BADGE TESTS ADOPTED
| FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS
Delaware lnterscholastic A. A.
Agrees on Plan as Feature
of Program.

At recent meeting OF the Delaware
Interscholastic Athletic Association,
resolution was passed adopting BADGE
tests for physical fitness "a n feature Of
the regular athletic program of the
public schools OF the State. This ac-
tion WAS a long step in the direction Of
developing an interest among tho boys
and girls in training and keeping 1T.
In spite OF the many advantages of
our prevailing system OF athletics by n
team representing school. long
standing failure of athletic sports has
been their appeal mainly TO tho strong
est and most active boys, and neglect
of the weaker fellows nnd those most
in need of training and physical up
building. Many means OF stimulating
those not likely 10 become athletic
stars in the sports have been suggested
but none have proved more successful
than that OF awarding. by badges of
distinction, every effort OF every indi-
vidual 10 attain set standards of at
tainment within his reach. II is no
longer necessary for n hoy or girl 10
make the team" I'm order to have a
share in the honors and physical bene-
fits derived from training for distinct
i've events Every child In our schools
needs incentives TO make the most OF
his capacities in every direction For
this reason. tho badge tests for physical
fitness are admirable.
Tho plan OF the badge tests in hrtef
is this A specified number OF activities
or feats performed entities the boy or
girl TO a badge. Such feats as halanc-
ing Ginning bar, throwing n basket :
bail for distance. standing broad jump
and running high Jump. and dashes are
some Of the performances required 20
win a badge. The stunts" are graded
progressively. tho easiest being plar ed
first on tho list. Only those in tho first
list can be passed in the fret year; the
next passed IN tho second year by those
holding the ftrst badge. and the third
passed in tho third year by those hold-
ing the aecond badge II required,
therefore. three Years to complete the
tests For the successful passing OF
the first test the boy or girl is awarded
a bronze badge. The prize for tho sec
ond year ia a sflver badge. and In the
third wear and test, a gold medal ts
awarded Only those holding the lower
may compete for tho higher ranks. Two
sets Of performances are outlined. one
for girls and tho other for boys, and the
nrtzos are the same for both.
