“... work is only part of a man's life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.” MenWellsMeanLongPlayTodaySpiritualOpportunityIndividualNationsChurchWorkMoralGroupsHe ManDevelopmentExerciseMen And WomenIntelligentWorkersEducationalContactCitizenshipSpiritual DevelopmentPhysical HealthWell RoundedSpiritual Health Author:Mary Barnett Gilson
