Later two more kindergarteners -were added to the group, and we did splendid work. Nowadays people don't know what a well-equipped playground Is like.
The playgrounds now are not furnished with the? apparatus to attract children. -Why we had three sets of large swings, twenty baby swings and four garden swings, so that there could be 66 children swinging at one time." "And every child loves a swing," the reporter broke in. "I remember when I was a child there was a swing on a cherry tree in the country and I'd swing for hours. It comes the nearest to flying. 1 suppose tliey all wanted to "Not all.

The autos honked and blew terrifying whistles, but what cared the children for Issues -of life or death, when the white snow lay In tempting profusion about them.
The motor cars went slowly, for, perhaps, the chauffeurs were thinking of the days when they, too, built snow forts snow men and waged a merry TV ar fare with snowballs scientifically hardened; only in those days there were merely Jingling sleighs to avoid. "There ought to be a playground In this neighborhood," The Chat reporter said to herself, pausing at the point where Arlington place and Macon street spread Into a triangle at Fulton street. It was a point near the home of a playground expert Elizabeth Van Doren, of 15 Arlington place, and the reporter, remembering this, quickened her steps. "Oh, Miss Van Doren," she cried, bursting into No. 1J full of her grievance.
isn't there a playground in this neighborhood? The children are all out in the snow chattering like sparrows and every single one of them is in danger of his life, or her Ufa, for there are Just as many girls out -In the snow aa boys. They ought to i made to -etay indoors where they i safe. The poor little things," Miss Van ioreri answered. "Could you have the heart to shut a child up when that fascinating enow lays all around under such brilliant sunshine? Come in. I will tell you what playgrounds were twenty-five years ago." She ushered the reporter Into hw Jibrary where a Big chair stood before the wide fire-place empty, aJa, of nny firs.
But not for long, for In a few moments Miss Van Doren had built a fire; of shavings, clapped on a log or two and added to the blase the rem-mnt of her Christmas tree. Which rmelt to' heaven with aromatlo de-IViousnoss! Still the picture was not complete until Uncle Peter, the family cat. came and arched his gtey back and lay down on the warm hearth for snoose.

The rlygrouil movement started In April, 1903, when t''e first playground was opened In Pnttery Parrk. It was an outgrowth if the Outdoor Ttecreatlonal League.
I'ecple were beginning to wake up to fiie fact that Now Tork was becoming a big city and. that the children were rotting piwhed aside as traffic grew neater and were suffering for the lack of physical exercise and fresh air. The Battery Park Playground was the first one, but it was folloised by several others In the fall. Then a compilation arose. The Board of Education claimed the right of engaging so the kindergarteners supervising the playground were appointed tinder the Civil Service Unclassified T.lst as playground attendants.

The child doesn't get all its education from books by any means. I ran a playground once on Rrvington street, Manhattan. The houses about were dirty and sordid and adorned with clothes hanging from the fire-escapes, but I found beauty for my children in the sky.
I cannot emphasize too much the need of a play supervisor. Without supervision a playground will have mob rule, the right of the stronger over the weaker. A trained supervisor can take a vacant lot and do splendid things with it, while an untrained supervisor wiU do poorly with full equipment, in these days of crowded traffic, street play should be absolutely forbidden. There should be a playground open at every school and a larger playground In every neighborhood. And one thing I would emphasize and that is, don't hang out a sign that says, 'Open for children under Many a time there are children over 15 who are wild to play." "All I know Is that the snow gets Into my blood," the reporter cried, "and I feel as if I'd like to slide down hill." t'Tll come with you," Miss Van Doren said, with an understanding smile.
She brought out a large album and opened It with a flourish. "Look at this." Before the reporter's eyes she spread a series of photographs taken In her playground. There were children playing and children laughing. Here a miniature Queen of the Slav led her vassals around a Maypole, and there a Christmas tree was set before the adoring faces of a group of little street Arabs. Children ran races and solemn little tots sat on the ground In the sunshine and stared seriously about them.
There was a photograpn of a beautiful snow man and another of children who happily marched under U. S. flags made of tissue paper, a photograph of little mothers admiring a doll house, crowds of children at play in a safe spot A Safe Spot! "Are you a Brooklyn woman." tne reporter asked. "Yes. I was horn and raised here.
My great-grandfather, Jacob' Van Doren, died In 1C58, but we have no record of when he came. My great-great-grandfather on my mother's side was Abner Thorpe, of New Jersey. He fought In the War of the Revolution." She lifted down another a family Bible, and turned to the ram ily record. Following her pointing finger the reporter read: "Abner Thorpe was an ardent and devoted Whig and personal friend of the Father of his Country. At the close of the war he retired to hts'farm In Monmouth County, N.
where In the discharge of every parental and social duty nnd In the enjoyment of a lively faith In the mercies of his divine Mas ter, he continued to dispense his benevolence until his pure spirit was summoned, hence on the 4tli of Decern her, 1812. in the S2nd year of his age.

