'The new npreclatlon of the value
of play in the development of children
I is shown in many ways. The high

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

I part of the school system. In England
i football and cricket have been a part

and most of the other preparatory

President Rossevelt In a letter ad

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

S children to work we must provide

making the nation better.

the letter, "the gool work which your

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

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."

"Good Goods"are offered at such really "honest" reductions.
"GENERALLY sales are started to get rid of old goods or
when new goods are offered the reductions claimed
are largely imaginary.
"T3 UT, we cannot afford to fool anybody; a residence of .
