Excerpt from Play and Recreation, for the Open Country I was led to undertake the preparation of this book by a suggestion that came to me from Dr. A. E. Winship of the New England Journal of Education while I was lecturing and conducting some play demonstrations at the normal school at Kearney, Nebraska. The suggestions here made have since been tried at many normal schools and rural teachers' institutes. I am much indebted to the following associations and persons for their kindness in loaning pictures for the book: The Playground and Recreation Association of America; the Boy Scouts of America; the Camp Fire Girls; Mr. O. H. Benson of the United States Department of Agriculture; The Agricultural College, Stillwater, Oklahoma; Miss Nina B. Lamkin; Young Women's Christian Association, St. Louis, Missouri; Mr. W. Francis Hyde, Worcester, Massachusetts; Reverend Frederick Hollister, North Stonington, Connecticut; Mr. John Staples, Houston, Texas; and President John Kirk of the Normal School, Kirksville, Missouri.

Excerpt from Education Through Play When the author began this work, it was with the intention of treating the entire subject in a single volume, but as the book began to take shape, it became evident that the material in hand was too manifold to be treated satisfactorily in a book of the size that would be appreciated by the reading public.

Excerpt from Education by Plays and Games The study of which this book is a revision was begun at Clark University and published in the Pedagogical Seminary in 1894. Since then the writer has been in very intimate and almost constant touch with children. His interest in child play, awakened years ago and kept active by observation and personal contact with children in clubs, play schools, school playgrounds, and the home circle, has been encouraged by numberless requests from teachers for the little study pub lished ten years ago. Largely in response to these requests this revision has been undertaken. It is earnestly hoped that the book may help promote a wider and higher appreciation of play and of its value in education, and add somewhat to the sum of child happiness in the world. The discussion of the meaning of play, of the relation of play and work, and of the history and application of play to education is by no means full. It can scarcely do more than give the point of view. The discussion of the periods of childhood is a bare summary, but is sufficient, it is hoped, to make clear their relation to the Course of Plays and Games. Of the course itself it may be admitted that it is perhaps too condensed. The whole study is valuable, if at all, mainly for its suggestiveness.
