Nine from this city went to Hartford Monday morning for the hearing be- fore the tuberculosis commission on the desire to change the site of the sanatorium in this county from the Post place to a site which will not intertere with the growth of the city. All threc members of the commission received them, ‘the hearing lasting about an hour. The resolution adopted by the board of trade was read was read, and the commission recelved them very cour- teously and seemed inclined to do all in their power to help Norwich out of the situation. The commission was told tha: Norwich appreciates what they have done for it, but wanted them to see if another site could not be selected in this victnity. They have seen three or four sites here, but there were others which they’ were not familiar with and thy are to come Thursday to see them with the buard of trade committee. The comnussion could give no assurance of a change, but those who were present scemed satisfled with: the progress made. Monday evening's Hartford Times had the following account of the hear- ing: This forenbon a delegation from the Board of Trade of Norwich and a num- ber. of other citizens from that city were - given a hearing by the - state tuberculosis. commission on_the objec- tion /which is. entertained in Nerwich to the locating of ‘the New London dounty home for' the treatment of tubgrculosis oh the site of the Post farm in the city of Norwich, and ‘Which has' been purchased by the commission. The delegation informed the commission that there is an alter- native site available which would an- swer -the purpose of the commission Jlist as well as the Post farm site and invited the commiséion to go to Nor- wich to inspect it. The invitation was accepted and the members of the com- mission will go to Norwich on Thurs- day, where they will meet the Citizens interested in the matter in the Waure- &an house at 11 o'cloc] The Delsgation. The delegation’ from Norwich con- sisted of J. D. Young, John Eccles, L. O. Smith and E. A. Tracy, representing the Norwich Board of Trade, and Dr. James J. Don- ohue, Grosvenor Ely, Willis Austin and Charles D. Noyes. Mr. Haviland, who 18 the president of the Norwich Hoard of Trade, conducted the hearing on the part of the visitors. He said the peo- ple of Norwich had no antagonism to the commission and that it was gener- ally recognized that did the best thing possible for the state when it bought the Post farm for a site for the tuberculosis home. The Board of Trade of Norwich would be glad if some arrangements could be made by which the commission would abandon the site which they have bought for another location. Will Retard City's Growth. Mr. Tracy sald the people of Norwich have absolute confidence in the tuber- culosig commission -and they admitted | thet the Post farm made an ideal site for the institution. The only reason for objecting to the locating of the institution on the site is that it will Haviland, William B. | | the commission | retard the growth of the city. The people of Norwich thought a great deal of the Thames river and he predicted that the time would come when the banks of the river from Norwich to ew London will be dotted with man- ufacturing hamlets. Prevents $50,000 Residence. Mr. Young stated that a gentleman had bought & property adjacent to the Post farm and had plans drawn for a $50,000 house to be built on it. When the gentleman learned that the tuber- culosig institution was to be erected near him he abandoned his intention to build his house. The gentleman had two other friends who had intended to build homes equally as costly. If the location could be changed these Houses would be built and Nor- wich benefited. It was entirely a busi- ness proposition on the part of the people of Norwich. In reply to Dr. Knight, Mr. Young said they could not ask the commission to give up the Post farm site unless they were provided with a site that was equally as good. The gentlemen who intended to build the valuable houses bought the prop- erty before the state had selected the Post property. Dr. Donohue thought the site a good one, but said there is a pronounced opinion that it stood on the line of the growth of the city. Friendly Action. Mr. Smith said the action of the Board of Trade was taken in a friendly spirit. Norwich is under obligations to the tuberculosis commission. 1If the. commission can find another location equally as good the people of Norwich would appreciate it very much if there was a change made In the site. Tt was only on Sunday that he heard a gentleman say that there was no better-authority on the subject of tu. berculosis that Dr. Maher, a member ol the commission. He cailed attention to action taken by the Norwich Central Labor union on the matter and to the fact that it is in harmony with the course taken by the Board of Trade. He asked that the matter be held in | abeyance, Mr. Young, in reply to the question of Dr. Knight, described the proposed alternative site in Norwich which, he said, is in the form of an amphitheater. There are 40 acres of land susceptible of great development. It was about one-elghth of a mile from city water and from the trolley cars. It was from 100 to 300 feet higher than the Post farm site, Change Without Cost. At the request of Mr. Young, who saiil the publication of the name of the owner of the property might interfere with the plans of the interested parties in securing an option, the Times re- | frains from printing the name which was given to the commissioners. Mr. Austin made an offer to the commission in behalf of the people of Norwich to change the site without any Cost to -the commission. Mr. Noyes also spoke in support of the position of the Board of Trade. Dr. Maher agked a number of ques- tions as to the peculier advantages of | the proposed alternative site. Dr. Knight said the comm could not take action until t looked the ground over. oners had OPPOSED TO CUT IN SHOTGUN TARIFF. Treasurer M. C. Mason of Hopkins & Allen Arms Gompany Before Com- mittes in Washington. