In 1!U the Seattle park commission sent its superintendent and secretary on an inspection trip to about fifteen American cities for the special study of field houses and bath houses. The result of llieir investigation has been embodied in the construction of the Seattle type of field house. These men were greatly Impressed with the diversified facilities provided in the elaborate system of recreation buildings In Chicago. Smaller cities lack the means to provide such luxuri ous Institutions, and It was necessary for Seattle to work out n modified type of building. A practical, eco nomical and serviceable field bouse was planned, which embraces nearly all of the features of the Chicago buildings, and can bo constructed and equipped for ?2r,fW)0. or about one fourth of the cost of the Chlcagu buildings. Four buildings of this type have been constructed In Seattle, and vari ous authorities who have inspected them pronounce them model social ecu ter structures for the nverage city.
