Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from A Public Recreation System for Newark: Suggestions and Recommendations Newark needs a complete public recreation system. The Board of Education, Park Commission and Playground Commission are doing all they can, under present conditions and limitations, each in its own field. Their work for recreation should he united and generously supported. Ample recreation facilities properly controlled are absolutely essential to the making of a healthy, law-abiding and efficient city. Recreation is simply the wise use of hours of leisure. Homes can not provide for this use. Schools can not, though by a wider use of their buildings they can greatly help. The city can furnish supervised play for only $2.50 to $4.00 per year per child, while school training costs $30 and up. Our present parks can not provide for wise use of leisure. They are nut enough in number; they are not centrally located. Some of our congested wards are as populous as full grown cities; the cities have many parks, while, these congested wards have none! The parks are not equipped For all-year recreation and they are closed to play on Sundays. Churches and societies can not provide for wise use of leisure. By a wider use of their respective plants they can help. Commercial bodies and industrial corporations can help a little; and they do more and better work in this line each year.
