Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 161, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 July 1916 — Advantage of Playground. [ARTICLE]

Advantage of Playground.

Some small towns have adopted the plan of providing golf, baseball and tennis grounds for the use of the public, and the experiments made alon& this line so far have been highly successful. One of the first and most satisfactory results of providing playgrounds is shade evident by the young people being content to remain at home rather than to wander off after entertainment and amusement elsewhere. Every step toward taking the dullness out of the small towns will help to lessen the congestion in the large cities.
