We would like to announce the closing of the season for our super vised play ground. It has been a suc cess in every way. The children have learned some new and healthy games and have some safe and sane play ground apparatus for amusement. Our teacher was just the finest for handling both boys and girls, and teaching them how to play together. Besides their play, they have or ganized a bird club and are studying the birds of Nebraska. We wish to thank all who donated towards the fund for expenses, also those who donated work. Especially would we thank our benefactor, Mr. Biglin, for his generosity in furnishing us the “Slippery Slide,” one of the best and largest of its kind,, given without solicitation. Your committee have met all obligations and are left with a small surplus on hand. Please re member the children are not expected on the play ground after this notice, because we have no teacher to supervise their play and we are afraid of accidents. Yourst truly, SUSAN B.
