H. Aldrlch, Bid tor of the ICHst Oregonlan read hefore -'i meeting of the Parent-Teacher's KM to. elation Of Pendleton, i Should I'endleton provide public playirruundH for the children and Ope rate them upon a supervised basis? The answer 1h that the eity should do this very thinsr It It wlshea to pur huo a pdley In accord with usafa In the most advanced places, large and mall throughout the United State. The development of supervised city playgrounds, has progresaed wonder fully In recent years and the city that falls to assert Itself upon the subject may Justly bo considered in the hack ward class. In 1B0 less than 20 cities In this country were credited with maintain ing city playgrounds and on some of those the play was not supervised. By 1913 a total of 642 American cities were credited with maintaining piiblio playgroundsithrce hundred and i forty of these cities employing regular paid suissrvlsors while in the remain der of cases the work was directed by volunteer supervisors or caretakers. It is safe to assume that the num I or of cities adopting the Idea has in creased materially since 1913. The benefits of such playgrounds will be chylous to most people and should re quire no detailed explanation. Super vised playgrounds mean wholesome (creation for children, therefore bet ter and healthier children. It safe guards the little ones by keeping them from playing In the streets or j other undesirable places; it lessens tHc anxiety of parents over an other wise preplexlng subject IkiiI Need Apiwut'nt Conditions in Pendleton are such as to make It particularly desirable that public playgrounds be established. The city Is congested. There are almost no vacant lots suitable for playing upon, the tendency Is to provide but QIAI.1TV ssomoR HOW Aboil SANITATION tit The Pendleton Trading Co. is doing something new in the line of advertising. We feel that there Is only one way in which to advertise and advertise right and that is to give the customer some induce ment.

Othor feature that Hhotild encour age efforts at the ..(.option of super vised piayKr'iundH in Tend let on are that the city U prosperous, the civic tone is iroiir8Hive and people are dis posed to favor meritorious moves for the improvement of conditions. If such a move is taken up properly, (sponsored by people who command confidence, and the general Outline of the work Intended is such as to mako good resulLi reasonably certain there should be no quest inn about success. Once tried the plan would be sure of ncftltforltV bermiKe the benefits would he reflected in almopt every home in the city. Supervised community play grounds would be an advertising- at- traction and would further stimulate the tendency on the part of an increas ing number of people to make Pen dleton their home town. The system would be a business asset and t his would offset the small expense that would have to be assumed. Methods of financing community playground vary in different towns. In mam- places the expense Is borne jointly by the school board and the city goveTnrnent. In other places the rvponse is met through subscriptions QT by money otherwise raised through i private efforts. In many ways the ( I plan of meeting the cost from the ( j si hool and city funds Ik preferable. It j i assures permanency and divides the j expense equitably. The writer is of the view that In j ! Pendleton the expcutive work in con- nection with establishing and super- i vising playgrounds should he handled by the city school superintendent as-j sisted perhaps by advisory committees; made, up of interested parents in the I various sections of the city. The super- j visory work should be conducted by: a party or parties specially trained for the work and. they should he j rhoppn upon their professional merits, j It has usually bee-n found a mistake j to employ local people who have not : h;id the requisite training. Necessarily playground facilities j should be provided so as to handle the j neds of all sections of the city. Many are of the belief that there should he : a. playground in the east end of the Uy, one In the west end and one on j tho north side. The school grounds; might be used for the pnrpore but If ip.oJeniiafe they mum ne supplement ed through securing other tract LVe ground is generally advised for playground purposes so as to secure ample room for games. It is advised by professionals that such apparatus as is used be placed along the edges of the tract so as to leave the center of the playground for games. Tho ex penses for playgrounds in Pendleton would not be heavy nor would the supervisory work lint it would be a blunder to attempt the establishment of playgrounds without providing for supervision. I In recent years the city of New York V haM expended 1" million dollars on , playgrounds and Chicago has expend ed the sum of 13 millions In the last I ten years. The work is credited with wonderful results in those cities and in j all other places where playgrounds! have lieen provided. The benefits j would bo proportionate in Pendleton j and the people will gladly bear the small expense that would be necessary, j A lo'esi line of procedure might t be for thl association to ask the; achool board to have a survey of the t on iad bv the city superinten- j dent or by some professional whom j he superintendent might secure for) the purpose. The report made by the j itfvestigator would provide a basis upon which to work. (Since the meeting mentioned above j was held steps towards securing a! survey of conditions in Pendleton have ! been taken and the matter is nosv In; the hands of a committee representing , the parent-Teachers Associations, the Woman's Club and the City Interests committeeenf the Pendleton Commer cial Association.)
