Excerpt from Games for Boys
Today there is a wide-spread and very whole some interest in recreation. No longer is the problem that of stirring up the interest of the American people. They already have it. The need now is for a varied and attractive recreation program. We need original suggestions and pro grams that are practicable, clearly defined, and easily understood and adaptable to the great out doors. We have been inclined in the past to do too much indoors. We must try all that we can to cultivate a love on the part of the American youth for out-of-door life.
Our games must be simple, happy, social, and yet physically active. We must find activities adaptable to age, strength, and sex. We must learn how to handle large numbers. Our games must not be over-fatiguing. They must have rich psychological content so that they will be in tensely interesting and compelling. We need those forms of physical entertainment which te quire very little in the way of equipment.
