CO-RECREATION

(Coatlsiiird from I'iikc One)

which individuals of both sexes participate together purely for enjoyment as no academic credit is given. Besides physical activities, this program includes avocational interests in other fields, such as handicraft, construction work, music, and dramatics. One factor that constantly motivates such a program as this is, is that the individual “plays for fun”

—for the sheer joy of playing.

A program is a living thing and cannot be worthwhile when the conditions under which it was formulated have changed or disappeared. A program to live must adjust itself to the pressure of the social order in which it serves. When physical education was added to the school curriculum the sexes were separated on the assumption of certain anatomical and physiological differences necessiti#ing different types of activities. While this assumption is sound with respect to some activities it is unsound in that it resulted in the extreme practice of separating boys and girls for all physical education I

activities.

Many of our foremost leaders hav.ventured to assert that a sensible I association between the sexes is absolutely essential to normal wholesome social life. Friendship and com-1 panionship result from having things ] in common, sharing experiences and I making possible this friendship is one of the soundest arguments for! joint recreation. Mr. Newel Edson. I formerly of the American Social Hygiene Association, says. “One of the chief reasons for divorce and desertion Is that husbands and wives have never learned to play together, therefore if marriage is worth saving, our hoys and girls must be taught to play together .rather than depending upon commercial agencies for taking care of their leisure

hours."

And so it is that the schoqls today have found another responsibility. A co-recreational program may never have the lure of adventure and excitement of some of the other activities we are attempting to have it replace but with the help of wholesome environment and activities we are infinitely more likely to produce good citizens. Since this is more or less of a pioneer field, we are feeling our way and our programs are only tentative. Participation is voluntary and open to all. No scholastic achievement is required for we feel that if any one can have his or her potentialties for citizenship brought out through the sharing m a program of this type, then any deprivation or participation because of scholastic weakness is educationally at fault. We also feel the demands being made upon us cannot be brushed aside as impossible because the answers are not in the back of the book. They are imperative and must be met, and can only be met through the cooperation of all interested parties. The schools are taking the initiative and whether or not they are prepared to tackle the problems, education should be one of the best qualified of all institutions to accept these obligations. If all of us who are interested in youth do not respond to this challenge, these responsibilities will be routed through oth er agencies created for this purpose. We appeal to all who have splendidly cooperated in the past to continue to do so, also all othei groups and individuals interested these projects to give us then your support so that this program may be continued. Two of the activities holding the spotlight at present are volley ball and badminton.
