be of three kinds an escape from drudgery compen sation for dull routine or job which was not particularly inter esting or an opportunity for ful filment of persons potentialich and powers The last named he stressed as most important for it involves contain qualitiesthe use of the intellect the emotions the will the conscience and the body itself Because of this it makes for the gmth of the person and widens his horizons and interests in life Great Conccm He stated that leisure was of great concern in our modern world because of the shorter hours of work and earlier retirement age now prevalent Due to medical advance life has been lengthened to such an cxlent that at this lime the relative increase in the population in the over60 age group is greater than that of the pre school age group Mr Cook felt that we needed to raise the qual ity of life as well as lengthen it and that this might be done to great cxtcnt through the creative use Of leisure time He stressed the cxcitcnicnl of learning by doing and of staying with an art or craft until per son has expressed what one really wants to express He said that it wasnt necessary to explain to someone what you have painde or created out of wood clay otc Sometimes putting label on your creation spoils it thing should be what it is he said and if it pleases you it is good In mak ing anything the basic form and characteristics of the medium should be emphasized and develop ed The things you have created yourself are punt of yourself and sometimes no payment in rmoncy would encourage you to give them away Mr Cook told the story of Dr Lindcman outstanding American educator and social philosopher Dr Lindcmen visit ed friend who loved to paint and became quite attached to one of his paintings He asked his friend if he could buy it The friend was insulted On Dr Lindcmans dc panturehe said however that if the doctor would send him set ting of eggs from special breed of hen from his part of llhe coun try
