Abstract
To the child play is life itself, serious all-absorbing. By play he lives and grows. Through play he develops his own personality and aptitude to get along well in society. Most of us do not take children’s play seriously enough. We are apt to think of play as wasting time and forgetting the duties of life. Probably this is the result of our Puritan traditions. Probably it is our sense of the responsibilities of life. Yet whatever it might be, we still accept with hesitation the fact so seriously emphasized by our scientific teachers of childhood, that play for the child is serious and is essential for mental and physical health and growth and for personal and social development.
