Play - Comprising Games for the Kindergarten Playground, Schoolroom and College #262486

Games were useful merely for recreation. One rarely heard in those times that play was essential, alike to physical and to mental development. Parents and teach ers would frequently correct a child by telling him not to waste his time in games, but to devote himself to profitable work of some kind. Happily, this attitude is rapidly disappearing, though it still lingers among us in some sections of the country.
