The Board of Education co-operated to the extent of lending schoolyards.

Finally the Board of Education decided to vote an annual contribution of money.
In 1902 the city of Pittsburg woke up and gave the women fifteen hundred dollars, with which they established one more playground and a recreation park.

The original one hundred and twenty-five dollars had now expanded to nearly eight thousand dollars, and Pittsburg and Allegheny children were not only playing in a dozen schoolyards, but they were attending vacation schools, under expert instructors in manual training, cooking, sewing, art-crafts.

Several recreation centers, all-the-year-round playgrounds, have been added since then.

For Pittsburg has adopted the women's point of view in the matter of playgrounds.
