8 Is the game adapted to the stage of life of the individuals under consideration?

All of these games were examined not only with reference to these principles, but they were then carefully tested on the gymnasium floor with groups of boys and young men. It is not meant that each game was worked over with reference to these elements and the best work selected.

I believe the collection to be the best available. I also believe that the classification according to years is correct and practically useful. While the book is distinctly aimed at providing games for boys, personal experience has shown that a large number of these games are equally adapted to women and girls. LUTHER GULICK, M. D.
