In a recent article on "Playground
for City Schools," Jacob A. Kiis, the
well-known writer on the poor iu New
York, makes the suggestion that even
rchool hoii'-e in a bit,' city hhould t
nirrounded by it park, not for show,
but for t'.-e recreation of the pupils,
lie also httggcsts that a portion of
i-very school building should be util
ized in the evening as a boys' club, ai
with proper management such clubi
would draw from the stree ts the bright
lads who are now converted itito irre
claimable hoodlums. "Uoth thest
mtggrstions have the merit of strong
common sense," claims the Shu Fran

mich, for instance, n.s strengthening
earthworks, forming u strong protec
tion around the hospital tents, or a
covering for water barrels tmd am
