I PUBLIC PLAYGROUND I
Tho educational department ot tho
Greator Medford club at Its regular
uioutjhly mooting on April 5 dis
cussed thu playground movemont
and tho possibilities lu tho way of
organizing a plnyground tor cur own
children here In .Medford. Tho pro
gram was ot unusual Interest. Mrs.
Gotchcll outlined tho history ot tha
movement,1 stating that tho rapid
progress it had mudo in tho tow
years since its Inauguration is duo
to tho ready appeal which tho Idea
of mi open ground, equipped and
supervised, and sacred to tho sport
mid gaipes ot children, mnkos to
rational fnthors aud tuothers every
where. Miss San too told ot tho
modol playground which she had ob
served at llerkoloy. This Is used un
der direction by tho town children
during tho summer months. Tho
University ot California la unique in
that It offers courses in observation
ot tho playground work for thoso
who nro Interested In this dlreo'ljn.
It is an acknowledgment, moreover,
ot tho fact that thoro la moro aid
moro a call' for traluod supervisor
of play. In Newton Center, In the
suburbs ot Uoaton, thoro is a tyolcal
playgr6und mid community center in
which Miss Catherine Mcars formet
y assisted in tho work with tho girls.
Hor suggestloiiB as to tho equip
ment ot such n ground wero not only
Interesting, but encouraging, lu that
sho pointed put that" only,; mini
mum of Inexpensive apparatus is
necessary for tho start, and much of
It can bo mado by high school boys.
Mils Clark related some of her ex
periences In planning atnusomouta
for sottlomcnt work among tho "poor
whites" In Atlanta.
Miss Fielder closed tho afternoon
program by showing tha children's
attempts, In their short play inter
vals in school, at making "fun" o.it
of oven tho most meager material,
which, as sho argued, goes to prove
tho play Instinct a fundamental one,
Impossible to disregard and c.ipabto
ot higher utilization than Is usually
accorded It.
All who helped with tho program
spoko Informally, with conviction,
and to tho point. We need a play
ground. Why? Can you aoo tho
children Idling on the street afte-
scliool Lours, or dawdling rrstksiiy
about homo through lone; vacation1,
pnd ask why wo need a playground?
Vo need ground; wo .need equip
ment; wo need supervision. Wo
need ground, becauso tho children
like to know there Is some spot all
their own; we need equipment, be
causo apparatus Is tho working ma
terial, demands more complex com
petition, gives varloty and stimulates
tho imagination; nnd we need super
vision for tho play because only with
direction can tho best ends, ohyslrat
and ethical, bo accomplished. What
can wo do about It?
Tho constructive value- of tho play
ground Is tho greater element Id Its
measuring as a factor in lettering
social conditions. As soon as a bay
las turned about three somersaults,
ono backhand spring, and shouted as
