Excerpt from Evening Play Centres for Children: The Story of Their Origin and Growth

It is now twenty-two years since the first Play Centre was opened in England, at the newly-built Passmore Edwards Settlement in Tavistock Place. It began with a few score children coming after school hours, and on Saturday mornings for games, reading, painting, musical drill, and so on - amusements which a small Committee provided, by way of testing which might prove the stronger - the street habit of the St. Pancras school children living in the tenement houses of the district, or those simple but delightful attractions, occupations, and hobbies, which every well-to-do home, where children are loved and cared for, and there is some leisure and space, offers to its boys and girls, when school hours are over for the day.

Mrs. Trevelyan's book gives an account of the stages by which this small effort has grown into a movement which now bids fair, within a few years, to cover the whole country, so far at any rate as all the large centres of population are concerned. The question of rural Play Centres has still to be experimented with.
