In many schools throughout the
country there seems to exist Two
of grading one for the
athlete and one for the student VINO
does not participate in inter-schol-
astic games. This practice IN one
form or another seems so evident
not only in secondary schools, but
in COLLEGES as we'll, that the BELIEF
is prevalent that all schools make
it easy for the athlete to get through
whether this belief is well found !
ed or not the writer cannot say. lie
knows, however, that it is not true
in many schools, and hopes that II
is not carried to extremes IN any. {
Nillsboro is one school that insists
upon school work being given first {
place. After the regular scholastic
work is we'll taken care of, If pupil {
wishes to engage in eXtra-currlcularl I
activities, including inter-scholastic
games, he may do so. Though Mills J
Doro believes in good clean athletics
it does not believe the school eX- i
lists for athletics, but rather that c
athletics exist for the school. 1t is e
leld here that the dog should wag c
he tail and not the tail the dog. l
Whenever athletics are carried to l
such extremes that they interfere
With good school work, they should
De abolished. That is, if inter-schol-
lstic games do not promote health,
craftsmanship, citizenship, school
and better school work in l
they should not be played. l
Another belief that is often held, :
md in this section of the country,
without foundation, is to the effect 5
hat all high school boys during the e
ootball season are compelled to
