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. EcThe courses opened at the University of Georgia R Bummer School for the members of the P. T. A.
