McCarthy Plenty of room for dives and dens, (Glitter and glare and sin!) Plenty of room for prison pens, (Gather the criminals in!) Plenty of room for jails and courts, (Willing enough to pay) But never a place for the lads to race, No, never a place to play! Plenty of room for the running sores (Mammon must have the best!) Plenty of room for the running sores That rot in the city’s breast! Plenty of room for the lures that lead The hearts of our youth astray, But never a cent on a play ground spent No, never a place to play- Plenty of room for schools and balls Plenty of room for art. Plenty of room for teas and balls, Platform, stage and mart. Proud is the city—she finds a place For many a fad today, But she’s more than blind if she fails to find A place for the boys to play Give them a chance for innocent sport, Give them a chance for fun — Better a play ground plot than a court And a jail when the harm is done! Give them a chance —if you stint them now, Tomorrow you’ll have to pay A larger bill for a darker ill, So give them a chance to play! t Play Ground Rules 1. The Play Ground is for boys and girls of fourteen years of age and under. 2. The morning session will be from 9:30 to 11:30, afternoon ses sion 1:30 to 5:30. 3. Parents are urged to impress upon their children who attend the play ground that all apparatus is strictly in charge of the director, and that all disputes must be refer red to him. 5. In the conduct of the Play Ground it is hoped that ideas of real sportsmenship may be taught, and that a lady like and gentlemanly attitude will always prevail. 0. If occasion arrives where for the good of the work, certain child ren will have to be asked because of their attitude to remain away from the play ground, parents will be notified and will be expeced to co operate for the good of the move ment. 44> A $106,000 Calf.
