cannot resch rest thlnas. On the thoutM
of -The Ocepel of ril- Mr- Enllsh
Says:
fpntlrurtlve piiMIe opinion starts Its
campaign with it 1P valiant belief
In r'sy. In season and out of reason It
prearhea tlie irospel of play-an ample op
portunity of wholesome pleasure for ev
ery man, woman and child In every home,
More ani raciory in umni, nun ine ,
r.ieana of enjoying- K- to the full at least
one eVery week. The gospel of play la
the beginning of wisdom In thla whnio
matter of recreation.
"Man mlnda In Omaha have mln'.inder
stood or denied the Importance of play,
and looked upon It a more or less per
missible am. rather than as a natural
right, and beautiful expression of the hu
man aplrlt. Thla tragic misconception hai
made our people alow In rallslne; our
obligation to the young people of our city.
It la well to believe In play, for the love
of It leapa up Inatlnctlvely In every nor
mal being. Whatever one doea for the
pure love of It, that la play. It la more
instinctive than work and not a whit leaa
Important.
' ' I.Ike Plarleaa life.
"A. playlet city would be no more ab
normal than a playleaa life. Day la for
childhood the shining irate that open
wide to life, to sociability, endurance, co
operation, natural growth and the sub
ordination of one's own dpslrra to com
mon enda. Tt la well to believe In play,
for morality and play grow up together
like joyous children when play la epon
taneous, tinbought and rl an. America, be
lievea In play, and Omaha as a city at
heart believes in play and haa taken a
decided step forward In creating a rec
reational department.
"The question at Issue Is the sort of
play and In which she believes the sort of
recreation which are to posess her lei
sure hours. These will shape her clvlo
character. Can ahe be led to believe com
pletely In wholesome play? Constructive
public opinion eets itself to produce the
affirmative answer.
'"Perhaps tho most fundamental and en
during of, all solutions of this problem
lies. In a c,Hy-wlde adoption of the gospel
of wholesome play, in the full develop
ment of a comprehensive recreational
problem that will, be so far-reaching that
every man, woman or child who desires
wholesome recreation can gratify that
wish. Constructive public opinion begin
1U crucade with the gospel of play."..
