Principal F. L. Newton read the fol- lowing report of Playground Director A. C. Pease: playgrounds were opened up the Sth of July and were continued through until the 3ist of August. During that time the attendance was as follows: Girls Boys Total st week 679 883 1,562 2nd week 981 1,015 1,996 3rd week 998 1,070 2,068 4th week 812 726 1,338 5th 840 934 1,774 §th 760 830 1,590 7th 751 743 1,494 sth . 790 796 1,586 6,411 6997 13,408 The thirq week had the largest at- tendance and the fourth week the smallest, caused by the circus coming to town. and one or two churches hav- ifg lawn parties. The attendance by districts was as follows: Girls By 1st Greeneville .....1,447 2nd Pearl St. ......1,313 8rd Lake St. ........L111 ith Hobart Ave. .... 813 5th Round Pond ...1,002 6th Falls .......... 753 The total attendance of 13,408 chil- dren who enjoyed the playgrounds speaks very well for their popularity and_usefulness. The children enjoyed the swings and see-saws very much, keeping them going from the time they arrived until they left. At Hobart avenue they had a croquet set which was kept busy all the time. There were two accidents on the playgrounds. One at Lake ~street, the swing breaking when two boys were swinging on it, and one of them breaking his ankle. The other hap- pened at the Falls; a boy falling over the sand box and breaking his thigh. The open lot makes a much better place for the children to play in than the school yard. There isn't the dan- ger of breaking windows, and then they can malke ail the noisé they want to_without 'disturbing people. For mext year, I would suggest more croquet sets, morning and afternoon superviston of the grounds, and if pos- sible getting each teacher to keep the grounds longer. Changing the teacher means that the children have to get used to a new teacher who has differ- ent ways of doing things. If a teacher has a playground only two weeks, she is only just learning what the chil- dren like to do when she leaves, there- fore each teacher ought to have a play- ground at least four, and if possible, eight weeks. 2 Supervisor's Report. Miss McKay, playground supervisor, presented tie following report: Mr. Chairman, Members of the As- soclation: I visited each of the six playgrounds twice a week, visiting two grounds in one afternoon. I always found the children playing games and using the apparatus in an orderly manner. The teachers took part in the games and saw that each child had his turn at the apparatus, being care- ful to prevent accidents. I made out a lst of about 52 games for each playground. These lists in- cluded games played in different for- mations, games played with balls or i business the meeting was adjourned. Wwith the ex West Side most not familiar with these dances and as we had- no music except sSinging it was a little difficult to teach them. I chose the simple ones and ed to toach one at emch visit. 1 found that the boys did not care for the dances except in Greeneville, where they liked them very much. The Virginia reel was their favorite. The girls at Round Pond devoted Some time to sewing and at other playgrounds some. time was given to story telling. ' The bovs at Hobart'avenue enjoyed their croquet set and were always ready to challenge the teacher and me to 2 game. At Lake street the older children |uea fhe rope swings and basketball. The small children on all of the playgrounds enjoyed the baby swings and sand boxes. I think that the past Season was a most successful and en- Joyable one and I hope the coming season will be more so. Year Was Encouraging. We have eyery reason for encour- agement at tifis time, sald President Stanton, on the close of a most suc- cessful year. All those engaged in the playground work took pains to do their best, and the co-operation which has been received from the people of the city speaks wel] for our future werk. He then called for riominations for of- flcers, and the following were unani- mousiy re-elected: President, John B. Stanton; first vice president, Henry F. Parker; second vice president, Mayor T. C. Murphy; secretary, Arthur L. Peale: treasurer, John M. Lee. A vote of thanks was extended the church for the use of the rooms for the evening. As there