PLAY AND PROGRESS
Tdln Johnson of Cleveland once said that when he
died 4ie would prefer to have a children's playground
abovj his grave rather than have the space occupied
by a-monument. lie liked to think of the children
playRg there happily. Impracticable as his pro
posal would be, generally applied, it was yet a vivid
way ®f indicating how devotedly he believed in the
t: rightjof children to play.
Today no community can call itself progressive if
f it fails to provide for the recreational life of its peo-
[ pie. * Playgrounds and community centers are social
and business assets. When business affaire permit a
I choitjp, parent" move to communities which have
- wholtsopic play influences for their children, where
thora arc playgrounds with trained leaders, where
[' ther# is community music, social centers and
amateur athletic sports.
Modern conditions make special thought and
planktg for recreation imperative. In cities and
largest owns where most of America now lives, crowd-
[ ed h»mes, traffic-laden streets, haste, artificiality—
I all discourage outdoor play anil sociability. In small
towns and In the country, indifference and lack of
[ trained leadership and of facilities often permit
young people to drif into unwholesome pleasures
while their native talents for constructive recreation
j V go unexpressed. The phonograph, the raido and
if the movie give.pleasure, to be sure, and aie marks
’ of progress. But these things arc entertainment
passively enjoyed. They are not an adequate sub
stitute fer recreation which recreates.
Wise communities are providing for active and
■ spontaneous play. According to the Playground and
Recreation Association of America 216 cities and
townp in America in 1922 reported year-round re-
, creation for their people under trained, leadership.
I Not iSfew of these communities have a population of
8,000 to 10,000 only, showing thnt cities and towns
of mbderate ‘size elm adequately support a recreation
program. Waiter Camp, nr.ted exponent of amateur
athletics, wrote recently, “A community that is not
planning intelligently for the play life and physical
well-being of its people is short-sighted and improvi
dent from both the humanitarian nnd business point
of view, In the long run it is bound' to fall behind
more enterprising communities.”
Is ii not time that Athens moved up among the
progressive communities of America by providing
adequately for public recreation?
YOUR CO-OP.
Yoy remember the good old days when you could
buy a-sfine meal for a quarter. Tho army is (Joing
; » bettedthau thut. ft will feed each of the 80,000
r young-anon who attend the Citizen’s Military Train-.
> ing Cainps this summer at a cost of 70 cents a day for
ill tee meals. • ' '
Thcquartermater general says he could give them
jf the.regular army chuck at 40 cents a day apiece. But
tin additional 25 cents has been provided, to furnish
fancy cats, Btich as the 90,000 mny happen to be ac-
customed to in civilian life.
Each man daily will get, in addition to the regula
tion menu, a pint of fresh milk or buttermilk, a sal
ad for dinner, and cereal and fresh fruit lor break-
fa: i. These four items alone would cost 70 cents or
J to the average restaurant, _ . .
To the person who cats |n rfcstaurnnfc or does the
■ket-basket shopping for a family, the low. cost of
ling the army is the eighth wonder of the world.
And yet it’s a marvel! only by contrast.
In the first place, the army gets the advantage of
co-operative buying—big * orders, at wholesale
ices.
ien, comparing with restaurant prices antUman-
mt: The restaurant has high, overhead which
rmy in most cas.es. avoidsr-rhigh rents, insurance,
ompulsory charitable donations, kitchen waste,
in the army would be punished, higher-priced
“help”,' cost of soliciting business, more fragile equip
ment, and probably the expenses of orchestra or oth
er alluring entertainment.
The re.itnurunt man will ppint out that one of the
most vital of these items is that the army’s "70 cents
8 day per man” doesn’t include any labor charges.
Isolution of certain phases of the high cost of
living may be in army organization. For instance,
it 26 or &0 families in a neighborhood standardized
their meals and clubbed together to buy their tup-
pli i co-operatively, they could get wholesale prices,
or nearly so.
i Some visionaries have even predicted a day when
cooking will be a community job. Meals would be
prepared at a certain number of branch stations and
carried home by the housewives or delivered to them
^in thermos boxes. Enough variety, of coarse, to per-
■'t, “ wide selection. The bakery idea, explained'
^■hd-focializcd.
These municipal kitchens may be visionary. But
■ the idea of co-operative buying is practicable. When
■Such ventures 'fail, it is usually due to defective or-*
■ ganization and peanut politics.
