Abstract

[No abstract provided, taken from introduction]

The problem involved in this paper is to propose a recreational program for the Negro high school of Muskogee, Oklahoma.

The first purpose of the study is to suggest a number of leisure time activities from which the pupils might be free to choose and play. The second purpose is to secure a list of the activities of the school and non-school organizations, such as Boy Scouts and others, so as to co-ordinate these activities with those of the proposed programs. Only those activities are to be considered in which the pupils spend at least thirty minutes per week; thirty minutes is used as a demarcation between the pupil's likes and dislikes for recreational activities. The third purpose concerns the likes and dislikes of the school's personnel for certain activities, and the time to be given to each activity. The fourth purpose is to propose a recreational program to fit as nearly as possible the recreational needs of the high school.
