Originally published in 1938, Play in the Infants' School is an account of three years' work and play with children from three to eight years of age in an Elementary school. The change from traditional organization and discipline to modern methods and creative activity is described in detail and the problems, difficulties and failures are frankly discussed. Part 2 deals with the undirected play activities of the children, their development from the nursery class to Standard I, the equipment and arrangement of the school day, and the work of the teacher in connection with the children's self-chosen pursuits. The author describes the reaction of the children to art, music and nature experiences and their enthusiasm for drama and their School Theatre. Part 3 shows the relation between undirected and creative activity to the 3 R's and describes how the children's interest in these subjects was the result of their freedom to play and of the realities they met in and out of school. The introduction of 'lessons' and the children's response to mechanical practice is carefully explained. Today it can be read in its historical context.

E. R. (Ella Ruth) Boyce was an author and educator. She helped found and contributed to the magazine Childhood Education in 1924 (still going strong today). She was educated at Pittsburgh Central High School, the Pittsburgh and Allegheny Kindergarten College, the New York Kindergarten Association and Duquesne University, where she received a Doctor of Pedagogy degree.