was no further Stereopticon Talk by President Stan- ton. An_interesting talk on Play and Playgrounds by President Stanton fol- lowed the business session. He told of the various amounts spent for t recreation of the boys and girls in the larger cities, and stated that a total of $100,000,000 'was expended each year for ihat purpcse. Playgrounds of cit- ies all over the country and in Eng- land and Scotland were shown by the stereopticon, the speaker explaining the various commendable features of each. The purpose of this organization, said Mr. Stanton, is body building. We feel the need of attention to the phys- ical welfare of our boys and girls. We often feel that athletics are only for the strong, but class contests are be- ing instituted in which the work of the weak boy Is just as important as that of the strong boy. The Greeks developed a fine type of physical and intellectual manhood. The Greek cared for the strong and perhaps neglected the weak. We are solicitous for the weak, but often forget the normal child, If good food, fresh air and ex- ercise are good for the wealk, then they certainly must be good for' the strong. Good health is the first requisite of good education. The Moral Side. There s a moral side to the play- ground movement. Play is life to the young, and In it they develop their moral sense, a sense of fair play and of the square deal. Good, healthy play teaches the boy not to give up if beat- en, that feilure to win is not defeat. That is what he needs in the game of life, squareness and determination to succeed. Courage, good will, co-opera- tion, self conirol and perservance can be taught the boy and girl on the play- ground. Recreation a Necessity. Recreation is a mnecessity’ not only for the children, but for the grownups. The idea of recreation has a_ strong hold on the people, for a person’s work is usuvally monofonous and tiring, without some diversion The average school boy or girl has a leisure time of 63 hours a week, and during that time his character is going to be developed. Association with the teachers and su- pervisors of the plavground, as well as the other lessons mentioned, will tend towards developing the best kind of character. The home, the school and the church we have always regarded as the institutions wherein the child must be developed, but there is anoth- er institution which must take a part in the work, and that s the municipal- ity. The city must furnish the room for the play of its children. OX TEAM HELPED NEW AUTO ENGINE HOME. “Niagara” Stalled rst Trip Out. After making a-fast trip to Niantic Sunday, in response to a call for as- sistance of the selectmen of that place, the new automoblile engine of the N agara Engine company of New Lon- don met an accident just west of Log- ger Hill on the way back. The ma- chine went into a mud gully, into which it became imbeddeq under its own heavy weight and the weight of about 25 members of the company. In attempting to extricate it by means of its own power, a pin in the crank shaft broke, rendering the machine helpless. An ox team was sent for and attached to the machine, which was pulled out of the mud with some diffi- culty. The machine was hauled over Logger Hill by the oxen and from there it was run to the city under its own power and on low speed. It was the first time the auto enginc has re- sponded to an alarm. PERSPECTIVE OF RELIGION. Topic of Shop Talk by Rev. H. J. Wyokoff at Richmond Radiator Worki The speaker at the shop talk at the plant of the Richmond Radiator com- pany at noon Monday was Rev. H. J. ‘Wyckoft, who took as his subject The Perspective of Religion. My Redeemer and My Lord and One Sweetly Solemn Thought were rendered in a pleasing manner by Miss Elsie D. Brand. Miss Louise Fuller 'was the accompanist. Skating at Mohegan Park. There is good skating again at the small pond in Mohegan park. On Mon- day afternoon and evening there were a number of skaters gliding over the ice, which some of them declared to be the smoothest and best it has been this winter. The snow and rain of Wash- Ington's birthday were just enough to supply a new surface for freezing. Comstock Not a Candidate. According to a Hartford report, the name. of- Charles W.

