1“ 4 VACATION SCHOOLS GREATER THANEVER System Originated by The World Has Grown Until It Spreads Over the Four Larger Bor- oughs. MANY MORE CENTRES IN 1903 A Variety of Studies That Are More Pleasure than Toll Draw Increas- Ing Throngs of Children to School, Playground, Bath and Pler. ‘The growth of The World's plan for having the playgrounts of the public schools thrown open In summer for the use of children has been marvellous. The summer vacation school, with Its attendant recreations and play centres for children under the supervision of the Board of Education, has become a permanent institution and one that brings exceedingly gratifying results, Supt. Maxwell, of the public school syatem, declared yesterday that the suggestion that the public schools be opened during the summer for the chil- dren was an “inspired thought and a blessing.” It was The World which first sug- gested that the school grounds, which were usually kept closed during the vacation season, be opened for the use of the children during the summer. Great Oaks Grow. From this seed have grown vacation achools, vacation piers, open-alr play- grounds, roof kindergartens, roof play- grounds, recreation plers and public school swimming baths, besides classes for the instruction of children In studies not included in the regular teaching. Among these are nature study, water- coloring, sewing, woodwork, rustic work, gymnastics, swimming and man- wal exer There appears, however, says Supt. Maxwell. to be no limit to the work that children may do with, benefit to themselves during the summer months. ‘The idea is'to make a ance at the playgrounds, the swimming pools, the Kindergarten, the sewing classes and gymnasium a matter of pleasure in- atead of toll. In this respect, It 1s be- Meved, great advances have been made.
