IV. Topics for Discussion

1. What is the real problem of Sunday in the family? Is it that of securing quiet or of wisely directing the action of the young?

2. Recall your childhood's Sundays. Were they for good or ill?

3. What are the arguments against children playing on Sunday? Is there any essential relation between the play of children and the wide-open Sunday of commercialized amusements?

4. Can you describe forms of play in which practically all the family might unite?

5. What characteristics should distinguish play on Sundays from other days? Is it wise to attempt thus to distinguish this day?
