A movement has been started In South
Philadelphia to procure a playground for
the pupils of the deorge Washington fila
mentary School, 6th street below Washing
ton avenue, who must play In nn alloy be
cause the Board of Education has provided
no better recreation facilities.
Eighteen hundred boys nnd girls, mem
bers of all grade, are obliged to content
themselves with this sort of "school yard."
According to educators familiar with the
school code, tho Bpace allotted to tho chil
dren for play Is actually below tho require
ments of law.
It la only because tho Washington School
was built before the net becamo effective,
and because the law Is not retroactive that
tho Board of Kducatlon cannot bo com
pelled to proldo a playground. The alley,
which scnes as a substitute, Is about 90
square feet In area. It lies between the
schoolhouse and a private dwelling.
two itEcnsstis nnqumED.
So small Is this space that Miss Katherlno
T Dever. the supervising principal, has been
forced to order two recesses. Sho has
found that It li Impossible to accommodate
all of the pupils In the alley at ono time.
This condition has been tho subject of
protest for many yearn In South Phila
delphia, but tho movement hns so far had
no material effect When Miss Margaret
T. Magulre, an ofllcer In the National
Education Association nnd principal of tho
General CIcorge A. McCnll School, was head
of the Washington School sho Incrcnscd tho
sentiment In tho neighborhood In favor o( a
playground.
Tho Bchool Itself Is overcrowded Twelve
"part time" classes nro In session each day
because the enrolment Is too great for tho
size of tho building. The latter condition
will be relleed, however, when tho liny
School, Wharton aboe flth street, now In
course of reconstruction, Is rebuilt.
It was at first believed that tho Wash
ington School would alsd ba reconstructed
during tho vacation months this summer,
but It was announced At the headquarters
of the Board of Education today thai no
tuch change Is contemplated. It wad also
announced that there Is no Immediate pros
pect of a playground for the pupils of
the latter Institution,
TEACHEltS CniTICAI
Teachers who have Inspected schools
throughout the State declare that they have
never eoen any other school where the
children are compelled to Use nn Alloy as
a playground. They say that this deficiency
Is particularly unfortunate nt the Washing
ton School, because many of tho pupils are
either foreigners or the children of foreign
parents.
Their Impression of American Institu
tions, gained from such educational sur
roundings, cannot make fo. better citizen
ship, it Is pointed out. An effort will be
mado to Interest the Clvlo Club, the Horns
and School League nnd similar orgnnlza
tlons In tho movement to have tho Board
of Education purchase properly to bo used
as a playground or solvo tho problem In
some other way.

Experience, the Teacher
of Tire Lessons
The experience of your last week-end holi
day trip has told you something about the tires
you use
That they are, or they are not, the parti
cular tires suited to your particular car,
Experience taught the United States Tire
Company that all tires are not suited to
all cars.
That is why the United States Tire Company
makes five different tires a tire to meet every
need of price and use the only complete line
offered by any tire manufacturer.
One of the five is made for your car will
give you the lowest cost per mile.
"Cannon Ball'1 Baker's transcontinental
world's record car was equipped with United
States 'Balanced Tires. Baker says: "No
other tires would have stood the test."
Ask the nearest United States Tire Dealer
for your copy of the booklet, "Judging Tires," '
which tells how to find the particular tire to
suit your needs.

A Great June Sale of
About $200,000 Worth
of Men's and Young
Clothing
M
ens
Conceived in Good Faith; Based
on Oak Hall's Reputation;
Backed By the Merchandise!
Begins Tomorrow Morning
at 8 o'Clock
AT
Wanamaker & Bro wn's
Market at Sixth Street, Philadelphia
TT will constitute the biggest June clearing
house sale of Meh's and Young Men's
good Summer Clothing ever offered by
Wanamaker & Brown which means one
of the largest disposals in the history of the
Philadelphia clothing trade.
Between eight thousand and nine thousand picked
Suits from the stocks of half a dozen manufacturers
famous for their ability to make good clothing are in
this history-making offer.
Every single, solitary garment is guaranteed to be all wool
and absolutely jfast color, regardless of all you have read of the
.scarcity of good -woolens' and the scarcity of good dyes. The
low prices at which these Suits will be sold will fairly electrify
the clothing buyers of Philadelphia.
In almost every instance the figures on the price tickets' are
wholesale and in many instances less than wholesale. They
follow:
$12.00
$13.50
$15.00

WO or three great principles dominate
the policy of Wanamaker & Brown.
i
One is to sell only all wool clothing;
another is to satisfy every customer- or
hand his money back. And a third is to do
business on the basis of big volume.
And buying in big volume has overcome the handi
caps imposed by the conditions that have ruled in the
woolen and dye markets the past year and a half. '
This, coupled with Oak Hall's ability to pay spot cash for .
the best offerings of many manufacturers and to clear their
stockrooms (no matter how great their stock of good suits) on ,
a cash basis, has made this wonderful opportunity for our r
customers
i
Our sales force is ready, the suits are t
ready and no matter how great the demand ;
or how big the rush that greets Oak Hall's
famous June clearing house sale tomorrow,
customers will receive prompt and courteous
attention, , '
