Book Description
Excerpt from It Is to Laugh: A Book of Games and Stunts Amos R. Wells said, Recreation is re-creation, or a re-fashioning of the soul in the image of God wherein it was created. Real recreation is just that. All through the war every effort was made to fill the leisure time of soldiers and sailors with recreation rather than dissipation, the kind of recreation that made leisure time an asset rather than a liability. Since the war, with the great impetus it gave the movement, recreation work in churches, in communities, in schools, and in almost every kind of social service work, has been put on the same construc tive basis, and it is being looked upon not merely as a side issue or as entertainment, but rather is re spected as one of the most vital forces for a re-fashion ing of souls in the image of God wherein they were created.

Book Description
Excerpt from In and Out Door Games With Suggestions for Entertainments Wellington's famous statement that the battle of Waterloo was first won on Eton playground has been often quoted, but not every one realises how essentially play is youth's rehearsal for the acts of mature life. A boy that is earnest in play is apt to be earnest in work, and games of skill aid much in his development. They quicken the perceptive faculties, sharpen the wits, increase the imaginative powers, and social games that involve intelligence and information stimulate ambition to excel in these lines.
