Chicago, organizer of Community Ser
vice work, and William Dudley Foulke.
Good recreation that will be edu
cational to the people, such as the
Music Memory contest, the Famous
Picture contest are the best that we
can do, and will tend to make the
community better and the best we
ever had" stated William Dudley
Foulke, the principal speaker of the
evening.
Recreation is no good for people
who look on, for it does them no
good. The people who are getting the
good are the ones who are in the
game, this is especially so in ath-
letics. Athletics are a good form OF
recreation but they do as much harm
as they do good, the amount Of ath-
letics should be limited"
Need for Recreation
1.-THE man who does hard manual
labor for eight hours every day needs
mental recreation and not the athletic
recreation. The workingman who fin
ishes his days work should relax and
rest, and during this rest period he
should be doing something to keep
his mind busy. Reading is one form.
Many go to the movies for their rec
reation This form of recreation prob
ably is followed by the majority OF
body workers.
"The man who does mental work
for his days work needs physical rec
reation and should get plenty of 1t.
For this man, athletics possibly are
the best form of recreation"
Frank E. R. Miller, of Chicago, the
first speaker of the evening, COM
mented ON Richmond and the wonder
full work which is being done in 81
community way He praised the work
being done here by P. H. Slocum,
executive secretary.
THE service that has been given to
Richmond under Community Service
work is very good, and there is none
better" he stated.
Leisure Determines Character
what one does in his leisure time
reveals his character, and it also tells
if the man is real sport or not.
Community service does not only
tend to provide some form OF recrea-
ton, but it also builds character. 1t
teaches men and boys to become up
right and honest. This is especially
so on the playground"
