The cqui\'alent of the "commons" on "·hirh the older generation~ enjoyed ba. cball and other ganH.·s in their !"ca~()n i ~ gTu\\·ing run~tantly harder to Jlnd. Property, vacant today. is likely to sho,,· signs of building ton1orrow. There is no air of pennanencc to encourage boys to tread out a dia1nond, even if there wer~ no objection po!"tcd to pn·yent trespassing. But children, if they arc to he worth anYthing when they arc- grown beyond chilclhood, nntst have a place and an opportunity to play. It is on the playground where they meet their comrades that they learn 1nany of the essential le~sons of life. where they recciYe that cliscipl inc that prepares therll for experiences sun~ to con1e to them \vhen thev enter the world of men and \\·.o n1en. I~ many of our con1munities \\'e have very well appointed playgrounds connected "·ith the schools. This i~ as it should be, but \\·here there are sections unprovided \vith adequate playground space, the con1n1unity does well to ren1c1nber that opportunities to purchase are growing less every day and that soon it \\·ill he itnpossible to buy at all, so rapidly i , thi district progressing towards the urban character, in its physical appearance, at lea ·t . tncnt.

In 1nidwinter with the mercury hovering around zero, it's a great cpmfort to k~ow that the health authorities have suffictent faith in the return of sumtner to be discussing the mosquito nuisance.
