Excerpt from Five PlayletsA New idea which is just coming into popularity in the anti-tuberculosis campaign is the use of the play, or better still, the playlet, as an educational medium, and if the experience of those who have already tried this method counts for anything, it bids fair to be a channel of education that should be adopted throughout the country.The use of plays to educate the public on health and social matters was first tried out at Springfield, Ill., a year ago in connection with the Civic Exhibit. The immediate success of these plays depicting conditions which could be described in dramatic form has induced the Department of Social Betterment of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities to try to extend this method.The plays presented in this pamphlet have been written so that they can be presented by children or adults with very little scenery or costuming. They can be given by children in schools, churches and elsewhere and will prove both entertaining and instructive. It is a matter of common experience that where children are used to co-operate in dramatic performances, the parents and friends always become interested in the subject of the performance. This is in itself a valuable educational asset for the play.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
