Dr.. Lawrence p. Jacks Lee
lures Here on "Leisure,
Recreation and Art"

Qsfors a distinguished gathering of
educational anC eecsei leaders. DR.. Law
renee Pearsall Jacks, Eminent English
authority on adult education and
recreation, delivered lecture last night
at the home Of Mrs. Henry F. Dimock
taking as his subject Leisure, Recreation
and Art"
introduced by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin
DR. Jacks, who fer 20 years has been
principal Of Manchester College, Ok
ford, in his address stressed the i'm
portance OF coordination Of the mind
and body in order that the individual
may be really educated. He cited many
instances to prove the value Of
munity centers In his own country,
where q definite training of the body led
to desire for training and develop
ment Of the mind
Work and Play Similar.
There Is no real difference between
work and play" he asserted. 1T Is
merely our attitude toward what we are
doing"
In an interview before the lecture DR..
Jacks expressed the opinion that old
time standards Of education must be
abandoned for new ones If civilization Is
10 prOETeSS ana continue.
II believe with H. G. Wells" he de-
clared, that civilization has now to
choose between education and catastro-
ply, and the sort of education we need
to save civilization will have to be diff
ferent from the academical type that
now goes on in schools and colleges"
New Type Education.
"The new type Of education should
give much larger place to training the
activities Of the child and should be
continued through the universities,
teaching young people to cultivate the
arts, recreation and hobbies" A great
er cultivation Of leisure habits for
adults is also advocated by DR.. Jack
Dr.. Jack planned and supervised the
building Of his home in OXFORD.
My wife is skilled weaver and
weayes the materials for her own
cloths" he said. She has made some
beautiful designs. She finds her life
full Of interesting JOY"
Don't spend your leisure in way
that spoils the leisure of other people, !"
he said, "interrupting them, bothering
them and calling them up on the tele-
phone when they don't want to be
called up. Spend as much of your
leisure as you can in creative work, in
making things for yourself, in using the
arts, crafts or cultivating hobbies, al
ways remembering that the more skill
fully you play the more you will
enjoy it."
