From the Foreword: THE program of the modern forward-looking church, school or community includes the recreational and social as well as the distinctively educational in its plans and activities. Such a plan recognizes the significant truth that the proper use of leisure time is fully as important a problem in present-day society as the profitable use of work time. It acknowledges that the play and recreational interests often afford the most favorable approach to youth, and one of the surest anchorages? by which to hold its young members from drifting away. Hence such new vocations within the church and community as "Director of Recreational Activities" and "Club Leader." Many of those who have assumed responsibility either professionally or in an amateur way for this phase of social enterprises have felt the need of a> compilation of suitable games, plays, etc., for use by different ages and different kinds of groups. Various books have been published in this field, some dealing chiefly with matters of theory, organization, and the like, and others outlining programs for certain special occasions. What has been lacking is a rich compendium of games, plays and social recreations so classified and described that leaders may with economy of time and effort build balanced programs from these materials suited to every possible occasion.