There seems to be some doubt as to what type of bridge the New Haven road is to erect across the Thames and where it is to be located. All this was provided for nearly four Lyears ago when the railroad company first announced its intention of erect- ing a new bridge across the river, and its’ willingness to give the old bridge to the state. In order to secure the approval of the war department to the erection of a new bridge it was necessary for the New Haven road to flle a plan of the proposed new bridge and its location. This was done about four years ago and approval of the war department to the plans was obtained. So also was the consent of the Connecticut legislature secured at the same time by the passage of a bill, in which the plans of the company were outlined. Interviewed Mellen. A committee of the New London Business Men's association in March, 1909, saw President Mellen and other officials of the New Haven road and discussed the proposition of securing the present raiiroad bridge for a highway bridge, but as it was too ex- pensive a project for the city of New London to handle unaided, it was deemed best when the proper time arrived to ask the state to take over the old bridge and convert it into a highway. _Apparently the time has now ar- rived to take active measures to carry out the project. Senator Miner's biil pt the bridge is the prelim- inary step. The original plans as shown by drawings in the hands of the New London Business Men’s committee con- templated the location of the new bridge 110 feet north of the old, with a clear channel for passage of ves- sels of 150 feet. It 18 to have seven plers, five spans and two lifts for the 150 foot channel through which ves- sels are to go. It Is to have four tracks, of which two will be for im- media use. There will be 36 feet clear headroom under the channel span at mean high water. Plans for Highway Bridge. Four years ago the feasibility of leaving the present bridge standing after the new one is erected and util- izing 1t as a highway bridge was thor- oughly gone into. At the request of the Business Men's commitiee tne en- gineering department of the New F. yen road very kindly drew up plans showing & profile of both the old and the proposed bridge and & sketch - it to wi e L it it gy 0 the western end of the present draw to the center pier, By this arrs ment of lift a channel 150 feet is left | dire in line with the same width open vessels th bridges could go through #he two openings un- | justerless hair. hindered. " "Approved the Plans. At the time these plans were drawn Colonel Tavior was United States.en- neer stationed at New London, and . was understood that he considered them satisfactory as complying with government’'s requirements in not ‘mmm.unsflx:ntlumo w‘;er. and ;.f— sufficient means of passage for vessels up and down the Thames. The plans originally submitted by the New Haven road will be used with little or no change except perhaps in trifiing details. AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF STATE ARMORIES. Bill Drafted Which Wil Give Aithor- ity to the Board of Control. Recently Adjutant-General George M. Cole called attention to the dis- advantage the state labors under in that no one has authority to dispose of armory property or extra land, when at any time it might be finan- cially advisable 50 to do. The general assembly alone has the authority to sanction the sale.of jand and armory property. A bill has been drafted to meet these requirements, giving the power to the board of control. The measure is as follows: “That section 30 of the general stat- utes as amended is hereby amended by adding after he word ‘assembly’ in the last line: ‘“The board of control shall also have power to sell such buildings or land, or both, owned by the state and not necessary for the use of the state, at public or private sale, for cash or on credit, on such terms as the board may approve, and they may execute the conveyai ce there- oo INTERCITY BOWLING.

For a fire at the residence occupied by Jacob Munz at No. 291 Prospeet street the auto chemical responded Monday night, and just after midnight to a telephone call to the central sta- tion. The fire was in the servant's bed- room on the third floor of the house, and had been caused by the cxplosion of an oll stove which set fire to the bedding. Mr. Munz, who is superin- tendent at the J. B. Martin Co, velvet mill, had thrown the mattress and some of the bedclothes out of the win- dow by the time the firemen arrived, but theey effectively finished the work with six gallons of chemical. The house is owned by William G. Baker. WOODRUFF AND LIPPITT. Governor Has Made Geod Choice in The Twe Men. The Ansonia Sentinel says: “Gov- ernor Baldwin's choice of George M. Woogruff, a democrat, and Costello Lippitt, a republican, to represent Con- necticut at the approaching New Eng- land raiiroad conference, is excellent.” The Bridgeport Post is distressed b cause Mr. Woodruff is 77 and Mr, Lip- pitt 71—and says that the governor should have named younger men. Mr. Woodruff was at the head of the railroad commission of Connecticut for 25 yvears. No man in this state is held in higher esteem. His mind Is as act- ive today as it was when he first e tered public life—50 years ago—he is in the full fruitage of ripencd experi- ence and hisjudgment is unhampered by selfish Interests or private preju- dices of any kind. Mr. Lippitt has just finshed a term as state treasurer, and a keener, better treasurer this state has never had. Messrs. Woodruff and Tappitt are men of honor and good judgment who will stand for fair play. Gov. Baldwin has chosen wisely and well.-New Ha- ven Times-Leader. Before Stonington Probate Court.
