Ihe lirst mistake was in locating the new school in town instead of in the country and because property values were high, they bought too little space for the schoolyard. At the ^country school ' there was a play-' ground with trees to climb, a little "stream on which Bill could build mud dams, and a sand-lot baseball diamond. At the new school the playyard is covered with asphalt and is much too small for the several hundred children who use it. In place of trees to climb there is a steel jungle gym. But Bill finds playing on an, asphalt playyard pretty dull and now spends his noon hour at the drug-, store across the street drinking pop and reading the comic books.
The second mistake was in locating the school on the busiest street in the county where the traffic hazard is serious and the noise of passing trucks often interferes with school activities.
