Excerpt from What to Do at Recess
Once upon a time the citizens of a certain city were greatly interested in the nurture and training of children, and when the question arose as to whether they should build a great public school or Open a playground, it was decided to Open a playground. Now it came to pass, in the course of years, that the citizens of that city advanced so far beyond the rest of the human race that, in all the centuries since, the nations that have gone on building public schools and neglecting to open playgrounds have not been able to catch up with them even to this day.
