Now. it’s part of the job ot ninning a cit> to see that old and young have chances to enjoy good wholesome fui ii’l tlie year round—to piny tennis and golf ,and baseball and volleyball ’to swim, to dace, to hear good music. Take Memphis, Tenn., lor an example Last seasrm ilic recreation depart ment organized 124 basketball teams 40 soccer teams. 23 football teams and ITS basebull teams. Two nine- hole public golf courses were main tained and there weie eight hundred and f fty -five acres of park space for her people to enjoy. .One o. hei most spectacular achievements ha> been the building of a $2,000,000 ? t municipal auditorium where she is | planning a season of opcm for nexl | year. Maryland has a state-wide athle- : tic league, which Is promoting health • fui recreation and athletics among the hoys and g'rls in the rural I schools of the state Unit athletics and | recreation should be a part of the education of the people.” ! The real reason, or at least a very important reason for increased muni- ( 1 ciipal appropriations ’for recreation, \ Mr. Lassiter thinks, is the c.'oso con ‘ uection between lack of piny and - crime. The city of St. Lou’s recently made a study to see if playgrounds i had any effect on juvenile delinquen cy. It was found that in areas oF the city affected iby playgrounds juve- ; nile crime had decreased seventy-five J percent in the three years since the playgrounds had bean opened. l > as:i ic N. J.. is threatening to close her juvenile court s nee th.* recreation department opened a recreation center for hoys. Fewer petty robberies and fewer people in the jails are the re suits of an evempg recreation center in Oxnard. Cal., according to the chief of police of that city. It seems that it’s cheaper taxes j for recreation th.n to buy camrner-' cial recreation, according to Mr. Las siter. The Civic Longue of Lexing ton, Ky., maintained seven play grounds for elev-n weeks last sum mer at a cost of two cents per child. The Community Service committee of Cinc'nnati estimates seven cents as per capita cost of the activities conducted in that city. These figur-s are very smal: compared with the estimated annual per capita cost of comn.eivial recrea tion which is $6.54. The sripcrinteml cut of Oakland, Cal., ins figure,] out the exact cost of city-furnished pla\ as follows: tennis, seven cents game; Lisoball, eight cents a game; swimming ten cents a swim; volley ball, three cents; golf, twenty-fiv< cents; dramatics, four cents and ap p i’tus play *or children one cent *.
