ATHLETICS IN

New York. Dec 27,-That the intro

public schools In the United States
has resulted in q so per cent improve
ment, not only In physique, but In
ethics. discipline and mental alertness
is the assertion of General George
Wingate, president OF the New York
Public Schools Athletic association.
He says in part;
The day OF experiments In this
matter of athletics has now long pass
ed 1t has not become established
upon such firm foundation in both
the schools and the public estimation
that its future Is assured,
With every year the standard OF
athletic ability IN our public schools
become higher and records which
were considered wonderful when made
are surpassed, alertness of mind and
body and the general exercise OF
strength resulting from the exercises
which the children have pursued.
Gratifying as this Is, from the physl-
cal side, the Improvement on the side
of ethics, school discipline and esprit
du corps Is even greater. fact which
has converted the supervising ana
teaching force OF the schools into firm
supporters OF the work.
The Public School association
formed In 1903. is now the largest
athletic organization in the world. Its
success has caused the formation OF
similar leagues in sixteen cities OF
the country and more are constantly
adopting its methods.
"A hundred thousand school chill
dren took active part in the assocla'
tion's competitions during the last
year. For example 32,750 children
participated in jumping contests,
while 14.50O boys competed In chin
ming" and 5000 in class running. Thir'
" thousand were entered In the vari'
Gus field day games, at which 3,7OO
medals and 100 banners were award
