　　1

　　Work and Play

　　2

　　Our everyday existence is divided into two phases,

　　3

　　as distinct as day and night.

　　4

　　We call them work and play.

　　5

　　We work so many hours a day,

　　6

　　and when we have allowed the necessary minimum

　　7

　　for such activities as eating and shopping,

　　8

　　the rest we spend in various activities

　　9

　　which are known as recreations,

　　10

　　an elegant word which disguises the fact

　　11

　　that we usually do not even play in our hours of leisure,

　　12

　　but spend them in various forms of passive enjoyment or entertainment —

　　13

　　not playing football but watching football matches;

　　14

　　not acting, but theatre-going;

　　15

　　not walking, but riding in a motor coach.

　　16

　　Therefore we need to define clearly the difference

　　17

　　not only between work and play but,

　　18

　　equally, between active play and passive entertainment.

　　19

　　It is, I suppose,

　　20

　　the decline of active play —

　　21

　　of amateur sport —

　　22

　　and the enormous growth of purely receptive entertainment

　　23

　　which has given rise to a sociological interest in the problem.

　　24

　　If the greater part of the population,

　　25

　　instead of indulging in sport,

　　26

　　spend their hours of leisure “viewing” television programmes,

　　27

　　there will inevitably be a decline in health and physique.

　　28

　　And in addition, there will be a psychological problem,

　　29

　　for we have yet to trace the mental and moral consequences

　　30

　　of a prolonged diet of sentimental

　　31

　　or sensational spectacles on the screen.

　　32

　　There is, if we are optimistic,

　　33

　　the possibility that the diet is too thin

　　34

　　and not nourishing enough to have much permanent effect on anybody.

　　35

　　Nine films out of ten seem to leave absolutely no impression on the mind

　　36

　　or imagination of those who see them:

　　37

　　few people can give a coherent account of the film

　　38

　　they saw the week before last,

　　39

　　and at longer intervals they must rely on the management

　　40

　　to see that they do not sit through the same film twice.
