BALLOU SEEKS
BIGGER SCHOOL
FAIRGROUNDS
Lack of Space Forces Pupils
to Play in Street; Life and
Health Endangered

Pointing out that hundreds OF
District school children are
forced to play in "2-by-4" play
grounds, DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of schools, today
stressed the need for additional
playground space for Washing
ton schools.
At some schools, the super
intendent said, there is barely
enough room for the children to
play a game of tag, while at 9TH
ers, in the more heavily popu-
lated centers of the city, the lack
of playground space endangers
the lives of the children. who are
forced to play in the streets. Dr.
Ballou stated:
"There are some Fairgrounds
where, If you stretch out your
arms, you can touch both sides
of the sO-called play space"
Light, Air Lacking
The lack of space surrounding
the school buildings constitutes
another danger, the school head
stated, in view of the fact that
the proximity of buildings on
each side of the schools cuts off
light and air.
DR.. Ballou pointed out four
schools where the playground
space is especially inadequate
These, he said, are the Taylor
Seventh and G Sts. N. E.: Hilton
Sixth and B SITS. N. E.; Logan
Third and G SITS. N. E.: AND
Pierce, Twelfth and 1 SITS. N. E
Play in Streets
At schools where the play space
is particularly small, the streets
are roped off for play space and
traffic is rerouted.
In many cases, however, chill
dren run beyond the confines OF
their so-called playground" and
this, according to school officials
is one of the greatest dangers
growing out Of inadequate play
grounds.
