A BROAD CONCEPT OF RECREATION

Recreation is more than the playing of games.

It includes reading, music, art, drama, the chance to converse with friends, the thrill of a hobby, hearing the song of a cardinal, the enjoyment of a lovely sunset, a quiet moment of worship, working in a garden, a trip through the woods, the fellowship of a friendly game, the fun of a sports program, and a thousand other joys! (E. O. Harbin)


RECREATION is like a clean wind which blows through a person's total being and sweeps the cobwebs from the mind; and in that process totally refreshes to the extent that the individual is enabled to return to his regular routine ready, willing, happy, and able. (Agnes Durant Pylant)
