 All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Recreation is prescribed for us all—recreation out-of-doors, in the gym, in the library, at school and Y dances, at club meetings, at games, at the canteen. Let us be so- ciable—let us know many kinds of people, be responsible members of school groups—so that we may help build a friendlier world . . . Above all, let us avoid an overdose of play. The immediate effect may be exhila- rating, but the later results are highly dangerous. A steady diet of pleas- ure will cause drowsiness and stu- pidity. We may never become adults, but remain children . . . We must not be caught napping at this critical period of our lives like the nations that drifted along in pleasure and awoke too late to the Nazi threat.

and Work Prescribed y When a man has a hard job to do, he must avail himself of all possible tools, for otherwise he may find it impossible to do it at all. And so, if we want to be foreign correspondents, we must know languages; and if we want to be engineers and build bridges and things, we must know mathematics ... It takes a little effort to drive a car, or to swim, or to do almost any- thing! But if the result is worthwhile, why growl at the effort? After all, the only way to make no effort at all is to be dead!
