The equipment con- sist of slide, a three-outfit swing. see-saws. horizontal bar and jungle gym. the last named being a new piece of apparatus which will delight the youngsters.
 The apparatus has all been pur- under $500. the amount the com- mittee voted to expend this year. Sand piles will be added and more apparatus may be installed later.
 The committee hopes to open the playground after July 1. A super visor for the place has not yet been secured.

 Plainyille Pupils Praised
 That the Plainville schools provide educational facilities of high type is shown by the records made by To- cal students who graduated from the grammar school here and made good records in Bristol High school during the past year. Principal H. E. Cottle of Bristol High school has praised them highly. as told in the following announcement made this morning from the office of Superin- tendent of Schools l.. S. Mills:
 "On the evening of June z. 119 pupils were graduated from Bristol High school. C. this group, 2i were from Plainville. or 20 per cent of the class.
 "Of this 119 pupils. IT were honor pupils, and of this list of F honor pupils. the following four pupils. or over 20 per cent. were from Plain vile: Howard Styring Tyler. Charles Emerson Norton, James Samuel Sal omone, and Irene Catherine Stur- mer. This is conclusive proof that Plainville pupils can and do main tain a standing equal to those pre- pared in the Bristol schools. This has been true each year for num- Der of years.
 About three years ago. when the question came up to the Bristol com- mittee as to whether to retain in the Bristol schools more than for one year the class which has just grad uated. Principal H. E. Cottle stated that Plainville pupils were an asset to Bristol High school and that he would be very sorry indeed to part with them.
 While Plainville has been ham, pered in connection with the schools, by reason of over-crowded condi- tions, and while 1t has managed its schools in an economical manner, it has not failed to give its pupils the essentials of a modern education. nor has it failed to give its essen- tials in an efficient and effective manner. Otherwise our pupils could not have maintained their own in competition with those of New Brit ain and Bristol. All our other grad uates have maintained records equal to those of New Britain and Bristol. Whenever pupils move from Plain- vile grades and enter schools in sur- rounding villages and cities. they al-
