Art And The New Leisure, Pauline Johnson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The new order into which society has been placed during recent months produces problems which were unthought of before that time, and perhaps the greatest of these problems is the one which has to do with the creation of surplus time for the worker. Rightly controlled this will add to the happiness and welfare not only of the person concerned but to civilization as a whole. This need will be met in many ways--through sports, amusements, self-development, etc., but I wonder how many have realized the place that fine arts can be made to fill at this time.

It has been only recently that music has been introduced as a subject into the public school. Even today there is a lot of discussion …
