AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PARK 

 SUPERINTENDENTS. 



As we go to press the park superin- 

 tendents are just coining to the close 

 of their annual meeting, which opened 

 at Harrisburg, Pa., on Tuesday, Aug. 

 9, and closes at Gettysburg tonight 

 (Aug. 11). The meeting convened at 

 9.30 a. m., Tuesday, in the parlors of 

 the Commonwealth Hotel. Secretary 

 F. L. Mulford read the minutes and 

 J. Horace McFarland was unanimous- 

 ly elected an honorary member. Pres- 

 ident W. S. Manning then addressed 

 the meeting, speaking enthusiastically 

 of the great park movement going on 

 all over the country. In speaking of 

 Harrisburg's progress in the develop- 

 ment of city parks. Mr. Manning 

 stated that the advancement has been 

 very pronounced in the matter of ap- 

 propriations, and for a city of its size 

 it is well up with the others in main- 

 taining a group of parks in which 

 every individual should be interested. 

 The eastern cities are far in the lead, 

 he said, but the developments in the 

 west are constantly growing. 



As Mayor Meals had not arrived to 

 accept his place on the program, Wil- 

 liam E. Bailey, of Harrisburg. ad- 

 dressed the convention, welcoming the 

 delegates to the city in behalf of the 

 Park Commission. 



J. B. Shea, assistant superintendent 

 of parks of Boston, responded and ad- 

 dressed the convention regarding the 

 real work of park superintendents. 

 He spoke of the estimation in which 

 park superintendents are held by the 

 average citizen, saying that they are 

 pictured as easy-living creatures, 

 whose chief and hardest work is 

 riding about in the fresh air — in other 

 words, "having an easy time of it." 

 But he was certain that all other su- 

 perintendents would agree with him 

 that it was one hard piece of work 

 and not easy in any respect. 



In the afternoon the visitors en- 

 joyed an auto tour of the parks and 

 other places of interest. 



The evening session was held at 

 Reservoir Park and papers were pre- 

 sented by W. H. Dunn of Kansas 

 City Parks on "The Latest Conclu- 

 sions About Road Surfaces," and by 

 J. Horace McFarland on "The Reason 

 for Parks." Further details in our 

 issue of next week. 



The attendance was very gratifying, 

 members being present from many 

 irarortant park centers from Omaha 

 and Topeka on the vest to Boston on 

 the east and from Ottawa on the 

 north to Washington, D. C, on the 

 south.
