The quality and abundance of modern literature point to the creativity
of our time. The rearrangement of culture and education after
World War II also caused reconsiderations and pondering anew in the
field of physical education. In this technical age physical education
has to comply with increasing demands. By virtue of its inner values
and its increased as well as widened addressability, physical education
becomes an effective means of education and acknowledged binding
agent in the international scope. The use of enjoyable and meaningful
physical education for the rearrangement of human education is at
stake. It (human education) sets in at first, proceeding from the spiritual
side. For that reason theory is in advance of practice even in our
creative time. The modern literature gains enhanced significance as the
herald of the new, of something else.
SIGNIFICANCE OF LITERATURE, PRIMARILY FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE WITH UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
He who reads, who studies the literature is ahead of the others.
He has a distinct idea of the spirit of time, of that which is and will
be valid. He will understand easily the new and other things, the inner
connexions, the question "why?". The person who is well read in modern
literature will be able to adjust himself more easily to the conditions,
the reality, and thus simplify and shorten the way of practice.
The study of modern literature makes one more open-minded to the
world, it gives a feeling of having widely travelled, it brings men together,
it unites them. He who takes literature seriously will become
inspired to his own creative work. The cognizance of literature helps to
overcome more easily difficulties and disappointments which belong
to life. Literatry studies, properly handled, strengthen the personality
and makes it (the personality) the representative, the messenger of new
human education, which will comprise the whole man - body and soul.
STRUCTURE, CHARACTERISTIC OF MODERN LITERATURE
The modern literature, published between the two world wars,
opposed to the old one, shows peculiarities that characterize the immense
significance of literature in our time as the forming means of education.
The high, spiritual level of literary creation, which can probably
be reduced to the creative element of our time, to the intensified scientific
work. The spirituality of literature of our time is to be stated especially
in physical educational literary output.
