E. Winship of the New England Journal of Education while I was lecturing and conducting some play demonstrations at the normal school at Kearney, Nebraska. The suggestions here made have since been tried at many normal schools and rural teachers' institutes. I am much indebted to the following associations and persons for their kindness in loaning pictures for the book: The Playground and Recreation Association of America; the Boy Scouts of America; the Camp Fire Girls; Mr. O. H. Benson of the United States Department of Agriculture; The Agricultural College, Stillwater, Oklahoma; Miss Nina B. Lamkin; Young Women's Christian Association, St. Louis, Missouri; Mr. W. Francis Hyde, Worcester, Massachusetts; Reverend Frederick Hollister, North Stonington, Connecticut; Mr. John Staples, Houston, Texas; and President John Kirk of the Normal School, Kirksville, Missouri.
