Eaton School.

A person whose name was not
revealed will furnish $1,000 toward
the cost Of su-facing the John Eaton
School playground on Macomb street,
between Thirty-fourth and Thirty
fifth streets, it was announced yester-
day by Mrs. Waldron Faulkner of the
Cathedral Heights Cleveland Park

record unanimously lauding the move
by the unrevealed donor. The sum to
be given was not made public at the
time. The cost over $1,000 will be
furnished by the Playground Depart
ment Of the District.
To Urge Supervisors.
The association authorized Mrs.
Faulkner to appear before the Senate
subcommittee on District appropria-
tions to ask for funds to employ super
visors at the playground the entire
year. At present supervisors are
employed only during the months OF
July and August.
Mrs. Faulkner told the association
she will seek enough money to have
both male and female supervisors there
in the afternoon on school days and
the entire day on Saturday during the
school months. In the Summer the
supervisors would be present through
out the day. she said.
Speaking in behalf of the proposed
move to surface the playground, Mrs.
Faulkner said the ground becomes
muddy and entirely unsuitable" for
play during rainy Gather.
III children had adequate play
grounds with supervision, better citi-
zens would be the result" she
declared.
