 MEET ID BE A
 FAIR FEATURE
invitations Sent To All Educa- tionaI Institutions In the Ter rory To Send Teams To Compete for the Prizes.

Claude D. Jones, superintendent of the department of athletics of the Territorial Fair Association, has just issued a circular letter to the faculties 1 and the athletic coaches of the higher institutions of learning in the territory | of Arizona in which he says:
 The fair commissioners, in the in- | terest of education in the territory. | and especially in the interest of the | physical education of the young men l in schools, have made provision for, i, and have authorized certain track and field events, to be held this fall during the Arizona fair, November to If. It is the policy of this department to interest every school in the territory not already active in this important phase of our educational work. There fore I strongly urge the management of every school eligible to give this proposition serious consideration, to the end that each school shall be rep resented by contestants in one or more of the events Obviously. our common object is to encourage clean and manly sport, and I believe that this can best be accomplished only under proper di- rection. Professionalism and special ization in athletics are not encouraged Rather, the developing of allaround athletic men; to turn out true sports men who love fair play. whether ac- eompanied by victory or defeat, and who are willing to play the game hard Other things being equal, the man who meets these preliminary conflicts of life will be better prepared to win out in the greater and fiercer conflicts soon to bear down upon him when he goes out to contest with the world. The largest success. therefore, in this somewhat neglected phase of our preparation of the young man for life | is made possible only by the earnest cooperation of every teacher and student of the schools in Arizona. Ac. tuated solely in the interest of broad. CT education, I appeal to my fellow teachers for cooperation in this great movement May we fulfil more fully | the ideal of education set forthby the sound body"
