Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Playground, Vol. 7: To Promote Normal Wholesome Play and Public Recreation; April, 1913 The Aims of Education are noble manhood and womanhood and efficient civic and social service. Nothing is worth knowing that ends in the knowing. No truth is worth searching for simply for the truth, - like money, knowledge and truth are valuable only through their use. Play is capable of contributing much to the conservation of physical and intellectual vigor and alertness, to industrial, social and moral efficiency, - indeed nothing else taught in the schools bears more directly upon one´s prosperity, efficiency and nobility than does play when it is utilized to the full. Success in the largest sense is making the best use of one´s possibilities, individually and as related to others. Individual records and team work must both be reckoned with in the estimate of efficiency. Nothing signifies so much in school in both these regards as does play at its best. Health at its best requires recreation. Mental vigor and alertness require the best conditions. Play puts the body and mind at concert pitch. Industrially recreation has high cash value. Frederick W. Taylor in his marvellous work through administrative efficiency demonstrated scientifically that an unskilled laborer could load upon a platform freight car 47 tons of 92 pound pigs of iron easier than he could 12 tons per day if he rested half the time in carrying each pig. If he carried half pigs (46 pounds) he needed to rest only quarter of the time. Every size piece of iron has its scientific demand for rest, - so industrially, everywhere, in every way, recreation is indispensable for efficiency. Socially, play, team work, is of inestimable service to the individual and to society. Play must as a whole provide for Diversity, Intensity, Skill, Grace.
