Playgrounds
In this time when young people here in Ash
land- and everywhere else are taking up out door
sports a^uip, we should consider whether our com
munity is doing all it can to develop them through
playgrounds and organized p|ay.
This jpovement H rs bad r wondorfpl develop
ment In New York state alone, there were two
years ago 888 playgrounds and community centers.
Ope phase of the movement Js the effort fpr laws
requiring physical education and 32 states now have
suéh laws.

The need for playgrounds is obvious with mod
ern antompttle traffic. Formerly clpldreR played
( q the s t r e » . Now the streets are no place for
them to play. Baek yards are not much available
ym » ’’ as people dislike to have their turf trodden
over and such groupds are not usually big enough
for organized games.
A playground js not merely R pjacp where
children can play securely, bnt under proper in
struction, it can lie made a place where they leayn
to play games according to rules. The result is that
they will fie likely to oljey the laws of the land when
they grow up.
A well regulated playground is the best an
tidote for the crime wave, Jt is not likely thqt
many of the young bandits who are terrorizing
people on city »streets and lonely roads, ever had
g chanca for training on a gopd playground. If
they had, they would have gained a oonteippt for
yellow conduct. They would have learned that it
la batter to lose a game, than fo show a moan spirit
That lesson would have sent them out into the world

dashes with member of the yellow race are going
to .cause unhealthy mental attitudes among many
people of the western world.
It is a tima to be level-headed under any and
all conditions.
Oorrespondentg are but human.
They uaoonseionsly show their leanings according
to their sympathies. This fact, flavored with Occi
dental prijle and racial distinction, possibly may
make many people understand the true situation.
It is to be hoped that- should the awful eventual
ity arise whereby the United States Great Britain,
or both are drawn into general conflict^ the people
of these nations will keep thgir heads level. War is
bad enough- without inflaimng the minds o f our-
citizens with false stogies of alleged atrocities pf-
tl\e Chinese. No donbt many of the Chinese are
wicked, bad, brutal and revengeful. We know that
some among them are of good intent. Surely the
decades of missionary work have nqt all been in
vainj But it is well known that despite the alleged
depraved acts of German soldiers during the World
War, thousands of Ameriean and British soldiers
will testify to the manliness and even kind treat
ment shown them by the sons of German, sojh 1
There is no greater weapon than the word
atrocity” to incite and keep aflame international
hatred; and this weapon should be used, if pt all,
only when the whole truth and only the truth can
be told. The fate of our nation with reference to
China lies greatly upon the shoulders of the press
correspondents, because thè human element is ever
present. Thpre is no more disturbing element in
all «war psychology” than enmity placed between
brothers of thè earth by blundering falsehood.
l e t the truth be spoken and written no mat
ter who it hits. If there iaan y good in China, we
want to know about it. If there is any delay in pro-
ign lives and property we want to We
if there is any undue activity pr hard-
t a race or nation that is tryiug to find
■ its factional di vici on and lack of unity/
s, we should want to see the strong grin
n stayed until it irfust strike only to pre-
sjrve nnman rights and. national honor.