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, Feb. 26—M. C. Mason of Norwich and W. A. King of Meriden were before the finance committee of the senate Baturday protesting against the cut in the tariff rate on shotguns. 1t is claimed that there is more than 35 per cent. of difference in the cost of manufacture at home and abroad and that if the reduction recommended in the’ Underwood bill should become a law 75 per cent, of the manufacturers | in the United States would go out of business. Thomas Hunter of Fuiton, N. Y., was the principal speaker before the com- mittee on behalf of the gun manufac- turers. He sald he represented 75 pef cent. of the manufacturers in this country. The cheap labor abroad was what made it possible for the foreign maker to undersell the domestic pro- duct, he said. Want Memerial to Indians. Among the petitions filed in the house of representatives by members of the Connecticut delegation was one by Mr. Tilson, the petition of the citi- zens of Norwich favoring the passage of the house bill providing for the erection of a memorial to the Ameri- can Indians. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Good Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. In the vaudeville at the Auditorium the pleasing bill for the first half of the week opened on Monday with Joyce & Donnelly in a pretty singing, danc- ing and talking act that works along the line of the mutual attractiveness between the country boy and the city giMl, and the musical offerings of the duo bring out a nice hand for each of the pair. One of the real funny ones in the comedy line is Max Fehrman in his eccentric 0ddity called The Janitor He puts over a line of side-splitting monologue which keeps. the house with him all the way and makes all his time on the boards worth While. Instead of Phil Ott and Nettle Nel- son in a sketch, three young men known as The Star Trio are substi- ted, presenting a combination mu- sical turn that brings in plano, violin and voices. The violin numbers are particularly enjoved as the best in the turn with offerings in the piano and vocal line by the other two members of the troupe. There is both entertainment and_instruction in the motion pictures which are shown in good variety of subjects. Case Will Be Dropped. In the United States court at New Haven today the case against F. E. Barker of New London will be drop- pad from the docket by order of Judge Platt. Barker was a national bank officer in New London. He was ar- raigned in the February, 1911, term of the United States court and he pleaded guilty to micappropriating funds of the bank and judgment In the case was ssupended for a_year. It was expected he would be pardoned by President Taft. Mr. Barker died in September. S U " — EZO FOR FOOT MiSERY.

Officers Make Their Report and Are Re-elected for the Ensuing Year— Why Playgrounds Are Needed. In the Board of Trade rooms Mon- day evening the Norwich Playground association held its annual meeting, the reports presented . reviewing the first se&son of work by the assocation. President J. B. Stanton conducted the meeting, which had before it as the chief business the reception of the re- ports of the officers and the annual election. After the reports had been present- ed, the officers were all re-elected as follows: President, John B. Stanton: vice presidents, Gilbert 8. Raymond and T. C. Murphy; secretary, Arthur L. Peale;. treasurer, John M. Lee. Secretary’s Report. The report by Secretary Peale was first presented. He described in gen- eral the work of the association in pro- viding sand boxes and swings in nine different localities during the summer season, with partial supervision, as far as the funds allowed, and that through the winter work in furnishing skating ponds at Fanning's pand and at Stark’s lot thousands had enjoyed this sport. Three public meetings had been held. His report was accepled, as were the others that were presented. Financial Statement, Treasurer Lee made the following financial report up to Jan. 1 this year: Receipts—Membership $153, life mem- (1) $25, sustaining membership $5, contributing membership $32, Board of Trade $560, sale of apparatus $15.50. ments of $226; balance Jan. 1, 0. This was supplemented by the following zince Jan. 1: Receipts from boys for flooding Fanning's $18.30, membership $256, total $299.80; expen- 8 in connection with skat- alance $230.47. Pledged but Ing ponds, not collected in addition to preceding $68. President’'s Convincing Argument. President Stanton in his annual re- port gave a convincing argument of the need and value of playgrounds which was recognized by his hearers with a hearty burst of applause. He spoke as follows The playground and recreation movement is not a fad and it is not an experiment. It has demonstrated its value and has supplied a need. In enumerating the institutions that de- termine the development and charac- ter of our boys and girls ' we have been In the habit of naming the home, the school and the church. Now we must ‘include ‘another factor that must bear its part in this work of education and development, the municipal gov- ernment. Formerly the family and the home_life contributed more largely to the physical and moral development of the children. The changes that have been brought about by our complex city life, with its lack of activities, that provide for physical development of children, have tended to increase nervous strain and to multiply ills and diseases that only Increased phy- sical vigor and robust health can suc- cesafully counteract. The recognition of these facts and the desire to give to the children