HE GAVE CHILDREN
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE
The public playground is ho common a feature of the
modern city that it i hard to realise that it it* .still a fairly
yotifchful institution. It is actually only a little more than
one (feneration since the first playgrounds were estab-
lished.
This is called to mind by the fact that July 28 has
bet'n designated "Rational Joseph Lee Day" by the Na-
tional Recreation Association, with the indorsement of
President Roosevelt. And if you don't know who Joseph
Lee was, it might be worth your while to find out.
Joseph Lee was a wealthy Bostonian, the son of an
aristocratic banker. Graduating from Harvard in the
1800'a, he decided that he had all the money he would ever
need and that he would devote his life and his fortune to
the promotion of play and recreation.
He came to this decision in an odd way. He read in
his paper, one day, about a group of Boston boys being ar-
rested for playing in the streets. It was an every-day oc-
currence, of course; but, as he said, "To me it was as if
those boys had been arrested for living." So he decided
to do something about it.
Do something he did; and that "something" was a
driving, unceasing campaign to persuade people to provide
play space for children. He made an elaborate study of
the causes of juvenile delinquency, helped develop a model
playground in Boston, helped to organize the Playground
Association of America, devoted years of his life to its
survive—ana, ail in all, gave some $860,000 of his own
money to farther the cause.
It would be a great exaggeration, of course, to say
that Joseph Lee was solely responsible for the develop-
ment of the public playground. But it is indisputable that
he was responsible in a very large part, and that a gseat
many thousands of children have had decent room to play
in which they would not have had if Joseph l^ee had not
Mved.
We don't build monuments to men like that, or devote
whole chapters of our history books to them. It might be
a good thing if we did. For Joseph Lee's capacity for get-
ting indignant over wrongs which were done—not to him-
self, but to other people—is one of the finest and most
valuable traits the human race develops.
The industrial city of the late nineteenth century, with
few parks and iw> playgrounds, with mile on mile of con-
gested housing, inflicted a very great wrong on millions of
people. It wasn't directly, any of Joseph Lee's business;
but because he had that priceless capacity for getting mad
over somebody else's troubles, he made it his business—
and ¿lid a great deal to right the wrong.
There are still, heaven knows, plenty of similar
wrongn to be righted. They will get righted only as we
develop and exercise that same capacity for selfless indig-
nation. "v

• Being Governor need not be too serious a job. If a
man goes into the office obligated to no one but a good
clean conscience and a desire to work hard, his duties
should not j e trying to perform. A little rhythm in his
system should help.
As individuals, it might not hurt us to adhere a little
closer to the O'Daniel platform: "The Ten Command-
ment ."
