''Safe: Keep Off,

THE Board of Education IS disturbed over COIL
i plants about children playing on public school
plavgrounds after school hours.
The complaints originate among persons living near
the Fairgrounds who are annoyed at the conduct OF
the children, who play without supervision.
Maybe both the annoyance and complaints are
justified.
BUT THERE WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT MORE
JUSTIFICATION IN A DEMAND BY THE PEOPLE
OF WASHINGTON THAT ALL AVAILABLE PLAY
SPACE BE TURNED OVER TO ANY OF THE Chill
DREN OF THE CITY AT ANY TIME THEY MIGHT
BE ABLE TO USE 1T.
Consideration is now being given to posting mo
Trespassing' signs on the school Fairgrounds and of
ensting the support of the Police Department IN the
effort to keep children off the grounds.
That is an absurdity and we doubt if any policeman
would arrest any youngster who would seek out play
ground for safe playing at the risk of further
disturbing the Board of Education.
And there is no doubt in our mind that any Judge in
the city would Immediately free any youngster who
might happen to be taken up by policeman on any
charge such as playing playground
Washington taxpayers have invested millions of dol
lars in the public school system.
Much of the property thus bought is available for
use only five or six hours day, for only five days in
the week and for only nine months of the year.
Rather than discussing the posting Of "No Trespass
ing" signs on this property would like to have the
Board of Education and other officials discussing the
possibilities of keeping all of these facilities available
to both children and adults for much greater part Of
the time.
The Playground Department of the District has for
years been making efforts to obtain appropriations
with which to purchase additional play space for
children.
It has gathered figures to show that Washington
ranks far from the top in the play space available to
its youngsters
In view of the efforts of the Playground Department
1t seems rather ridiculous that anyone should want to
keep children off play space already owned by the
