Playground Proviso Is Asked. Mr. Warren suggested that general legislation be sought making it com- pulsory for all purchases of land for school buildings to include minimum acreages for playground space. He said the playground shortage in many sec- tions was acute, and there seemed no remedy. Dr. Ballou said school officials often encounter difficulty in purchas- ing enough land to allow the pupils light and alry buildings, to say nothing of the 50 square feet of play space he thought a minimum necessity. “It is our general policy to seek three gnre of ground for an eight-room build- he said, “but if we had only one slte available and that contained 2.90 | acres, the law would prevent us from buying it.” A. H. Gregory .of the Stanton Park Cit- izens' Association, complaining that the furniture in the Peabody School was 50 years old, asked up-to-date equipment. ‘The Lovejoy Parent-Teacher Associa- tion asked a gymnasium-assembly hall for the Lovejoy School and additional | playground space in the northeast.
