pUBiiC PLAYGROUNDS. President Heartily Commends the Movement for Them. TVashln>rtoTi. Feb. JO.— President Roosevelt in a j«trer addressed to C^ne 31. Rudolph, president c . tne Washington Playgroun Association, strongly commends the renewed Intel in play end r:a: - .r.dp throughout the country. He ad vocates municipal provision for playgrounds "for every child as much as schools." these to be within easy tralking distance of every boy and girl, and properly eupervlsed by the cities. He urges cities to eecure ihe available grounds at once. in order to avoid the necessity of later demolishing blocks of bui'.u'.iies to obtain such space, and he particularly con:men3s the plan of playground development In this city as tending toward making the nation's ci.pltal a model city. The President's letter fol lows: I have noted with pleasure the pood work which your association has <lcne in promoting play grour.ds for the national capital. 1 am especially j,:»£sed with the prospect of Congress granting this jear an apjiro^nation for the purchase of play ground sites. I trust that the bill of Representa tive BonteU ■■■- through, so that you may be able to secure pltes in The various quarters of the-c'.ty now Ti-hlla open spaces still exist, and be fore Ihe price upon them becomes prohibitive. The rlan of playground development for the District ];as been so can fully drawn that I hope it may be carried out substantially ns outlined. 1 regard tills as one of tho most important f;p;i3 toward ir..ik!r.f; Washington tiie mode! city which we all le"! that the capita! of ihis nation should be. I have hern pleased jo see also that there is a new interest iii play and playgrounds all over the coun try, ar.d that many, cities that have not previously taken up the movement in a systematic way have mad' 1 a beginning this year. The annual meeting Of the Playground Association of America in Chicago In June, with its attractive piny festival and com j<rehi ri.'ivt ptudy of play problems, is sure to in cresFe this ir.'.erest. ] trust tha: all of our larger municipalities will F^nd representatives to this cx hifcltioii to j Inspiration from this meeting and to see the magnificent system that Chicago hns creoted in its South Park section — one of - ♦ most notable civic achievements of any American city. Tfcr new appreciation of the value of play in the development of children is shown in many ways. The physical trainers In all of their recent, meetings have rut a new emphasl* on the importance of play, and are j-ivins a larger place to it in thfiir wltK. The Public School Athletic League <>f New York has organized athletics along- xi.ne and help ful lines for thousands cf school child! en, and a number or other ties fe*>m to be nt>out to take up this movement. There is a genera] fe-^tns in our f ch^o'p and cqllepes also for larger athWic flo'.da ers'l the partieiyintion cf a larger proportion of the Btudents in athletic events In Germany a larte number of pames have been put into the school courre as a part of tho school system, thus extend ing the method of the kindergarten through the elementary school. In England football and cricket have been a part of the school course at Eton, Rugby and most of the other public nnd prepara tory Fr-hof.ls for many yf»ars. In the private schools of this country, pimllar to these English schools. such as Lawrenceville. Groton^ St. Paul's and many others, play i? al«o provided for In the curriculum. : hope that soon all of our public pchoola will provide. In connection with the school buildings aril .ir.rlng school hours, 'he p!a<~e and time f^r iho recre.Ttl?n as well ns study of the children. Play is et pres.-nt almost the only method of physical dfvelopni^nt for city children, and we .... for it if we would hive tfse children strong and law-abiding. We have raised the aco st which, the child may po to work nnd Increased ■ ...» years. The^e changes involve Increased expense for parents, with fipcrpased return from the "child. If we do not a:!"".- the children to work we mu=t provide some Other phace than the streets for their leisure time. If we are to re*juir<» the pprents to rf-Tr the chil dren a! an increased expense for the service of the state, practically without return, the state should make the care cf children as »asy and pleasant as possible. If w?--wouki hqve our citizens contented f-.:~.\ Saw-abiding, we must not sow the seed of dis content in chlidhood by dcr.ylns? children their birthright of play. City street* ere unsatisfactory playgrounds for children, because of the d'.ncer. because most pood paneF nre ;ig:ainsT the law, bpcausp they are too hot in summer, and because in crowded sections of the city they are cpt to be schools of crime.. Keither do small hnr-k yards or ornamental grass plots meet th* ne^ds of any but the very small children. Old^r children who would play vigorous fames must have places especially set aside fur th«>m. and. since play is a fundamental ne^d. play ground* should 'in? provided for every child ns much as school*. This racnns ... be distributed over the riti^s in puch a way as to be within walk distance of every boy and girl, as most children cannot afford to pay carfare. In view of these fact?, cities should secure available spaces at oiiop, so that they may not nec-d to de molish Mocks of buildings in order to make play grounds. ns New York Ins had to do. at a cost of nearly n.-OOO.fIOO an acie. Neither must any city believe that simply to fur nish open ppacK ivi!) secure the be^t results. There roust be superyisHin of these playgrounds; other wise the <"il<fer and stronger children occupy them to the exclusion of tho younger and weaker ones; they are so noisy that people ilvintr In the neighbor hood are annoyed: they are ... vossessiTi of ;jinrs and become the rendezvous of the mo;t undesirable elements of the population; the exercise and play is less systematic .-;nri vigor ens v. hen without supervisions nnd moreover, in all ritles where the experiment has been tried, it !r:s b«-e n found that such playgrounds are not Well at tended.