"I was educated at the AdelDhl Academy and later went to the Brooklyn Hill Seminary and also Studied at the New York Lnl- versity." "You are a member of the New York City Playground League, are you not "Yes. I also belong to the League of Women Voters, the Monitor Chap ter of the Daughters of tho union, the Bedford Community Center, the 17th Assembly District Republican Club and the Unity Child Welfare Organization." At this point another member of the family came in and -began to play "The Babbling Brook" on the banjo, and nt this broad hint the reporter wisely withdrew.

MONROE OFFICERS ARE UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED The necessity for a new Democratic clubhouse for the Evergreen section of Queens County was stressed Thursday evening by Alderman James M. Murtha at a regular meeting of the club, 1115 Cypress avenue. "The time has come," said Alderman Murtha, "when the Monroe Democratic Club must make preparations to accommodate newcomers to our flourishing section. New realty developments mean new voters, and we must build a new clubhouse to make our club appealing to these pilgrims." Leader Joseph Mafera voiced the same opinion, and President Alhcrt yeegar, who has just been elected to serve lite fourth term as president of the Monroes, said that he too was of the opinion that a new clubhouse the Immediate need of the organi zation. i The following officers were elected without opiMliltixi: AlUart Seegar, president; WlUlam Imlay, lFt vlc--president; Fred Brunjes, 2nd vice-president; Andrew r.

Whatever he starts doing he Is very likely to keep on doing all the time he Is In the, Dlavtround. We. had wonderful sand work. Some of the foreign boys would spend hours laying out village and building forts. Some of them wanted to sit down in the sand and dig tunnels.
The 'neighboring kindergarteners used to bring their children to play in our sand, for my idea was that a playground properly run should be like a community center, open for all. And all the year around. Then when we had a bis fall of snow, why we uttllied it as play material. The boys built big snow forts and funny snow men. On Thanksgiving Day they dressed up In all the outlandish clothes they could find and we staged a pov erty, parade.
On Flag Day we made our own flags out of tissue paper and paraded. On Arbor Day wo planted out tree. On Christmas Day we lit up a big Christmas tree. We were weeks preparing for that Christmas tree. strung popcorn and cranberries, and when one of the boys had sn extra cent, lie bought a penny ornament.
I remember, a little girl coming to me and asking. 'Teacher, what kind of presents will we get off the Christmas There waa snow on the ground and I had a bit of a stick In my hand.

"Did I understand you to say that you had a tennis court?" "Tee. WhenHhe factory girls were laid off for the dav, I let them use the tennis court. "We had a croquet ground, too, and we played ring toss and tether hall and had teeter ladders and flying rings and a sure-enough doll house, which we made ourselves. We made raffia mats for the floors ana doll furniture, and hemmed curtains for the windows.
People sometimes say, 'What an easy way to earn a So It might be If you let the children play, as they do in the street, tout the success ot playground depends upon keeping the children busy, and only an active and energetic woman with plenty of resources can do that.

"There's an ideal spot on Marcy avenue, near Fulton street," MiM Van Doren said, hr eyes beginning to gleam. "It's hidden away behind the Classlque Theatre, but It could be made Into a wondorful playground for mother and their little children.
Little children can't go far from home, while larger ones can. There's a 40-foot lot at the entrance of that space. It could be beautified and then' there could be wide stppa leading up into the circular plot behind, where there oould be benches for the mothers and a play space with sand plies and swings for the little children. It could be equipped at little expense, for children like to thlnlc ip ways to amuse themselves. Do you remember what fun you used to have with a flight of stairs?
