PREFER STREET GAMES
A PLAYGROUND PROBLEM. That children were “far more thrilled” by playing in the streets than, in recreation grounds was the contention of Dr. A. L. Ormerod, Public Hea.th Officer at Oxford, when he addressed the Oxford Rotary Club recently. It was not going to be at all easy, he said, to get them off the streets into pbvgroitnds. “I saw a. child sitting in a. motor tyro in the middle of a street, while ’buses camo to a standstill within m inch of him.” said Dr. Ormerod. “The conductor had jto get down and move him before a ’bus could pricked, ilns was much more fun than playing on a recreation ground in one of Oxford s slum districts.”
