Excerpt from Character Through Recreation This book is issued by the American Sunday-School Union under the John C. Green Income Fund. It won the first prize offered for the best manuscript on the subject of Amusements: How Can They Be Made to Promote the Highest Well-Being of Society? The provisions of the fund authorize the Union to choose the subject, - which must always be germane to the object of the Society, - and by owning the copyright, to reduce the price of the book. In this way, works of a high order of merit may be put into circulation at a reasonable price. The author is given large liberty in the literary form, style and treatment of the subject. This book treats a theme of universal interest to church and Sunday-school workers, parents and teachers. It will be specially valued by those who, in constantly increasing numbers, are devoting themselves to developing the play life of the nation. The author brings to his task a wide acquaintance with what is being written on the subject in current book and periodical literature, together with extensive personal observation of the effect of amusements, especially upon the life of young people. While clearly pointing out the dangers and evils connected with modern amusements, his book is not destructive but constructive. Its aim, as its title suggests, is to show how the play life of the nation may be made an important factor in promoting moral as well as physical health.

Excerpt from Recreation: Its Character Building Influence, Its Part in the Community Life Bhind every activity of the Recreation Department stands the guiding hands of professionally trained leaders. This somewhat intangible quality is in part inherent and partly gained through intensive study and wide experience. A recreation setup may be very rich as a physical plant such as well-equipped community centers, playgrounds and swimming pools; these features are very important in a well-rounded program but unless they are supervised and directed by persons who have the philosophy of recreation the objectives will not be realized. Recreation leadership has become a profession. A vast body of literature, both technical and for the layman, has been written. The fast pace of modern living with the many complexities which it has brought about has created problems which were unknown a few years ago. The minds of individuals of all ages must be directed into healthy channels during their free hours. Recreation Leaders the country over noticing this, are directing their programs to this aim. While it is true the colleges and universities each year are giving more ade quate training to recreation leaders, it is equally true that as a profession recrea tion leaders face the necessity of continuous training by staff members while in service. Professional growth in a marked degree inevitably results from carefully organized and wisely guided committee work. This is accomplished by the dime? Tors' meetings, the training courses and the development of a directors' hand book with its rich opportunity for work in the field of program planning and leadership. Conferences - local, district and regional, are sources for professional growth and inspiration. Continuous reading and study of recreational publications afford opportunity for development. The Recreation Training Institute held in San Francisco in March, 1938, was conducted by the National Recreation Association, in collaboration with the Recreation Commission. The purpose was to present new. Interpretations of objectives in recreation; to establish high standards of execution in leisure time guidance; to introduce a fresh viewpoint in recreation workers and to help them increase their skills in conducting activities.

Excerpt from Character Education in Summer CampsThe organized summer camp is the most important step in education that America has given the world.The first summer camp is supposed to have been founded in 1861 by Ernest B. Balch? Who realized the possibilities of developing boy character through wholesome outdoor life and recreation. A decade ago the value of the summer camp as an educational institution began to be recognized as distinct from its recreational values. Since that time the use of the term education has broadened to include both recreation and character development, and has become synonymous With the processes of life itself. Only recently, however, has camping been thoroughly criticized and evaluated in the light of modern educational objectives and methods.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Sports and Pastimes of American Boys: A Guide and d104-Book of Games of the Play-Ground, the Parlor, and the Field, Adapted Especially for American Youth OW that the spirit of the age favors the plan of a judicious combination of physical recreation with mental culture, it is timely to prepare a text-book of sports and pastimes for boys, which will best tend to promote this system of paying due attention to physical as well as mental education. An old writer says, Let me make the songs of a people, and I care not who makes their laws. This rule is as applicable to the structure of the sports of a people as it is to the com position of their songs. The pastimes of boys of all nations partake largely of the peculiar character of the people whose youth engage in them. The boys of a war like nation find their chief recreation in sports in which feats of brutal courage, and of endurance of fatigue and pain, are marked characteristics. On the other hand, the youths of a peaceful people enjoy those pastimes best which most com pare in their character with the national life of their progenitors. Differences in climate necessarily have their relation to the character of national sports but it is more in the essential character of the people themselves that their national pastimes differ, and this is especially noticeable in the receative sports of boys. It is in this respect that the games of American boyhood are different, as a rule, from those of English youths. Of course, there is a certain degree of similarity in most of them, arising from their English origin but there is scarcely an imported game that is at all open to improvement, which has not of late years been essentially Americanized witness the evolution of our manly national game of base-ball from the old English schoolboy game of Rounders.

