,,preface ,the following rhythmic
plays compiled by ,mr4 ,john ,n4
,richards of the ,newark ,department of
,physical ,education have been devised
to meet the needs in the transition of
,physical ,education activities between
the kindergarten and the first few years
of the primary school4 ,the
physiologist tells us that the nervous
organism of early childhood is injured
by the strain of strict1 immobile
attention required in formal gymnastics4
,therefore it is wise to hold the
child's interest and attention by means
of dramatized nursery plays4 ,these make
little strain on mental application and
the child is able to dramatize in
motion the words and music which are
planned to develop his motor
co-ordination4 ,in this way the child is
gradually and interestingly led from
the freedom of expression1
characteristic of babyhood to the more
specialized formal activities of the
third and fourth years in the school4
,mr4 ,richards' contribution merits
widespread usage because he has clearly
and definitely described his rhythm
plays so that the classroom teacher can
easily make use of them without having
to draw on her imagination or having to
guess at the written explanation4 ,the
book should be useful and welcomed too1
not only by the classroom teacher but
also by the specialist and supervisor of
,physical ,education4 ,randall ,d4
,warden ,director of ,physical
,education1 ,newark1 ,n4,j41 ,public
,schools ,,introduction ,the young
people of to-day are most fortunate in
their opportunities and advantages4 ,the
home1 the school1 the shop1 social life
and play offer increasing fields for
service4 ,the ever increasing number of
problems which must be faced1 in this
reconstruction period of our nation's
life1 demands leaders of broad
intellect1 clear vision and sound
judgment4 ,coupled with these
qualifications there must be developed a
moral earnestness which will make for
better citizenship4 ,the trend of
society movement is undoubtedly toward
congested city life4 ,there is
lamentable lack of playgrounds and
properly equipped gymnasiums4 ,the
school buildings are crowded to capacity
and there is a rush and hurry of life
which challenges the attention of all
educators who are interested in the
physical well-being of children4 ,the
priceless assets of our communities are
the boys and girls who are growing into
manhood and womanhood4 ,we should spare
neither expense nor energy in fitting
them physically1 mentally and
spiritually for the great problems which
will all too soon be theirs4 ,exercise
habits and a spirit of fair play must
be a part of their training from the
early school days4 ,there is no better
way of inculcating these lessons than
through story plays and games during
their first school years4 ,the material
contained in this book is practical4
,the exercise movements have been set to
music which is popular both in the
schools and in the homes4 ,it is
carefully graded and should prove to be
of great assistance to the teachers in
the lower grades4 ,it tends to bridge
over the gap between the ,kindergarten
and the ,primary ,grade activities4
,there is need for a manual of this type
in our ,physical ,training literature
and it is hoped that this material will
be used generally throughout the schools
of our country4 ,f4 ,w4 ,maroney1
