The sessions were held in Giles Hall and many of the students resided on the campus. Copies of the magazine of the National Recreation Association are to be found in the Magazine Room of Atlanta University Library. The following account of the na ture and origin of this association may be of interest: The National Recreational Association was established in 1906 in Washington, D. C., by Dr. Gulic of Boston, Massachusetts, for the purpose of securing adequate play and rec reational facilities for communities, and of providing them with yearly programs, and trained leadership. The Association is supported by private subscriptions which run into millions of dollars annually. A spirit of good will seems to be the largest factor prompting these tremendous gifts. Play activities are stimulated by the members, among the people of the United States, without regard to race, age or sex. The membership fee is $5.00 per year. During the world war the “War Camp Community Service” rendered an untold amount of service to the Negroes in war camps. As a result of this splendid co operation the Bureau of Colored Work was established about 1018. This Bureau is rap idly increasing the number of Negroes who are actually qualified for this professional service, as recreational directors, and ad ministrators. These workers are trained in the National Recreational Institute, which is under the immediate supervision of Mr. E. T. Atwell, Field Director of the Bureau of Colored Work. This Institute is held annually for the purpose of training work ers among colored people. Its chief object is to prepare persons to meet the problems peculiar to Negro communities. Mr. Atwell is assisted by experts in the field of recrea tion. Atlanta was fortunate in having a session of the National Recreation Association in the summer of 1933. Progressive Education In the Progressive Education School, which was a feature of Atlanta University Summer School, several things were em phasized in every activity of the children; that is things in their experiences that inter ested and concerned them. There was real democracy in the classroom; everybody’s opinion was respected; criticisms were im personal but made one think before he spoke. Unselfishness was one of the qualities that was taught and practiced. Time was too valuable to waste; the care of materials was significant, also the cost of materials. The school included kindergarten, first, fourth, and sixth grades. The children did Four H Club of Eulton County Another of the summer activities was the Short Session for the 4 IT Club Girls of Fulton County under the direction of Miss Camilla Weems, a former student at Spel man. Miss Weems is Assistant State Agent of Negro Work in Co-operative Extension Work in Agriculture and Home Economics in the State of Georgia. There were in at tendance about one hundred fifteen girls ranging in age from ten to twenty years. They were a business-like group engaged in sewing, cooking, hiking, singing and in learn ing to live up to the standards of the club. A few girls finished the course, some with distinction. Two rooms of Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Building were used as laboratory space by the group and More house South Hall as dormitory.
