Municipal playgrounds within easy walking dis tance of every boy and girl in large cit ies was advocated tonight by PresiJent Roosevelt in a letter and by represen-, tative Boutelle of Chicago, E. E. Brown tli.- Playground Association of Amor lea in Chicago In Juno Is sure to In crease this Interest. 1 trust that all of your larger tintnlolpalltlos will sen 1 representatives U) this exhibition to gain inspiration from this uniting and to see the magnificent system that Chicago has erected In tV'lr south park section. o::e of the most notable civic achievements of any American city, 1 'The new npreclatlon of the value of play in the development of children I is shown in many ways. The high i school Athletic League of New York I has organized athletics along sane and helpful lines for thousands of school children, and a number of others seem j to bo able to take this movement. In I Germany a large number of games have j been put into the school course as a I part of the school system. In England i football and cricket have been a part 1 of the school course at Eton, Rugby. and most of the other preparatory ; schools for many years. In rrlvate ' schools of this country, such as Law- reneeville. Groton. and St. Pauls, play !s also provided for the curriculum. United States Commissioner of Educa- j 1 h that a11 of our choo,s w'" Pr0' tion; Henry S. Carlls, superintendent of Washington playgrounds and other speakers at a "Playgrounds banquet" given under the auspices of the Wash ington Playgrounds Association. Boutelle explained the object of his bill now pending in Congress. President Rossevelt In a letter ad dressed to Cuno H. Randolph, presi- vide the place and time for the recre ation as well as the study of children. "Play is almost the only method of 1 1 hyMml development for our children and we must provide facilities for them if we would have the children strong j and law abiding. If we don't allow S children to work we must provide : some other place than the streets for ! their leisure time. If we are to re- rtptit of tie V-fr'nctoi Fl irai. vr !s , . 4w ' au.rr the parents to rear the children Association, strongly commends the v , , , m 'of the country for the service of the renewed Interest in playgrounds . throughout the country. He ad vocated municipal provision for playgrounds,, "For every chill as much as schools." these to be with- - . dareer. because most good games are in easy walking distance of every boy u 6 .... , , j v against the law, because they are too and girl and properly supervised by s" the cities. He urged cities to secure the available play vigorous games nouia state, the state should make the edu- ' cation as pleasant as possible, i "City streets are unsatisfactory play grounds for children because of the hot In summer, because in le grounds at once, in order of the tlty they ar apt i. n-essitv o: Liter .Vn,c,t-be 9chools of crime- ChllJren w ishing blocks of buildings to se:J.j such space, and he particularly com mended the plan of ground develop ment in this city as tending toward making the nation better. I 'i.ive i - ' -.it ' ure," s.t a the letter, "the gool work which your association nas done in promotirg playgrounds for the national capitol. I trust that the bill of Representative Boutwell will go through so you may be able to secure sites in the various quarters of the cities while open spaces exist and before the price upon them becomes prohibitive. The plan of playgrounds development for the Dis trict of Columbia has been so carefully drawn that I hope it may be carried out substantially as planned. I re gard this as one of the most impor tant steps toward making Washington the model city which we all feel that the capitol should be. "I take pleasure that there is Inter est in play and playgrounds all over the country. The annual meeting of UCANBEZ crowded to ho ' would I have places set aside for them; and since i lay is fundamental need, playgrounds should be provided for every child as much as schools. Thl3 nvans that they may be distributed over the cities in such a way as to be within walking distance of every boy and girl, as most children cannot afford to pay street car fare. Even these facts cited should secure available space at once, so they may not need to demolish buildings to make play grounds as New York has had to do at a cost of nearly Jl.000,000 an acre. "Neither must anv city believe that simply to' furnish open spaces will se cure the best results. There must be supervision on these playgrounds, otherwise the older and stronger chil dren oecupy them to the exclusion of the younger and weaker ones; they are apt to get into possession of gangs; the exercise and play is less system atic find rigorous when without super vision; and moreover, in all cities where the experiment has been tried it has been found that such play grounds are not well attended."
