It Is very gratifying that those In

tn this connection, as tlie executive
agent of tlie Ontario Hoard of Kilnca
tlon. the author wishes the public t"
konw that those to whom schools are
entrusted for their administration
have given tlie matter very serious
consideration for some time. In my
report to tlie local hoard made las'
spring, there was recommended
syctemollc expenditure of a sufficient
sum to equip the Ontario Schools
Willi adequate playground equipment
At that time that body adopted 'hi
recommendation and authorised an
expenditure of a sum of several bun
died dollars to he divided over a per
iod of four years for the purpose o
building up a system of playground
apparatus for the schools of the city
It was found, however, upon In
vestigation, that, due to the war
prices, playground equipment had
soared in prices until a very unfair
price must be paid for that equip
ment. It was decided to spend the
money appropriated for tlie first year
in putting in a floor for a gymnasium
In the high school building which
was done and which Is being n " I
