Download or read book Recreation and the Church Classic Reprint written by Herbert Wright Gates and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreation and the Church There is no more potent influence or favorable approach to the inner life of childhood and youth than is found in recreational interests and activities. Play, games, athletic sports, are not merely ad junots to a religious educational program, baits to interest, or preventives of less desirable occupations. They are the open door to the real boy, the real girl, and they furnish the best of opportunities for direct as well as indirect moral and religious training. The church that fails to take account of, and to use to the best advantage, these means of reaching the children and youth misses an important part Of its opportunity. It is with the hope of aiding those who desire to increase their effectiveness in this field that this book has been written. The attempt has been made to present only such principles as have stood the test of experience and ideals that have been more or less fully realized in practical work. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebted ness to the many who have aided him with informa tion and suggestions. The chapter on Some Typical Church Programs would have been im possible without the letters from those mentioned therein, giving the results of their own experience. Special acknowledgment is due to Rev. J. W. F. Davies, of Community House, Winnetka, Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Recreation written by San Francisco Recreation Commission and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreation: Its Character Building Influence, Its Part in the Community Life Bhind every activity of the Recreation Department stands the guiding hands of professionally trained leaders. This somewhat intangible quality is in part inherent and partly gained through intensive study and wide experience. A recreation setup may be very rich as a physical plant such as well-equipped community centers, playgrounds and swimming pools; these features are very important in a well-rounded program but unless they are supervised and directed by persons who have the philosophy of recreation the objectives will not be realized. Recreation leadership has become a profession. A vast body of literature, both technical and for the layman, has been written. The fast pace of modern living with the many complexities which it has brought about has created problems which were unknown a few years ago. The minds of individuals of all ages must be directed into healthy channels during their free hours. Recreation Leaders the country over noticing this, are directing their programs to this aim. While it is true the colleges and universities each year are giving more ade quate training to recreation leaders, it is equally true that as a profession recrea tion leaders face the necessity of continuous training by staff members while in service. Professional growth in a marked degree inevitably results from carefully organized and wisely guided committee work. This is accomplished by the dime? Tors' meetings, the training courses and the development of a directors' hand book with its rich opportunity for work in the field of program planning and leadership. Conferences - local, district and regional, are sources for professional growth and inspiration. Continuous reading and study of recreational publications afford opportunity for development. The Recreation Training Institute held in San Francisco in March, 1938, was conducted by the National Recreation Association, in collaboration with the Recreation Commission. The purpose was to present new. Interpretations of objectives in recreation; to establish high standards of execution in leisure time guidance; to introduce a fresh viewpoint in recreation workers and to help them increase their skills in conducting activities.

Download or read book An Americanization Program in Education and Recreation Classic Reprint written by Philip Louis Seman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Americanization Program in Education and Recreation The districts into which our former neighbors have moved are approximately three and a half to five miles from the Institute respectively; one is the great Lawndale District, with an approximate Jewish population of the other is the Northwest Side, with an approximate Jewish population of These districts have grown, particularly the Lawndale District, in so rapid a fashion that it was most difficult to keep up with its growth. In that section of the city as well as on the Northwest Side, but particularly in the Lawndale District, there is practically no facility provided for the expression of the people who live there. There is no institution to meet the perfectly natural demand of an outlet for the residents along social, recreational and intellectual lines, outside of a number of Talmud Torahs that have been established to meet the purely religious needs of the community, and the children have no avenue of self-expression sufficient for their purpose. The young men and the young women are likewise placed in an embarrassing position and have to find avenues of recreation and social contacts which very often lead into dangerous channels. These are no theories. The statements which I have made are based upon facts - facts that unfortunately stare us in the face and cause us to be ashamed of our neglect. In the Juvenile Court, the Boy's Court, and other socialized courts in our city, where formerly it was the pride of the Jew to be able to state that as far as he was concerned these courts might never have been, today he finds himself in a position of having to bend the head in shame and to face daily, upon visitation in these same courts, the call from the daily docket of the Goldsteins and the Bernsteins in much larger numbers than is at all necessary; and all, in my opinion, because the community was nearsighted and negligent and did not. Provide the necessary social machinery to give these boys who today are 18, 20 and 25 years of age the chance, ten years ago, to function as normal children should, so that they consequently found their own methods of social contact, with these consequent results. We must, as a matter of duty, self-respect and decency, not keep our eyes shut longer to this serious situation, but immediately arouse in the community the consciousness which may result in the gathering of a sufficiently large sum of money to make it possible for our institution to develop and extend its sphere of usefulness into the Lawndale District and the Northwest Side. Our present departments may still continue to function as heretofore. Our Gymnasium, which is one of the finest in the country, and today would probably cost half a million dollars to reproduce, will always be an attraction to the young men and the young women, no matter where they may be living. Our playgrounds, during the summer, will serve a much-needed outlet for the immediate neighbors. Our milk station may continue to function as it has in the past. A number of educational activities may be continued to serve those among our people who still live in the neighborhood and who probably will be here for some time to come; and therefore in our plan it would be wise not to spend a large sum of money on our present site, but rather to put up a modest structure, not to exceed that may house our administration and such other educational and social needs as may be found necessary. The Branch of the Public Library which we have been housing for years may likewise find adequate place in this building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Park and Recreation Study: Washington, North Carolina In the overall comprehensive development of the urban center, the necessity of open space and recrea tion facilities, two fundamental elements essential in a decent and desirable living environment, finally has been recognized. The importance these elements have to our future and our children's future has been studied and restudied such that recreation no longer has a back seat in society's needs. However, it may be ex post facto to emphasize the importance of inaugurating a strong recreational pro gram for the City of Washington, North Carolina. Today, the need for recreational facilities has been recognized by both the general citizenry and the political leaders of the community. On the other hand, too often a polit ical entity approaches a recreation program with the concept of only satisfying the recreational demands made by the local residents. Historically, this has been a mistake. Often, by the time a proposed program has been completed, it is usually outdated. This is because some group lacked enough forethought to antici pate change based on all the determinants that depict recreation. Optimistically, this will not be the case here.