Hill. president ot the Great Northern Railroad, while In the finir.clal district yesterday, said: "A greneral recession hr.r set In. It Is not much at preterit, but ii ought to be sufficient to relieve the strain. Th railroads are curtailing expenses generally. Thi3 one rhas''- of the situation wit] bo a big help. "I expect no tsiness recession in tho Northwest, however. The Great Northern does not deal In cummer resorts and luxuries. We haul grain. lumber and ore, which rue necessities. Our fcusi r.ess should bo the last to drop off." President 1I"1 said that tho Great Northern had nothing to fear fj'bm the ••" that was being rolsed against overcapitalization of railroads. "Ouis It one of ths lowe3t cacltalirod roads In the country, tis every one knows." he FBid. As ■' traffic conditions on Ills road, President Hill Fald they ha<3 had four or I re weeks of the vorst weather he had ever seen, but that traffic was now movir.gr freely. "There Is a h\s volume of business being of fered," he said. "It Is well above what It wns a year ago, nnd Is all we can handle. We shall be in good shape for tho t.prlng's work. Between now and July we shall receive a hundred and fifty new engines." President Hill cald ho had every reason to expect a decision favorable to his road in the case- of the C3reat Northern Ftock issue now pending in the Minnesota courts, and intlmaXs-d that an advrr39 decision would not In any way hamper his road. Regarding the Inadequacy cf the country rail road equipment to handle the large volume of busi ness now Ing offered. I'resldent Hill Raid: "Some of the producers of the country mutt suffer. If we get bumper crops cgrain they win suffer Btlll more. The'.r products cannot be moved. There 1? ;>ler.ty cf corn In Kansas which i!u> people In the East -.vould ll^e to have. Tho ralroad man finds that when he hauls It his cars will be tied up three months. Chicago asks seven duys in which to reeonsipn freight. "It !s purely an illusion to think It would do any pood to p"o! all the cars. It is more than a la^k or cars. We must have more terminals In which to move cars and more tracks over which to move thorn. Tho railroad fn.-llitlpp of tills coun try have been paralyzed by tlip urowth of business, frlgures show n. find they cannot be refuted." PRESIDENT MKINIEYS MOTTO Lecturer Says It Was a Quotation from Shakespeare's "Henry VIII." That the works of William Shakespeare are one nf the preafst rellclous forces of the time, and that his plays owe their Immortality largely to their religious teachings, was one of the chief con tentions of Frederick Ward.-", tho.

At a meeting of the Robert Fulton Monument Association yesterday at the "Waldorf, President Cornelius Vanderbllt presiding, upon the recom mendation of the sub-committee on site, resolutions \ were adopted approving as the site of the proposed I monument to Robert Fulton the Hudson River front, between 114 th and 116 th streets, and request 1 ire, such legislation as will enable the erection of the monument on that site. Besides the president of the association and Will lam H. Fletcher, Its secretary, there were present Archbishop John M. Farley, William Rhinelander Stewart, chairman of the committee on site; Austen G. Fox, Robert Fulton Cutting. General John T. Cutting. Walter Scott, Charles R. Lamb, president of the Municipal Art Society: Isaac Guggenheim end J. Alden Weir. Since the meeting of January 10, -when the sub committee on site was appointed, the members of that committee and of the committee on design agreed at a meeting on February 7 that the site should be nno facing the Hudson River. They were also Influenced by the fact that there is now no appropriate, dignified and monumental landing place for the city of New York, and that this Beemed an opportunity to co-operate with the Ftate and the city authorities to remedy this evident municipal defect. The plan is to erect, in connec tion with the monument, a water or sf-a gato and basin for boat landing for public use, to bo known as the Robert Fulton wjuer gate, at which distin guished visitors from foreign nations, arriving on warships or other vessels, may be suitably re of*i\ ed Geores L Rives and William Rhinelander Stew art who had been authorized to prepare a bill to b*- pr».-sent*«l to the Legislature, submitted the bill which was approved and will be sen! to Albany at once.

HULL— At a meeting of the Board of Directors of ths Fidel ity asd Casually Com pan held February 20th, the fal lowing minute en the death of Mr. Areliua B. Hull was adopted: During- the thirty years, annci. of the activities cf •-Ms corporation there have been few changes in tta board excepting those made necessary by death. Sir. Hull was a member of the first board choaeg. and served In that capacity continuously until his ea4 cam». Kb was regular In attendance and painstaking In the discharge of duty, doing, as a rule, far more than an even sham of work. But !t Is impossible for those who -.-• left •-> consider the memory of Mr. Hull from the standpoint only of business relationship. Frequent and regular attention to affairs of mutual Interest over a lonsr series of -ears cannot but lead to intimato a<-fjualntanc*> ard eJTec tion between those con.-erned. Business m»«!rx» un der such circumstances afford opportunities for inter course which are cherished mow and mora as the years pans. It is with much feellnr. therefore, that the -«mbera of the board record their appreciation of Mr. Hull's Qualities and their sense of loss In his smth. There can be no disposition aver to say other than Rood things about the dead. There Is no memory In his casa of aught that any on* eoold siy in disparage ment. He was true In all relationships. Re was con sistent throughout. His judgments were sound. H» -a» successful. He was kindly and helpful. He was full of good works. Few men have lived a. more fully rounded and attractive life. I>t-aih has claimed In the rlppTi»99 of time what *w mortal, bnl precious memories remain. May he rest In '•are. Attest: EGBERT J. HILLAS. Vi?e-Prea.-Sec'y. n*ES— Suddenly. February 16. at Patll. N.
