Excerpt from The Guild of Play Book of Festival and Dance, Vol. 1 IT is a. Great pleasure to me to say a few words in introducing this book to the public. It embodies the results of a delightful experiment which has been carried out by Mrs. Kimmins and her helpers in connection with the Bermondsey University Settle ment for some years past, and is intended to help those who are endeavouring to do similar work elsewhere. The Guild 0/ Play appeals on many grounds to those who are interested in the welfare of children, and especially of those who are compelled to find their playground in the streets of our crowded cities. In addition to the physical evil wrought by their surroundings, there is too often a coarsening of manners and therefore of the moral disposition which is so closely bound up with manners. The art of wholesome play is lost, and life alternates between joyless apathy and boisterous excitement. The worst sufferers from these evils are the girls. Hence, ultimately true womanliness is injured, with evil results that are far-reaching. The remedy for this state of things is not to be found in drill, but in restoring the gift of play and play must be regarded as a fine art, the resources of which are almost illimitable if educationists have suf ficient wisdom and sympathy to discover them. Dignity and modesty of bearing, beauty of movement, and healthful exercise may all be cultivated by play, and with them the sense of comradeship which well-organized games produce. And all this without lessening the joyous sense of freedom and spontaneity which is essential to play. Moreover, that taste for the truly beautiful may be developed which is threatened with destruction by the sordid environment and the bad taste which are so sadly prevalent. Another evil to be combated is the degradation of our popular songs. Those who listen to them are sometimes inclined to despair of the results of our national education. And the evil will last while wholesome songs are simply taught as lessons in school. The children must learn also to associate beautiful songs with their play.

Excerpt from The Guild of Play Book of Festival and Dance It is with great pleasure that I say a few words in bringing this book to the notice of the public. For many years past I have taken a very keen interest in the work of the Guild of Play, which I regard as so distinctly complementary to the work of the Guild of the Brave Poor Things, which is doing such yeoman service in brightening and uplifting the lives of so many crippled people. Of the work of the Heritage Craft Schools I cannot speak too highly. It appeals on many grounds to all interested in the well-being of cripples, and I can only say that year by year I watch the undoubted growth of the movement with entire and unqualified approval. It is quite possible, however, to be crippled in circumstance, as bitterly as to be handicapped physically, and for the children belonging to the Guild of Play it is indeed a steep path which leads to the stars. By means of such organised dances, games, and songs as are taught at the Guild of Play, I believe much can be done to brighten and uplift the lives of children who swarm in the poorer districts of London and our large cities generally. Nothing in the whole of the great Church Pageant which has just closed at Fulham Palace touched me more than the dancing of the 150 Guild of Play children in Episode X. The happiness and absolute unconsciousness of the children won all hearts, and in it I read, as their President, bright hopes for the future if this play could be made more general and have more widespread influence. I told the children then, and I take this opportunity of repeating it now, that I am proud to be their President; that I rejoice in their happiness; that I personally thank all those who contribute to that happiness; and I wish their dancing and play to be brought to the knowledge of a wider public, and I trust, by means of this sound part of the Guild of Play Book of Festival and Dance, that many more children will spend happy hours than ever before, and that this particular system of organised play will be given by educational authorities, philanthropists, and all lovers of children everywhere, all possible advancement, support, and progress.

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.
