“Ja, man wird schliesslich, um die biologische Bedeutung der Spiele in ihrer ganzen Grösse zu würdigen: vielleicht ist die Einrichtung der Jugendzeit selbst zum Theil um der Spiele willen getroffen; die Thiere spielen nicht, weil sie jung sind, sondern sie haben eine Jugend, weil sie spielen müssen.” “Yes, one finally appreciates the biological significance of the Game in its full magnitude: perhaps the institution of Youth itself is made partly for the sake of the Game; the animals do not play because they are young, rather they have their Youth because they have to play.”  &mdash; Karl Groos, 1896

“Gross well says that children are young because they play, and not vice versa; and he might have added, men grow old because they stop playing, and not conversely, for play is, at bottom, growth, and at the top of the intellectual scale it is the eternal type of research from sheer love of truth.” &mdash; G. Stanley Hall, 1904

Data related

 * Could the numeric IDs be put IN each /DV page?
 * When block metadata is completely phased out from the computer edition, should Block Data sections all be rephrased to distinguish this?
