An Excerpt, frоm Appletоn's Science Mоnthly in 1898   (1) While the officers аnd friends of educаtion in lаrge cities are exerting themselves to provide open-air playgrounds for the schools, the villages and smaller towns all over the East are reversing the case. (2) Except in the small district schools, the children's playground has almost ceased to exist. (3) This is an evil which has crept in with the tendency to centralize the schools. (4) When in any place the schools begin to overflow, a movement to put up a larger building takes place, accompanied by an effort to create a high-school department; not so much the need of the community as the ambitious dream of some principal who would be superintendent. (5) This dream is too easily realized, because it flatters the people. (6) Then there rises a preposterous structure of stone and brick; a house of many gables, out of keeping with everything, either public or private, in the place; a temple of vanity. (7) Now is rung the knell of the school playground. (8) To maintain the fine lawn, studded with shrubbery, and threaded by bluestone roads, the janitor has to employ an assistant to keep the grounds in order. (9) A shut-in, penitentiary like place has been evolved by the architect and school committee, gratifying to their pride and a deep wrong to the children. (10) There are many wrongs about it; the one insisted upon here is the abolishing of the recess, that time-honored joy of the American schoolboy and schoolgirl.   Though the author is the only voice directly presented in this passage, would it be fair to say he agrees with the perspective of most school children about "the abolishing of recess."
