Book Description
Excerpt from Development of a Leisure-Time Program in Small Cities and Towns For many years great interest has been shown in providing facilities for wholesome play for children. More recently this interest has been extended to leisure-time programs that include recreational, educational, and cul tural activities for all members of the family. It is not only in the larger cities - where programs under trained leadership have been provided at playgrounds and community centers for the recreation of people of all ages - that this interest has found expression; in many towns and smaller centers intelligent Cooperation has made it possible to enrich the leisure of the people through greater use of the leadership and facilities at hand. In any city or town a number of different agencies or organizations will be found that are interested in the recreational needs of a particular group or, in some instances, of the city or town as a whole. These organizations represent a wide variety of social interests and include schools, churches, civic and community organizations, club groups of all types - especially those organized on a national basis - settlements, social groups, and special groups concerned primarily with the development of recreational activities and facilities. Any community plan must take into consideration the serv ices and programs of these organizations in order that there will not be a duplication of work and that effort will be directed to the aspects of an adequate leisure-time program that have heretofore been most neglected.
