He told of the establishment of the playgrounds on Connecticut boulevard and In other places for the smaller children. He said there was no class work in these places. but there was story telling, games and folk dances.

The great cost for playgrounds, he said, was for supervision, while the expense for the paraphernalia was slight. For the children there were sand boxes, plenty of swings, movable slides and a giant stride. Mr. Weaver spoke at considerable length in regard to the various phases of the playgrounds, and the members of the committee asked many questions relative to the work and its bearing on the town. His talk was very helpful to the committee, and at its conclusion he was tendered a vote of thanks.
