GIVE ALL THE BOYS A CHANCE
Interest in the “World Series” is
not confined to adults.
Many a school boy’s knitted brow
is only a ruse to conceal his
thoughts.
di jtitTt-irfi s pT(ipositioni»t
his meditations may be on his b»»e
ball heroes and their chances fo$
victory.
And why not?
® Play games, and athletics are a
recognized part of the school’s
physical education program. These
activities offer, without doubt, one
of the best opportunities for the de
velopment of good conduct and
healthful habits. Are their possi
bilities realized?
The teacher-coach should, by ex-
and attitude, inculcate the
ideals of fair play.
Pupils should learn to despise
every thing tricky or mean, to abide
by the rules and the spirit of the
game, to strive to win by their own
superior athletic prowess, and to
recognize it appropriately in others.
They should learn to be sportsman
like.” This implies, when winners,
the lack of undue boasting; and,
when losers, the first in congratulat
ing their successful opponents.
Well-planned athletics contribute
immeasurably to physical fitness,
happiness, honesty, cooperation, con
sideration for others, sense of fair
play, and character.
5ach and all of these are worthy
goals.
Should this highly deslrabl# type
of education be confined to the few
already physically fit?
Undue concentration on “the team
may well be supplanted by interest
ing the pupils in the organization
and development of a number of
play groups and teams within the
school. Inter-class games and con
tests between the school’s teams are
highly desirable and to be preferred
to inter-school contests if both can
not be provided. Well-directed
participation by the many is essen
tial to the greater good to the great
er number.

Uncle John watched his nephew
and some other little boys playing
as soldiers, attacking a fort. “Tom

can take that fort in half an hour
I’ll give you a quarter.
About two minutes later there
came an eager cry: "Uncle, can I
have that quarter now ? We’ve
taken the fort.
That was'’very smart,” said Un

coin, << How did you manage it so
quickly? »
“Oh, I just offered the other
