GENEVA, Switzerland, March 15— | who have been approximately 620 athletic teams for | transporation. boys and girls of the elementary schools are in process of organization at the 44 playgrounds available to tne chudrcn‘ this season. | The fact that about 7.000 Joung it &chool children will be enrolled in the various squads indicates the plans of | Mrs, Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor of { playgrounds, to carry on the outdoor | activities in the schools on a larger scale than ever before. Special em- phasis will be given this Spring to intra- mural sports in the elementary schools and in line with this phase of her de- partment, Mrs. Rhodes said she was making special efforts to obtain more and larger playgrounds and provide for | additional equipment. These intramural activities will be developed in addition to the regular in- terclass and interschool leagues which have proved such a stimulant to popular inferest in competition among the school children, Of the 44 playgrounds where these sports will be carried on during the season, 14 are school play- grounds, with necessary limitations. Each director who- has a division is visiting the ter- ritory this week to ' confer with the principal and teachers in relation to the playground program. ‘The work with the small childrem in the primary grades will be given full attention, and they will be instructed i all kinds ‘of non-tompetitive games and songfests. Only when the child red¢hes the sixth grade is he permitted to engage in com- petitive sports. Mrs. Rhodes is of the opinion that there should be at least 20 more play- grounds open during the full which, with the 30 already. ayailable, would give the children 50 grounds and ample opportunity to keep “off the crowded streets. “We haven't gone backward in the matter of piayground {acilities,” she said, “but at the same time we haven't gone forward very Tapidly.” schools . in his They took this subject up after de- | Th hen decided that each judge who lives “by normal travel” will be en-' THE EVENING titled to a month's vacation every three | REPORTER BUYS BRIDGE years, It was at this point that they agreed | that travel by air would not be con- STAR, NOW HE MUST MOVE IT sidered “normal” in other words, if | 100,000-Pound Structure Purchased | Charles Evans Hughes, United States | member of the Court, should fly across | the Atlantic in order to reach The | Hague, he would not forfeit his holiday because it took him less than five days to get to Holland from the United States. The jurists decreed that railroads and steamboats are “normal”.in the sense they had in mind. The jurists also decided to increase the number of regular judges of the court from 11 to 15 by doing away with the existing four deputy judgships. This takes place in 1930.
