Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recreation the Basis of Association Between Parents and Teachers
Public money pays for our costly, hand some, well equipped school buildings. To get the best results from this investment they must be kept open longer than seven hours a day. In many cities the day instruction is now sup plemented by other activities which yield large dividends in social and civic service.
The community owns the schoolhouse. It is the natural neighborhood center, day and evening, the year round. It can be used effec tively for a surprising number and variety of gatherings. It can serve the whole neighbor hood and bring back to the taxpayers who paid for it a rich return in recreation, education and good citizenship.
