e L portunity of wholesome pleasure PLAYLESS CITY | IS HANDICAPPED | Morality and Wholesome Recreation | Grow Up Together, Says Su- | perintendent English. \ MANY OMAHANS MISUNDERSTAND | C. 1. English, superintendent of r'nhw“ recreation, belleves that a playiess city | cannot reach great things. On the thought | of ““The Geepel of Play” Mr. Enelish saye Constructive pubtic opinion starts its campalgn with a deep and valiant belief in play. In season and out of season it preaches the gospel of play—an ample op for ev v man, woman and child in every home, ‘tore and, factory In Omaha, and the \eans of ‘enjoying it to the full at least once egery week. The gospel of play Is | the beginning of wisdom in this whoie matter of_recreation Many minds'In Omaha have misunder stood or denled the imoortance of play and looked upon it as a more or lesa per- missible rather than as & natural ight, and beautiful oxpression of the hu- man spirit. This tragic misconception has | made our people slow in realising our obligation to the young people of our city It is well to believe in play, for the love of it leaps up instinctively In every nor- | mal being. Whatever one does for the pure love of it, that is play. It 1s more instinetive than work and not a whit less important 8in, Like Playless Life. A playless city would ba no more ab normal than a playless life. Play ls for childhood the shining gate that opens wide to life, to sociability. endurance, co- cperation, natursl growth and the sub- ordination of one's own desires to com mon ends. Tt is well to believe in play, for morality and play grow up together lika joyous children when play is apon tancous, unbought and clean. America be- lieves in play, and Omaha as a city at heart believes in play and has 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 recreations which are to possess her lef surg hours. These will shape her civic character. Can she be led to believe com- pletely in wholesome play? Constructive public opinfon sets itself to produce the agfirmative answer. “‘Perhaps the most fundamental and en- during, of, all solutions of this problem lies.in a city-wide adoption of the gospel of wholesome play, in the full develop- nent of A comprehensive recreational problem that will. be so far-reaching that every man, woman or child who desires wholesome récreation can gratify that wish. Constructive public opinion beging its ‘crusade with the gospel of play. Walter Berlo Weds Nurse Who Attended Him After Accident Some weeks ago Walter J.
