OUR SUMMER MEETING 
The summer meeting, as an- 
nounced last month will be held in 
Fort Atkinson. The dates are 
August 19th and 20th. 
The program so far as arranged 
is as follows : — 
Tuesday Forenoon, August 19th 
Country parks or Recreation 
Centers. 
This is Prof. Aust’s hobby and 
he will lead the discussion. 
Until now parks have been con- 
sidered as belonging wholly to 
cities. Why should this be so ? 
Country boys and girls are com- 
ing to depend more and more on the 
city for their amusements. The
