Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Play Movement and Its Significance The author´s aim in this volume has been to give a concrete picture of the extent of the development of play in this country, the sources from which the movement has sprung, and the direction in which it is going. The word "play" has been used in its broadest sense, as the effort has been to give a general picture of those movements which mean a better utilization of leisure time and an increase in the joy of life. Its main emphasis has been upon the play of children, but it deals also to a less degree with recreation for adults. It aims to show the place of school playgrounds, of the municipal playground, the park, and various commercial forms of recreation in a general scheme for a city. The contention is that with the proper development of play and social guidance in connection with various institutions, especially for children, these need not be dreary prisons, suppressing all the Joy in life and slaying the future by their routine, but that organized play can do more to correct the evils of institutional life than any other single agency. The facts brought forward seem to demonstrate that the providing of adequate facilities for the play of children and the recreation of adults does not necessarily make the city more expensive as a place of residence, but may often have the opposite effect, and may also be the chief cause of the growth of the city.
