Excerpt from Leisure-Time Activities of Rural Children in Selected Areas of West Virginia
The rural child is often far removed from playmates except those he sees during school hours. Farm life makes demands on the time of children and adults alike. It is probable that real planning is necessary in many farm homes to give children the needed amount of leisure at the proper time and to provide for the wisest use of that leisure.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the leisure activities of rural children in different parts of the United States. The author collected data through interviews with school children, as well as leaders in their communities. They found that many children had limited leisure time due to household chores, but those that did have more free time often spent it playing with friends or participating in church or school clubs. The author argues that despite the challenges faced, rural children exhibited a strong sense of community and resourcefulness in creating their own forms of entertainment and recreation. The book concludes that a variety of factors, including family environment, proximity to town, and local customs, shape the recreational opportunities available to rural children and their preferences for spending their free time.