their birthright of play and conditions fit for normal development have led to the formation of playground soclations and to the establishment of play- grounds in most. of our larger cities. In our own city the work and discus- slon of several organizations was crystalized into the organization of a temporary playgroursd association on June 13, 1911, This association was mdde permanent on June 27, when a conatitution and by-laws were adopt- ea. The hearty and cordial support that has been accorded this new organiza- tion has been very gratifying and en- couraging to its officers, the executive committes and the board of directers. After the formatian of the temporary ociation plans were immediately ‘ormed for the summer's work, as the orders from Ezo Chemicai C2., Roches- ter, N. ¥, season was close at hand, The season’s work was successful, though not ex- tensive, and differing frem what was SDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1912 anticipated. Our next season's work should be more intensive and our ef- s for. his work wil:be made by the.new board of hy We Need Playgrounds. are the children’s birthright. a necessity. Play for the child is Iife at ite best. The child that does |, not play is not enjoying life at I ‘fullest extent. The first essential is a playground... Conditions as they exist in“pur. city and in ties malke it impossible for ‘éach indlvidual- parent to own or to rent land sufficient for & playground, hence arises the need of the public playground. The stroets are unsafe and otherwise unsuitable, whik owners of vacant lots usually object to baving them used as plapgrounds. The need of parks has long been felt. That of playgrounds has been recog- nized more Tecently and their pos: Dilitles are not yet fully understood. During the time of play in the open air the child washes out his lungs, aerates the blood and stores up energy for whatever work awaits him. He increases his power to. resist disease. The child who plays freely and active- Iy is in better condition for study and work. He accomplishes more at both these than does the boy who does not care for play. The child who does not care for play usually makes slower progress in school than Goes his more active companion. The “repeater: school are usually non-players. reduced to dollars and. cents means that play makes the work of education easier, hakes it possible to increase the output of our schools, and increases the efficiency of the individual. Play increases happiness, the spirit of good will is engendered. This in it- | self {s no unimportant consideration. whether we look at it.from the stand- point of educational advancement, per- | gonal interest or civic betterment. ot only does the han-- child get | more out of life and give more to his | companions, but also he gets more from his education and increases his efficiency as a man, - The longer the child or the man keeps hold of the spirit of play, the more he adds to his | own enjoyment of life and contributes to the sum total of human happines: The spirit of good - will ~engendered | through play will stand for the com- | mon good rather than for selfish inter- ests when as boys and girls of a larger growth they play the game of life. The problem of the training and de- velopment of children is not easy of solution. It has many sides. Luther Burbank_writes about “Training the Human Plant” Another takes for his subject “Can Our Boys Withstand Civ- ilization?” An_assistant superinten- dent of schools in New York city says “In order to insure a race physically able to receive our free.education we must provide free meals.” It 1s a question of physical fitness and how to secure it. How to make the human machine fit for its work, how to keep it fit, how to develop the | greatest energy, and how to secure the | greatest capacity for work. Playgrounds are helping - to solve these problems. Children at play in the open air and sunshine are storing up energy and are developing power for future usefulness. At play with others a sense of moral obligation is developed. The spirit of fair play engendered, which must make for clvi betterment by helping to “square deal” for the business and girle. operation, The boys the team pla: to win the game teaches effectively lessons of life. Lessons that insure sicces The practice of which made the winning of the Thermos game possible. Spread the spirit of good will on the plaground and it will be easler to win the game on the street. { The more our children play together the more they will work together. If they learn to play hard and to play fair, they will be ready to work hard and'to work square. If they learn the moral lessons of the playgrourd they will practice them In the great game | and_will be less ingluned to foul or shirk. In my mind I see in the future, not established all at once, but little by little, as the means at our command will allow, three well developed play grounds, one on the site of Comsto pond, one on the Weat Side and one in Greeneville. Is it necessary? Yes, if we consid- the future. The welfare of the home, the community and the nation de- mands_strong, sturdy, robust, intelli- gent citizenship. The children who do not know how to play must be taught, those who play but little must be en- couraged to play more, and those who play much must be guided in their a tivities. In this way we may gain a community of interest that will make for the improvement of existing social conditions. Is this worth while? To work to make our boys and girls fit to eufoy | living? To work to make them fit to do their share of the world's work? | To work to make them have enough to | ‘meet their moral obligations? to meke them enjoying this? it i This is the work of our association, and to support this work we solicit the co-operation of all our fellow citizens.
