This study is a comparative analysis of the recreational activities and facilities of 150 students attending the North Texas State Teachers College, Denton, Texas, during the summer of 1940 and of 150 teachers in service in the public schools of Amarillo, Texas during 1940-41. The three-fold purpose of this investigation was to compare the recreational activities in which teachers in service and students in college participated, to secure from each subject a ranking of activities as to his choice for participation, and to determine the adequacy of recreational facilities for both groups.

The problem of this research was to make a survey of cumulative and permanent records of the children in the Ascher Silberstein Elementary School in order to discover the eye conditions, and to determine the necessity for an expanded program of eye hygiene.
