| “...from an
educational standpoint Boston easily leads in the playground
movement. ... it is safe to predict that with Mr. Joseph Lee,
“Father of the American Playground”, a member of the
Boston School Board...[we] will be sure to make Boston the model
which our other American cities will do well to copy.”

“We went outside to measure the schoolyard so we could
see how much space we have for equipment. When we measured we
had to measure the basketball court because we need a new basketball
court. Also we had to spray paint the ground and used chalk.
Beofre we did this, we played a game of kickball to see how
far we kicked the ball.”
