PLAYGROUNDS INCREASE IN
” " AMERICA IN RECENT YEARS
The bureau of education accord-
ing to the New Haven icglstcr.
views with grout sufisl‘acllon the
increase in recent years in the num-
ber of playgrounds conan'cd with
public schools. Making public the
result of a questionnaire, the bureau
calls attention to conditions during:
the last century when the social and
health side of the children’s school
life was neglected.
"During the 19th century. and cs-
pccinlly in its later decades, the
school playground had. through a
ucnrslghlcd policy in financial ceou-
only. been gradually shrinking in
size and usefulness until in very
many instances it had disappeared
altogether or remained as a. more
\‘cstige in the form of n (lom‘ym-J in
the building." wrllcs .l’. 1’. lingers.
chief of the dlvlsion of pllyslrll 1211\-
cation and school hygiene. "Co—in-
cidentally. and to a. considerable ex-
tent casually, the recess period has
also shrunken or disappeared from
the school schedule, being crowded
out by the increase in the number of
things which were to be accomplish-
(‘rl in the course of the school day.
There was no time for play. even
had thcrc bccn room. but even bc~
l'orc or after school hours there was
lltl . space for bodily activity and
loss encouragement in this direction
Thu-r0 was still room cnough in
connection with the rurll and village
schoolhouscs. but even here the en-
couragement lo recreation and the
1mm dcvotcd to recess were fast di-
minishing. '
"Wlwu the urban school ground
“as disappearing other spaces with-
in lllx‘ cily limits were also diminish-
inr: in number and size until there
mic-n remained no place but the
[Hucd or dusty street in which chil-
drcn might play.
"At the same time. owing to the
rapid Change to the new order of in-
tensified industrial occupation and to
physically crowded though sodilly
isolated city life. the natural fend-
ency to play was dying out or was
ovhiblling itself in other than nor-
mal ways. Raised under bad hygien-
ic conditions. children developed lil-
tlc supq [lous energy to bubble over
into spontaneous muscular excrtlon.
They were not associated as in vil-
lage life or in the days when most
cities were little more than over-
grown Villages. and adults were too
much interested in their own affairs
in the struggle for a mere livelihood
or in the chase after additional dol-
lars. to care much for recreation or
to take much thought for .the play
or opportunity {or play of their chil-
.dren.
“Europe had gone through much
the same decadence of play and
shrinkage of playgrounds. but be-
gan to awake to the evil tendency
‘ at the beginning of the’ last quarter
of the nineteenihcentur)‘. A few
years later the reaction began also in
this country in a. small way. Proba-
bly {he first efforts to bring about
a. return to normal ways being the
placing of sand piles for young chil-
dren in a. vacant yard in Boston.
"By 1900 some ten cities had cs-
tablisbed playgrounds-1n 1906 the
Playground and Recreation Associa-
tion was found‘and under its impctls
the number of cities developing
playgrounds increased ramidly and
' their equipment and methods of man
agement proceeded apacc.
"While the earliest playgrounds
established under this revival were
of necessity apart from schools with
the construction of, new buildings
the securing of adequate grounds
was taken into account, and the
school playground began to expand
instead of to contract. Also the en-
couragement and supervision of play
were tardily‘recognized as functions
of school work.

All Right Fo .
Girls Says Daughter
Of Lord Montagu—
What Others Say,
It would seem that some of the
most beautiful at London’s aristo-
crats and of actresses artists mod—
cls and manlkins have been reading
the FirstiEpls‘tle or Paul the Apos-
tle to the Corinthians, XL.- 15:
But it a. woman have long hair,
is given her for a. covering.
For certain is it that many charm-
ing women have come to regard the
fashion of bobbing or of shingllng
the hair as a menace to thstruo
English‘ type of pulchrltude. accord-
ing to the following London letter
in the New York World. they are
confessing son-awfully and publicly
in interviews that they tried bobbing
with disasterous results. or that they
ventured into the ranks of the shin—
gled—then in deep re'pentance let
their hair grow again as fast as it
could.
Present Fashion Condemned
One of the most emphatic in con-
demning the short-hair fashion is
the Hon. Helen Montagu. daughter
0: Lord Mantagu of Beauleu—on the
stage Mrs. A. J. Clark Kennedy. It
must be said that this lady’s hair
is long and fair and remarkaozy
fine in texture.
“Short hair might suit a very
young rirl." says the aristocratic
actress. "but lt'ccrznlnly should not
up. Bobbing and shingllnl; ruin
the whole effect of the Univ Eng-
lish type of beauty. This type to be
perfect demands long hair. If a
woman wants to make her halr look
short there are ways of doing this
“about using the scissors."
“’hcn Miss Ethel \Yarwlck. the
actress. heard the word "shingllns"
sho shuddcred and said:
"I think that any tall woman who
cuts of! her hair makes herself look
ridiculous. Many a woman who has
become shinglcd would. I am sure.
(have been saved from such a tras—
fcdy if she had tried on a wig first
and seen the eflect or the short
style.
The only type or girl who can
possibly look well shingled or bob-
bed is the petite girl. But even she
runs the risk of looking too boyish."
Miss Nettie Grossmm., the film
actress. who has long black hair.
said that some time ago in a weak
moment—"just for the sake of fa-
shion”—she had it shingled. "But
never again!" she laughed.
"The effect was dreadful. and my
closest friends could scarcely recog-
nize mc. Shingllns undoubtedly
makes weak hair stronger. but it
ruins the natural wave in one's hair
and makes it coarse."
Latest Stylcs From Purl:
This revolt will probably spread
froxn’thc three styles of treating the
hair which have Just come from
Paris;
At least two of these methods im-
ply a. copious use of an unguent
which smooths down the hair and
gives it as seal-like an appearance
as possible, in one case the hair is
cut short and brushed back straight
on the forehead. with only the slight
est additional length over the ears.
In another the hair is treated in
the same way, except that it is al-
lowed to grow" a little longer behind.
where it turns up slightly. it is
thoroughly ollcd and looks almost
as though it could be lifted bodily
from the head, should occasion so
require. This kind of hairdressing
looks best with a coat and shirt and
stock. It is rather young mannish
the sort of young man who not so
long ago cultivated 3. Beethoven
forehead and let his hair grow
slightly over his collar to proclaim
that ho was an acsthctc. The third
method was frankly long hair. It
combs it as straight back from the
forehead as possible. usually with a
parting down the middle; oiling it
well to make it smooth. It is go.-
thered up into a knot low down on
the head. In some cases there are
two knots—one on eaclrslde o: the
neck—which together produce an
exceedingly Victorian impression.
The Increase in Tipping. '
(Worcester Telegram.)
A harrasscd New York suggests
that the political party which first
goes on record against tipping will
gain an overwhelming victory. “Let
us have but one party ” he says. "one
issue. one slogan—Tlpbuster fer
President. no tip. wow!” He pictures
the lineup of “restaurant wcfiers.
barber‘s. taxlthugs. but check girls.
porters" on one side and ten times as
many of “‘us common people" on the
other.
It something is not done to curb
tipping. says the objector we "shall
be landing a. tip to telephone com-
panies and street car conductors."
This may seem impossible, but where
is the line to be drawn? The num-
bers of services which “require" tips
keeps increasing. Even soda form-
taln clerks expect them in some New
York establishments, is . the com.-
plalnt. ‘ _.
But every person. in whatever
employment he may be, who makes
it known that‘hebelleves himself on-
titled to tips. is really doing his part
to abolish tipping. We shall not
realize the absurdly. unfairnelr' and
snobbery of the tipping custom until
the army- of tip-takers,er so big as
