opportunities for healtliful exercise, and I 

 am glad to say that a very marked im- 

 provement lias talien place along these 

 lines the last three years. In fact, it is 

 only within a few days I signed an order 

 creating the position of play leaders, and 

 there are now about a dozen young men 

 engaged in directing the play of the peo- 

 ple in the different sections of the city. 

 We have a municipal Athletic Association 

 of which I have been made the honorary 

 president, and if .vou were here for the 

 next few weeks you would be able to wit- 

 ness some of the best sports in the world 

 amouug youngsters of school age. It is my 

 intention, while I am mayor of the city, 

 to increase activities along these lines, par- 

 ticularl.v with a view to giving those who 

 work for a living a chance to develop out- 

 side working hours. This is a very impor- 

 tant phase of the public grounds life of 

 America, and while it has been neglected 

 in the past, I think its importance will 

 <'onimend Itself increasingly every year to 

 the public authorities."
