cities quoted her words:
Girls Athletics as Important as Boys.
Girls athletics are OF equal inn
portance with boys, but based upon
entirely different fundamental prin-
ciples. l wish we might break away
entirely from the idea that in order
to have athletics for girls we must
approach the subject from mans
point of view and that we might
face the issue squarely and evolve
our own sports, regardless Of wheth-
or or not they coincide with those OF
men. 1t is as illogical to my mind
to attempt to establish the use OF
mems athletics for girls and women
as to fit circle into a square, which
obviously only touch each other at
certain points"
How did you come to undertake
such a task?" a reporter asked Miss
Burchenal, relative to the organic
ing Of the Girls Branch of the Pub
lie Schools Athletic League, OF
which she is executive secretary.

Just took me by the neck and pulled
me out of Teachers College. Right
in the middle OF the term, too. He
stood over me and made me write
my resignation, and saw that it was
handed in, and then he set me to
work organizing the Girls League.
First, you must know, he had pre-
pared prop to the work. You
know. he organized the Public
Schools Athletic League for boys,
and when its good results had been
demonstrated he wanted something
OF the sort for girls.
The Board of Education wasn't
able to handle the girl question just
then. so DR.. Gulick interested a num-
Der Of society women, headed by
Miss Catharine S. Leverich and Mrs.
Arthur ]. Trussell. and they formed
a girls branch for the purpose OF
providing similar opportunities for
girls and TO work out and put into
practice suitable athletics for them.
Volunteer Organization Formed.
THE first organization meeting
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-07-12

was held on November 20, 1905, with
Miss Catharine S. Leverich as preSl-
dent, and | was appointed assistant
secretary and instructor in folk
dancing and athletics, and went to
work trying out the field in Dccem-
Der. They put it into my hands to
work out something.
The first thing ! did was to find
cut what was going on in the
schools already A few high schools
had basketball with no especial rules,
and a few had interschool play.
There were no forms OF athletics at
all in elementary schools. The thing
to do was to take what was in hand
and do something with it.
Trophies Offered TO Encourage Girls.
ITO encourage basketball, OF
which few high school girls knew
something, trophies were offered,
with an individual pin to the win
ner. Intcrschool contests were abol-
ished and a uniform set OF rules
women's rules. you know-wcre es-

standard form OF athletics for girls.
Il sent out a QUESTIONABLE to peo-
ole all over the ountry-pcople who
were experienced in the training OF
girls physically-ard gathered intor-
nation from everywhere what to do.
We next offered free instruction in
athletics and games to teachers in
exchange for ore hour week on the
part of each after school hours, VIII IN
the girls need such recreation most
we worked at this for four years
when it was shown that after school
athletics had become such an impo1-
tant thing in children's lives that
other cities were sending commit
tees here to study the system and

were copying it in their schools Al
this time l was appointed inspector
of athletics on the Board of Educa-
ton.
First Organized Athletics in High
Schools.
The first organized athletics was
in the high schools, where basket
ball was played according to rules
for women, and then while | tried
out the forms of athletics best suited
to younger girls l introduced folk
cancing, which proved a wonderful
attraction to them and also to the
teachers.
This folk dancing was brought
into the elementary schools and kept
the children entertained and trained
them toward athletics. The thing l
introduced folk dancing for was just
the contrary of what it is largely be-
ing taught for in many places. The
whole idea has been distorted.
Does Not Evolve Self-Conscious Girls.
81 did not want to evolve selt-con-
scious, graceful girls, but to provide
girls with carefully selected folk

training them and giving them op-
portunities for playing other col
legcs. This mistake is being realized
and Harvard is taking the lead in
rectifying tin seeing 10 it that ath-
letics are for all the boys and dis
couraging the ccntring OF effort
upon few.
The tendency now is for athletics
for all. and in order to get all the
girls interested | experimental with
the things which would hold their
attention, offered trophies and de-
veloped the idea of extensive sth-
letics and no interschool games. The
Board of Educ alton has adopted that
feature of our league work. My or

New York. a slight, graceful
young thing. with look OF
breezcs and sunshine in her face,
who has accomplished the feat of or
ganizing athletics for $4,000 girls
enough girls to populate big city!
She has formed clubs that enroll
members at the rate OF 10000 a sea
son; she has decided what shall and
shall not be done in the way of sth
letics for girls of different ages; for
mulated rules for games and adapted
every physical exercise to the needs
of the characters and physical de-
velopment OF the girls in her charge.
The athlete who did all this is
Miss Elizabeth Burchenal. Her
work is known and copied in every
part OF the civilized world. AS for
California, it would not rest until
the whole western coast had secured
a visit and instruction in her meth
eds from Miss Burchenal.
The West Enthusiastic About Her
Work.
California, Washington and Ore
gon will talk very freely about the
d work of this woman. who is so mod
est and retiring that in her home
city only the vivid applause of thou
sands of girls at some great park
fete arranged by her proclaims pub
licly the immense work which she
has accomplished for the public
good.
When this unathletic looking wo-
man with the seeing eyes and ready
understanding set about her task OF
bringing better health, higher moral
standards and more happiness into
the lives Of New York's schoolgirls
she found that the problems involved
in girls athletics were much more
difficult than those in boys, since
the athletics of boys and men have
been established through a long his
tory of evolution, while girls ath-
letics were new subject, which, if
necessary, had to be largely expert

schools here. without the original
aim at all and without helping the
child in the proper way.
Meantime. while organizing the
clubs in high schools and athletic
dances in elementary schools, | took
che school and experimental with
what the opinions OF experienced
physical instructors considered best
for growing girls. In this school l
worked out my athletic events.
Childs Instincts Primitive.
Il find that the instincts of child
are those of primitive peoples. Dis
cover the things that primitive pco-
pie do and they will be found just
the things for the child. You can't
bring primitive things to the chill
dren; you must take the children
back to them, so far as exercises and
amusements which affect child's
wellbeing are concerned.
II have drawn up a statement OF
what is best in games, folk dances
and athletics, which my organization
has adopted, and we are putting 1t
I'D to the Board of Education to
act on.
Newcomb a New Game.
And, speaking OF games, do you
know the game newcomb? 1t is
more like basketball than any other
game, and it is a fine thing in Miss
Bacr to have invented it. Only once
il. a generation does some one in
vent a new game-not that often. IN
fact, and yet people are working at II
all the time. 1t is absurd for girls
to play mems rules, and game that
is not only played by womens rules
but devised especially FOR women is
great event in athletics.
"Of course, we all repeat the ole
saw about a sound mind being in
sound body and that vigorous girls
will stand we'll in classes, but one
way in which we insure this end Il
to prohibit girls who do not stanC
we'll in their classes from taking par
in athletic games. You may be SUR
they keep up their standing, because
thew love athletics. On the othe
hand, the games selected for then
make for quick thinking, wide awake
ness, alertness.
Games Combat Precocious Interests
Then. too, the games have helpe
to combat what has made prccociou
little girls, whose end in life SCENE
to be moving picture shows an
boys. Our league has been the onl
thing to counterfeit that. The girl
must have some interest, some pleas
urc. and they get it nav in athletl
games ard happy, wholesome asso
citation with young people.
"One of the greatest things in fol
dancing has been its effect upon tn
teachers who have devoted them
selves to teaching athletics. 1t ha
kept the teachers interested. The
love their work in dancing an
teaching these athletic dances. Th
opportunity of learning these ha
been such an opening to the teach
ers. 1t has been a real pleasure t
