OUTLINES FOR JOHNSON’S " EDUCATION BY PLAYS
AND GAMES." nmo, paper, 12 pages, 10 cents
Man plays only when he is a human being in the fullest sense of the
word, and has reached full maturity only when he plays.—Schiller
T) ECOGNIZING its powerful influence for good in various
direc-tions, educators are giving increasing attention to play.
Perhaps no educator is better fitted to write a book on play than
Superintendent Johnson, who has made a special study of the subject
for many years, and whose work in the schools and recreation grounds
has given him a splendid equipment of practical experience.
" Education by Plays and Games " presents a curriculum of plays
and games graded from mere infancy to the middle teens, and analyzes
them to show the chief mental and physical activities developed by
each. There is a discussion of the meaning of play, of the relation
of play to work, and of the history of play and its application to
education.
The games were chosen from a thousand or more, and their number
and careful grading form one of the strongest features of the book.
Each one has been given place in accordance with the needs of the
child.
Excellent illustrations, nearly all being photographs, clearly
demonstrate the different plays described.
