetude.
g. Our system of education Is a
menace to. the educational life of
the Nation.
8. So-called education in Amer
lea has been series of Ring

side" shows.
4. Accredited" institutions an
nually send thousands of persons
to universities who have none of
the qualifications of the student.
5. The present system results
in "glorified primary school
for irresponsible children"
Some of those who gave opin-
ions, based on Professor Gayley's
scathing assertions. declared that
his experience of thirty-five years
of affiliation with the English
department of the university
should make his remarks au-
thoritative. Others expressed the
belief that the savant tends too
strongly towards aristocratic edu-
cation for a select group.
Professor Gayley Is absolutely
right in questioning the wisdom
of the great groups coming to
colleges without any definite end
or aim," DIR. r. F. Van Klein
schmidt, president of the Uni
versity of Southern California,
said.
HE states the TRUTH" continued
DR.. Van Kleinschmidt, land then
very justifiably calls attention to
the very large number who enter
college without any preparation.
Their presence on the campus
brings about the regrettable
necessity of reorganization to fit
the subject to defective capacity
of training
