Thcro nro 116 public school playgrounds ml 25 Board of Recreation playgrounds open In the summer months. But In the fall, nftcr the Bchools close their sessions for tho day, the streets be come tho chief playgrounds of the chil dren; for only 25 of tho public school playgrounds and 17 of the Bonn! of Ho-' .creation play centres remain open In the winter months. Agitation has been begun In vnrlous sec tions, to have streets roped off for play spaces for tho children, and It Is ex- pectcd that before long some of Phlla ; delphla's smull side thoroughfares may echo with th& shouts of youngsters free I tvifxn. school with ropes nnd policemen 5 guarding against Intrusion by motor cars land other trafflc vehicles as In New York. 3THINKS SCHOOLYARDS AMPLE. "VVIlllam . A- Steelier, director of physi cal education In tho public schools and a. member of the Board of Recreation, fay: "Asldo from nny question of legality. I I do not believe that the closing of i Btreets to permit clilldren to play with out the hindrance of trafllc Is necessary In Philadelphia. In this city there Is nmple space. If wo will only permit tho little folic to use It "We .have several hundred school yards, each of which can be used as playgrounds by the city children. As a matter of fact, only 20 are used as per manent playgrounds, because the Board ot Education has appointed supervisors tor that number. The board Is not cer tain that the public Is anxious thnt Its money should be spent for the main tenance of several hundred playgrounds. "But If Philadelphia definitely dem onstrates thnt It Is willing to pay for the organized play of Its child popula tion the board will soon appropriate enough money to keep all of the school yards open all of the time. I hope that the public will at some time demand suoh an Improvement. The schoolyards of this city represent an Immense finan cial Investment. As a matter of busi ness policy, It appears to me unwise and wasteful to use them 'for no more than nn hour or two each day. "The streets ore not the. Ideal place for play. The highways were Intended for traffia nod not for public recreation. If we close the streets for this purpose we may be tiding considerable harm to the playgrounds movenent, because the parents of the city may become satisfied with such accommodations. "Of course. In New York the problem Is a different one. The majority of schools there have no yards at all. The entire city Is so built that even the roofs must be used as play places; but Jn Philadelphia, where the' space Is available, If only the necessary legisla tion Is obtained, such a radical move qs i ;the 'roping off- of streets would be without fRooxl cause."

Pupils of Mrs. King. ' Mrs. Mary Perry King, noted dance In structress and Interpreter, presented a novel program of "Bnllad Dances" at the Little Theutrc yesterday afternoon. These dances, the oldest nnd tho newest combi nation of poetry, music and motion, re ceived tho applause of a largo audience, In which thero wero many society people. Under the auspices of the Philadelphia Physical Education Society, of which Dr. R. Talt McKenzIo is president, Mrs. King was able to give her program before an appreciative assembly of persons Inter ested In dancing-from a standpoint of In terpretation and physical education. The dancers, MIsm Sybil Maitland, Miss Marian Bnllln and Miss Laurel Garcy, ore students of Mrs. King and have been trained by her for months. They will go with her on her trip West this winter. "Physical cducutlon finds motion alone Is inadequate," said Mrs. King. "Scientific motion, music, nnd speech, nil aro em bodied In theso dances. The original drama, of course, was tho ballad dance, but It was without the accompaniment nf music, and descriptive song, or poem. Motion here Is accurately significant ot thought and feeling. Tho steps and music synchronize with tho song or story, und blond Into one perfect thought. This Is the ideal dance." Tho dnncers themselves feel no re straint In their art. In their airy grace, their feet scarce seemed to touch the lloor, nnd swoeplng. swaying, swinging, they sung as they danced. "These dances are. novel, they are real demonstrations of what America can do. Nothing like this has ever been done, either hero or abroad. This Is tho only troupe of ballet dancers anywhere In eNlstence," said Doctor McKenzle,- who IsShe physical director of the University of Pennsylvania. '(Mrs. King hasfound something absolutely distinctive on which to apply her art. Th,ls can never bo called an imitation of nnythlng produced before." Mrs. King's students are artistic ama teurs. Dancing to them Is tho highest form of living. They would rather dance tlinn nnythlng they can conceive. They dance for the love of It, for tho enthu siasm Is great and compelling. As they dip and sway, pirouette and bow, they are following out tho action dt the story they portray, with the subtlest charm and grace imaginable. Thev danced the "Pas de trols," the dance' of three, dividing the action be tween them. In a riot of music and danc ing, In exuberance and exultation, the theme was carried out. portraying' the, Joves of' Pierrot, his confusion upc-n tneet Ing two rpaldena at the same time, how they dalljed with him, tilrted, and finally how they left .In one embrace. The "pas de trols" Is the newest thing In dancing. 'The book from which it wus taken, "Earth Deities," by Dllss Carman and Mary Perry King, Is being released by the publishers today, and when shown was a novelty of whlqh none knew. Doc tor Mcltenile nnd Mrs. King were unani mous In thinking this will revolution ize all conventional or unconventional dances. , Tho first number was "The Enchan tress." This was a. pastoral -dance, show ing the spirit o( the blossoms, with a faun In pursuit- Another ilance, "An Idyl," showed the shepherd and his shep herdess and their Jove. 'The "Shadow Pance," a sqlo by Miss Carey, was a dance of -a'nyniph and her shadow. Miss Dorothy Hoyle, a talented "Voung artiste, played the violin for th dancers, She 'was accompanied, by Mlsa Kmelle Harforil.hf so'ngstress. at: the piano. .

"The tacit understanding was that the Integrity of the wards should not be dis turbed so that each ward Would havo representation In Select Council. Tha enormous revenues derived from the old wards have been used for the Improve ment of the outlying wards.
