Excerpt from The Playground Movement in America and Its Relation to Public Education
The rapid growth of towns and the immigration of large numbers of people who have not been accustomed to organise games may have made the problem more pressing in America than in this country. It has produced that intense use of the available opportunities which characterises the work of many of the large towns, and in particular has led to the special training of' play leaders.' The attention which is now being given to similar questions in this country leads the Board to hope that the publication of this paper may be of service to those who are considering the extension of the facilities for play both for children and for adults.
The author Of the report wishes to express his thanks to Mr. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education for the United States, and to the school authorities Of the cities visited through out the country, for their kind co-operation, and to the following persons for valuable assistance and hospitality: Dr. C. Ward Crampton, Rev. Roswell, Bates, Mr. Howard Braucher, and Mr. Bascom Johnson, Of New York; to Mr. Otto T. Mallery, of Philadelphia; Professor Graham Taylor and Mr. De Groot, of Chicago; Mr. George E. Johnson, of Pittsburgh Mr. Joseph Lee, of Boston; Mr. Edgar Martin, of Washington; and Mr. Dwight Meigs, of the Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
It will be understood that the Board do not necessarily endorse any Opinions which may be expressed in this paper For these the author is alone responsible.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents how the modern playground has developed from the late 19th century to present day. It explores the underlying philosophy of the playground movement and its impact on education. At the outset, playgrounds were simply outdoor spaces for children to congregate, but by the early 20th century, supervised play leaders were introduced. Soon after, the playground transformed into a hub for wider recreation activities and social gatherings for all ages. The author draws a comparison to schools with their extensive resources, arguing they're ideally placed to fulfill both recreation and social welfare functions. The book concludes by examining the role of playgrounds in the development of urban communities and their ultimate significance in shaping the lives of children and their families.
