er NRA National Recreation Association
keeps tab on Americans at play, function
that also is important.
In its report on public recreational facili-
ties in 1036 cities in the United States and
Canada this NRA found that organized recrea-
ton is a big and growing industry. In spite
of pinched local budgets, all publicly supported
play facilities were increased in 1888 over 1882.
Last year there were 7434 outdoor play
grounds compared with $500 in 1882. Base
ball diamonds increased from 4,161 to 4,224,
and playground diamonds from 4,759 to 5,572.
Bathing beaches increased from 472 to $50,
tennis courts, 8267 to 1921, ice-skating Kinks
from 1.659 to LAO. Nearly 100000 in federal
funds were spent on play in 1888, a total for
recreational facilities of S27,OO0000
AS hours of labor shrink more and more
public dollars will be spent ON recreation. Labor
saving machines are making us over mentally
and physically. We are finding that playing
sometimes is as virtuous as working.

ground for north side children. Now it's up

the North Side Federation of Clubs appeared
before the board yesterday, pointed out that
property between Illinois and Meridian streets
and extending from Thirty-eighth street to
Fortieth street might be obtained for play
ground use through conferences with the
owners of the land.
One of the owners is known as a gentle
man of intense civic pride and who often has
lent support to civic undertakings
