With the impact of the war, farsighted communities all over America in cities, towns, villages, and newly developed industrial war areas have pooled villages, and newly developed industrial war areas have pooled their thinking to establish centers to which school‐age children can come centers to which school‐age children can come when school is out. The following article, based on the long experience of the Play Schools Association, is a picture of one center‐in reality, a composite of many. For both teachers and children i t can be described as first steps up in learning to live together. Mrs. Lambert is Director of Teacher Education of the Play Schools Association, an organization devoted to meeting the out‐of‐school needs of school‐age children.She is the author of “School's Out,” recently published by Harper and Brothers.
