perintendents and civic associations inter- 
ested in playground improvements can get 
blue-prints and specifications by writing di- 
rect to The Stewart Iron Works Co., Cin- 
cinnati, 0., who are prepared to furnish 
this design of fence as well as many other 
equally suitable designs. 
We have in previous issues of Park and 
Cemetery given special attention to play- 
ground study in the hope that it wo'dd be 
of interest and benefit to those who are 
taking up the playground movement in 
their community. It is very opportune to 
show a design of iron fence especially 
suitable for an enclosure, since it is evi- 
dent that every playground should be 
“fenced in,” not only to safeguard the chil- 
dren at play, but to bring the improvement 
up to the highest standard of civic pride. 
The Stewart Iron Works Co. is giving 
special attention to designing appropriate 
iron fence to especially meet this condi- 
tion. They have the experience, the tech- 
nical knowledge and machinery necessarv
