“We are coming to realise that there must be in the new leisure some room for self-direction, for grown-ups and children alike, that recreation can be too much regimented, and too exclusively pursued in artificial groups ... As in many other forms of community enterprise, emphasis in the field of recreation is now being laid on helping individuals to develop their own programmes in accordance with their own tastes and desires, rather than in developing patterns into which the individual must fit.”—Joanna C. Colcord in “Your Community."
