The ground would be open morning and after noon during the months of July and August, and for the first year would be planned to accommodate the children between the ages of about and 12 years. these limits being later expanded, if the experiment proved successful. and further equipment being purchased suitable 10 children of other ages. Benches would be provided and the mothers would have place to sit in the open and watch their children at play.