Excerpt from A Consideration of the Justifying Value of a Public Park: Prepared at the Request of the American Social Science Association, and Read at Its Meeting in Saratoga, 1880 UR large town parks are public trusts, so loosely defined as to fix no clear limits to the use which may be legitimately or honorably made of the lands, materials, funds, or Official influence, which belong to them. The most essential duty under them may be neglected with out wreck of character or sense of shame. To say as to any point in question of their manage ment it is a matter of taste, generally means that every trustee is as to that point a law unto himself. This paper, which touches the question of a possible basis of stricter accountability, has been printed in the Journal of the American Social Science Association, but with such errors, owing to a miscarriage of proofs, that I wish to Offer corrected copies to those having a special interest in the topic discussed. The feeling which has lately been evinced against plans urged by able and worthy men for subverting the most important features of the Central Park of New York by buildings, roads, walks, and decorative garden-work suitable to a world's fair ground, and a growing dislike shown elsewhere to the introduction of objects and methods of decoration in public grounds thought to be incongruous with their character, may be hoped to indicate a ripening of public Opinion favorable to the ends of the paper. A bill has just been introduced in the Legislature of New York by Senator Astor, entitled An Act to Define and Limit the Uses of Public Parks, which declares that all properties so classed under the laws of the State, when exceeding 100 acres in extent, are intended and shall be appropriated for the recreation of the people by means of their rural, sylvan, and natural scenery and character, that they must be used and managed in accordance with this definition and that no ground in them shall be appropriated or used in such a manner as to lessen their value and advantages for such recreation.

The work consisted of lectures and class-meetings similar 'in character to those of resident teaching. It was thought that only groups of persons definitely organized for serious study-could be benefited. The expression carry the university to the people was given a limited and a literal interpretation. The recent growth and development of extension work has been, however, the result of a more liberal understanding, namely, that of public service. The character of the service is determined by the functions of the university and by the demands of the communities within the commonwealth sup porting the university.

Excerpt from Jordan Lake State Recreation Area General Management Plan The B. Everett Jordan Dam and Lake project encompasses federally owned acres located near the eastern edge of a region of rolling hills known as the Piedmont plateau. Almost all of the project acreage is leased to the state. The leased acreage is managed by three state agencies the Wildlife Resources Commission, the Division of Forest Resources, and the Division of Parks and Recreation (dpr). Dpr manages approximately acres of land at nine sites located along the shore of the - acre lake. These sites comprise the state recreation area and provide public access to the lake for water-based recreational activities. Approximately 150 miles of shoreline are created by the lake at a water level of 216 feet above mean sea level. The lake's shoreline is characterized by gentle hills and forested areas of second growth pine and hardwoods. The impounded waters are part of the Haw River sub-basin of the Cape Fear River basin. The drainage area above the dam covers a square mile drainage area. Lake waters extend five miles up the Haw River, a swiftly moving river having a narrow valley and a steep stream gradient, and 17 miles up the New Hope River, a slow-moving river with a wider flood plain and gentle stream gradient. When the lake was filled in 1981, the project area and its surroundings were generally rural in character. Today the lake is surrounded by the major urban areas of Raleigh and Cary to the east and Durham and Chapel Hill to the north. These urban areas are steadily growing towards the lake, and this growth is increasingly changing the area's rural character. Many subdivisions have been or are being constructed near the lake, and commercial development continues as well.
