should not be storming Robinson Gymmasium and waiting around where men dress and
exercise. It gives them the wrong perspective. There is hardly an afternoon or
evening that a large group of juveniles do not invade the gymmasium. Por What?
For a chance to play basketball, It has even been imown that they break into
the gymmasium to play. When the attendants and janitors run the small boye from
one floor ‘they go to the next. When they are run off the other one they move
out but they are found in another. part of the building. No one desires to be
unfriendly or out of sympathy with these little fellows, They are not pexmitted
in the Community Building where basketball g0als are installed. They want a
place to play. if the school buildings were opened the gymmasium in that enkoat
building would be their “home room", so to speak. It would be more than that.
It would be their rendevouz. Instend of thinking of the drudgery of study, they
would think of the joy of play and naturally grades would come up because they
would associate the building with a place t6 play as well as a place to work.
And play ana work, neasurably proportioned, is the prescription for you and for
me « for your child and my child. :

- Thank you.
