Tardy Appreciation of Parks.
Until comparatively recent years peo
ple have hud a rather narrow Idea of
tbe subject of parks. Some of the large
cities and towns have long possessed
public grounds both extensive and
beautiful, but the tendency was to re
gard them as "nature's parlors" love
ly to look upon, but of course not to be
used. Tbe first Image called up by tbe
word "park" has been that of an array
of little signboards bearing tbe cau
tion "Keep Oft the Grass." Nowadays,
figuratively st least, these little boards
are disappearing. Art Is not losing tbe
public grounds, but tbe people are gain-
I lng them. Tbls began through a be
lated realization of the relation of parks
to public health. The new movement,
not content with letting the people
have the parks, is taking parks to tbe
; people. It Is fashioning numerous
! small breathing spaces throughout tbe
congested parts of the great cltiee. Tbe
I latest phase of the movement Is for
, the sake of tbe children. It is one that
may be seen at work In vacant lots and
i in squalid places, making what no one
! ever heard of until lately playgrounds
for the little children of the poor.
It Is a curious fact that mental
fatigue produces the same result on
muscular activity as is produced by
alcohol. London riertator.

to increase tbe amount to 35 per

Cars of In. Child.
During the past few years the beat
thought of many able men and women
has been given to the care of the child
when away fnxu home, but more espe
cially In providing school gardens end
playgrounds. Muuy of these and simi
lar movements are under wsy In all
parts of our country looking to the
amelioration of conditions and sur
roundings during the hours of study or
recreation. It Is probable that every
one is productive of good reaults, and
collectively they must be most bene
ficial, mure so than we at present may
compute. It Is highly probable tbat
these public moves are also the quick
est, most effective methods of Improv
ing home condition, thereby ralatny
our standard of life along all lines.
