Excerpt from Sixteenth Annual Report of the Department of Playgrounds of the District of Columbia for the Year Ended June 30, 1927The park playgrounds are far more attractive to the children than the school grounds. The children enjoy the green grass and shade and the border plantings, which they never disturb. On school play grounds there is little beauty of design and almost never room for a ball field, most of the school playgrounds are small and suitable for the youngest children only. It is a constant grief to us that the older boys must daily be sent elsewhere to play, if allowed on the smaller grounds the little children are crowded out entirely.We are very enthusiastic about mass-play games. There is much free play and quiet games, there are tennis tournaments, tin-can golf, roller-skating contests, quoit pitching, and the athletic badge test for boys and girls, and track and field events on each ground are of great interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
