SOME SUPERVISED PLAYGROUND
(A paper by K. H. Aldrlch, Bid tor
of the ICHst Oregonlan read hefore -'i
meeting of the Parent-Teacher's KM to.

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

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

one entire day's sales receipts.
This means that you are to have a share in the
profits of our business without the investment of a
cent In 'doing this it means a return to the custom
ers of this store at least $500.00 every month or
$6,000 a year. This looks big, but it is for this rea

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

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.)

George F. Treudt here recently,
but George didn't mind it
when he found they had produc
ed several hundred pounds of
honey during their spooky even
ing siestas. '
For more than a year Treudt
and his family had been annoyed
by a peculiar buzzing sound ap
parently coming from the roof of
his house. For a time he blam
ed the noises on electric wires,
but neighbors held to the belief
that the house was haunted.
Finally when Treudt made a
search in the garret, he found
the house had many, many more
inhabitants than Be had imagin
ed. The bees 'had been at work
for months.
