SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RECREATION PROGRAM

SUMMER = 1938 8

Because I feel fairly accurate figures on the results of this summer's
program would be helpful as a guide in planning subsequent programs, I submit
the following data with a few interpretive suggestionse

Ie Organization and administration

 

le Directore
Without any motive other than providing an actual check on the time
which I gave to the program personally I kept a record of the hours I nih sake
ite That total is 155 hours.

155 hours total
28 hours before summer school started with comnittee
meetings and planning for junkets, etce
22 hours first week ) Naturally more time was
33 hours second week ) necessary in the first
14 hours third week ) weeks to get things started.
16 hours fourth week
63 hours fifth week
12 hours sixth week
14 hours seventh week
93 hours eighth week and last few days.

 

Obviously this amouht of time is equal to far more than a two-hour course in
matter of teaching loade Of course, opinion may be that the program could be
curtailed instead of being extended. And some one else might be able to accomplish
more than I did in less time, = but my own feeling in the matter is that any
wruaiing 40 be successful, demands much from a jonwe unless there is capable

and plentiful assistance for hime I suggest that in the future whoever has charge

of the program teach only the course in Community Recreation (3 hrse)e That course

 

should be integrated with the program, and if the director does not teach the
course he should cooperate with the classe
2e Budget.
In the future, adequate provision must be made not only for equipment,
but for leadershipe This sumer we were fortunate in being able to run the play-

ground with only one paid assistants One paid person to be responsible for
