which appeared 10 the Leader no long

Arthur Is pretty nimble for man OF

record as a political contortionist in
the all-summer attempt to be consist

The Spirit Of Fair Play in Athletics.

Every supervisor of public schools
has on his hand the problem OF school
athletics and school sports. The boys
and girls will have something OF the
sort, for it is nothing but the cry of
growing muscles for exercise. This
being the case, the problem becomes
simply this: Is it better to wash our
hands of the matter by leaving it
wholly to student enterprise, or, by
taking hold OF it, trying to get out of it
whatever il may have of educational
value? 1t seems to me that the latter
is the wiser course.
What opportunities are offered in
school supervised athletics for real
education?
IE the first place it must be admitted
that there is much physical benefit
derived from it. Activity, strength,
agility and self-poise are some OF it's re-
suits. These facts are SO patent to
every one as to scarcely need discus
sion,
Second, there is opportunity for
practice 10 effecting organizations,
Fcarrying on business meetings, giving
publicity to games, ETC., which cannot
fail to be OF value to every one con.
cerned.
Third, there Is the lesson OF tenn.
perance, which IL SO effectively taught.
It is an admitted fact that no athlete
can afford to drink or smoke. 1t Is a
practical fact brought home to the
boys In an effective way.
Fourthly, aud 1t is of this that wish
most to speak, every amateur athlete
should learn somewhere the lessons oil
courtesy, fairness and self control
There Ia apt to grow up in communities
much given to athletic contests a spirit
