Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Campus, 1935 There IS a certain sort of fun in pitting mental skill against a knotty problem in mathematics or philosophy; but there is a different sort of pleasure, a happiness that is really an art - the art of enjoying life and the people about one. This art of happiness is a valuable asset in one's per sonal life; moreover, it is well worth definite study in these days when social relationships within human society are being recognized as constituting one of our most serious problems. Perhaps recreation will be one of the most helpful keys to its solution. Recreation contributes to society's needs in forms to match those needs. Students, for example, are - presumably - engaged primarily in intellectual pursuits, and the strain therefore falls mainly on the nervous rather than the muscu lar mechanism. Active physical effort is thus indicated as an essential of their recreation programs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
