Excerpt from The Play Movement in the United States: A Study of Community Recreation Every period of social advance has been accompanied by the spirit of play. The contem porary generation in our own country is no exception to that rule. Industrial developments, immigration, the growth of the democratic spirit in education and in economics as well as in gov ernment have not characterized the present age more than have amateur sports, commercialized amusements, and socialized art. Eighty thousand people have witnessed a single football contest, ninety thousand a prize fight, while baseball has become the American game and athletics a recognized feature of both high school and col lege life. Few cities are now without municipal bands, orchestras, or auditoriums, as well as swimming pools and public golf links. The mu nicipal pier of Chicago extends into the lake three quarters of a mile and terminates in a magnifi cent auditorium seating five thousand and dedi cated to amateur dramatic and musical expres sion. Transcontinental automobile routes out number the railroads, the motion picture industry is fifth in the United States, while it is estimated that the population of our second largest city alone expends two hundred fifty million dollars annually in leisure-time pursuits.
