M any a self-m ade .m an hgd a wom an to finish th e job: The Recreation Movement S tatistics compiled by th e Play ground and R e c reation A ssociation of America for the y e a r 191S show some very interesting facts regarding the effect of w a r on th e recreation, move ment. W illie a num b e r o f cities dis continued th e ir work as a direct or Indirect effect of the w a r, and there was a general disinclination on the part of the cities w hich had never before organized recreation, to in itiate activities during the w a r, there was nevertheless a decided stren g th ening and intensifying of the w o rk in the cities which continued their activ ities and a m a rked increase over th o previous year in the num b e r of cen tres conducted throughout th e year. T h e s e centres, both playgrounds and evening recreation centres, dur ing the w a r period w h e n the entire country was suffering from th e strain of abnorm a l conditions and labor was being called upon to give ot its strength and skill as never before, perform ed a great service. The at tendance a t playgrounds open even ings and a t evening recreation cen tres in tlie schools and other m eet ing places w a s very m u ch greater d u r ing 1918 th a n ever before. In in creased num b e rs young m e n and women and adults busy all day long in the factory and at w a r production centres naturally turned at night to the playgrounds and recreation cen tres w here they could have the re creation and relaxation, which they craved. The provision of wholesom e recrea tion, both In the cam p s and in the nearby cities for soldiers and sailors in their free tim e hns been accounted one of the g reatest forces in the building up of the splendid sp ir it of America’s arm y . The new conception of recreation w hich has grow n out of the w a r, the appreciation of it as an essential in a peace-tim e program will go far to crystallize th e aw ak ened in terest which is everyw h ere ap parent. People throughout tlie country are thinking of physical fitness as a re quisite in th e life of th e nation and of wholesome recreation as one of the best channels through which such fitness can be m a intained. John M itchell, chairm a n of the S tate In dustrial Commission and such a labor leader as J . E. Roacli of th e Ameri can Federation of Labor, heartily en dorse wholesome recreation a s a vital force and are in favor ot its expan sion. All thinking m e n ancl women see in it one of th e greatest con structive an d preventive m ovem ents ot the time. The year 1919 will undoubtedly see a great developm ent along th e linos of community recreation buildings, recreation centres an d community activities o f nil kinds, opportunities for self-expression and for the enrich m e n t of life wilt m u ltiply. A num b er of cities, some e f them im p o rtant industrial centres are now making plane for year-round w o rk w h ich will take into account th e needs of young and old a n d to m a k e i t possible for the entire community to havo a share in the broader social life.

Communications Editor, The Pioneer: A p parently, the m em orial pro ject is being lost in a fog ot varying opinions, So let m e suggest a proposition th a t we can all get together on, to w it criticism of the Tailroad service. A point th a t I would call attention to, is the slow tim e of many of tho trains going out to Now Rochelle. Seemingly, m o re than a few could be quickened to the extent of two to six m inutes. I am not unm indful o t the various junction points enroute but, th e r e is a very fair opportunity for fast ru n ning in view of the absence of grade crossings; and the company could do better for us, now th a t i t is no longer necessary to econom ize on the use of coal, and the New H aven m anage m e n t should have plenty of power available. It seem s to m e this is som ething that could be properly referred to, and the influence of the Pioneer would be, no doubt, instrum e n tal in bringing about some im p rovem e n t, if the m a tter should be brought to the attention of the right parties.
