In an interview in regard to tho pro- greis oi the playground worK miss Anna Kranph, who la chairman of the committee that if working, stated that they will soon tcnow In regard to the work for this summer. She has been in communication for some time with Harry Smith of Negaunee, Mich., and states that ho will probably bo here this summer to take charge of the childrens'a work. Mr. Smith Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J, I. Spith of this city and formerly lived hare. He graduated from tho school here and took ayear of physical culture, a year of medicine and a- year In tho university of Chicago and is well qualified as a playground workor. He has charge of the playground Work at Negaunee and has a good offer to re turn there nextyearHis work here will probably be only for tho summer. The playground word is largely mis understood by many peoplo who seem to have tho idea that it is only strenu ous athletics for boys. The work, how ever, consists of many dluerent' exer cises comprising the folk dances, dif ferent games and drills. At other pieces a play ground festival is given oach year and it Is of such nature, that all pupils of the grade schools can par ticipate. The pupils are divided in classes and tho stunts vary from the winding of the May poles to the heavy athletics and some acrobatic events. At Chicago this year over throe thou sand children took part in tho festival. At Omaha a large number of .children took part and it was witnessed by sev eral thousand people. At Beatrice tho regular May festival, as it is called there, was witnessed lsst year by over three thousand poople coming from all parts of tho county and this year tho festival is to be held on the now athle tic field and they expect five thousand paople. Tho committee began began work yesterday raising a subscription to carry on tho work here this summer. Bruce Brown has charge of raising the big subscriptions and the ladies have the small subscriptions and they will accept any amount. They hope to make this a regular feature" of the school ooon and carry it on in tho summer as well. Miss Kramph reported that the play ground work was widely discussed at tho repent meeting of Charities and Correction at Omaha and that it was the general concept of opinion among those workers among children that this was one great factor in keeping the child out of mischief as well as affording him wholesome pastime. It tends to develop a spirit of fairness as well as to develop the bodies and with the co operation of North Platte people this can be added to the schools 'here and become a factor of making North Platte tho Third city.
