A Summer Recreation
Program for Oregon
By DR. JOHN F. BOVARD,
Dean and Director of Physical Education,
University of Oretfim.
(Editor's Note: Thia ia the first of a
series of three articles outlining a summer
recreation program for communities of the
state, written by Dr. Bovard, nationally
recognized as an authority in the field of
physical education. The next article will
follow in a later issue."
Fart I: Objects of the Program.
In the last twenty years the larg
er cities and recently cities of all
classes have leisure time programs
outlined by city authority. The re
sponsibility of the individual, of
the family, and of the school have
not been lessened nor given up, but
the city has simply discovered that
it must play its part in the growth
and development of the social life
of its citizens. We provide schools,
fire protection, pure water, clean
streets, adequate police protection,
all of which bear upon the material
needs of life. Why, then, is it not
right and Just that a certain amount
of effort should be spent, upon the
spiritual, aesthetic and social side
of life? Why should towns not build
up with pride recreational facilities
and more adequate means of en
joyment? Why should they not plan
and construct as fast as possible
tennis courts, swimming pools, ball
fields, picnic parks, and all the other
types of facilities which cake life
more interesting and more enjoy
able A city can be famous for the
character of its citizenship as well
as for its water supply, its beauti
ful lawns, or as a center for apples,
or hops, or wool.
When recreation programs are
mentioned many people think only
of the play and game side, such as
baseball, or tennis, or golf, but in
our terms we wish to include all of
the activities which make for a
happier citizenship, we want to In
clude music, art, drama, the handi
crafts, and all of the opportunities
which affect people whether young
or old. We want our participation
in these activities to be just as ex
tensive as the desires and capacities
of the citizenship may direct.
To what extent, then, can a town
develop a program of this sort?
Certain limiting factors cannot be
forgotten, such as the leadership
which may be willing to give of
time and energy; the physiographic
conditions what will apply to a
coast town does not apply to one in
an arid region; and the peculiar
ities of population which introduce
traditional attitudes or peculiar
customs.
But in laying out a program of
this kind too much emphasis must
not be placed on these restrictions.
Standards of excellence must be set,
visions must be dreamed, even
though the full measure of activity
cannot be realized. As time goes
on, the program 'will expand to meet
these standards. The function af
ter all is not how great is the pro
gram now, but the thing for which
to strive is the development of com
munity spirit, team work, that abil
ity to work and to play together.
What are the aims of a summer
recreation program? Some of these
aims are quite obvious. We must
provide a safe place in which to
play. Our modern town street, with
Its rapidly moving automobiles and
traffic, is no place for children to
play, and unless provision is made
the town grows up without any safe
place for children.
The second function Is to decrease
delinquency. Everyone knows that
where there is leisure time there
will be activity of same sort. Where
these activities are undirected or
misdirected, young people some
times get into difficulties. To pro
vide wholesome activities of the
right sort is the duty of every well
ordered community.
Third, recreation planning means
building healthful recreative oppor
tunities for all; not just physical
activities, but activities which give
the individual pleasure, are mental
ly stimulating, and help to absorb a
part of his Interest.
Fourth, to provide wholesome
and ample competition for both
young and old. There are few rec
reations which are not bettered by
doing them with someone else, and
the zest of competition, where this
is possible, is one of the character
istics of a good recreational system.
Some of the other functions are
less obvious but are just as Import
ant. Fifth, a recreation program
can provide for the education of its
citizenship through plays, games:
dramatics, and music. It has been
said that "Education includes ev
ery purposeful activity." Certainly
it is true that education never
ceases. We are constantly making
contacts which enlarge our vision
and bring us face to face with new
people and new things.
Sixth, a good program promotes
the qualities of good citizenship,
helpfulness to others, a generous
community spirit, a civic pride in
bringing neighbors together for
some pleasurable activity.
Seventh, a well planned program
promotes, stimulates, and suggests
new leisure time activities.
Under such a recreational pro
gram who are to be served? It is
obvious that no one type of activity
will be satisfactory for all. It is
obvious also that the population of
any town is divided up Into very
different and special groups.
Corvallis A total of 3585 cows
on test In five dairy herd improve
ment associations of the state dur
ing April produced an average of
695.2 pounds of milk containing
33.73 pounds of butterfat, according
