Printed Matter

Every war produces Its own lltera-
ture, but the present struggle has
excelled all others in the number
and variety Of books and pamphlets
it has stimulated. The American
Library Association, in a selected
list" of United States Government
publications, reviews the material
already available to the general
reader as we'll as the specializing
student
How vast range of activity nee
esSarily is included in any such
survey may be guessed from the fact
that the titles reported are divided
for practical convenience into eight
different classiications: Armed serv-
ices, civilian defense, industry,
national defense, reconstruction,
technical training, wartime training
and history. The catalogue begins
with a bulletin sponsored by the
Office of Education explaining the
requirements for entrance, reStric-
tionS, pay and allowances, promotion
and nature of duties of the Army,
Navy, air forces, marines, Coast
Guard, nurses, etc, totaling forty
eight closely printed pages to be had
from the Superintendent OF Docu-
ments, Government Printing ONCE,
for ten cents copy. At the opposite
extreme are two leaflets on The War
Chronology" March, 1898, to April,
1912, reproduced from the Depart
ment of State Bulletin, distributed
gratis by the United States Informa-
ton Service.
Some of the subjects naturally are
more attractive than others. For
example, The Army Cook" a War

nique which the British later used so
effectively against Rommel in Egypt.
No doubt most of the men who
then comprised the Third Army are
strung out now along the combat
fronts, profiting from the lessons
which General Kruger drilled into
them. Perhaps some of them are in
Australia and if so there can be no
doubt as to the character Of recep-
ton the general received when the
troops realized that once again they
were to serve under their old COM

School Athletics Discussed
In Light of Wartime Needs.

To the Editor of The Star:
Have our high school varsity athletic
programs failed to fit our boys for the
life they must lead today? .-.-
The Army, Navy and Air Corps have
commissioned as captains, majors, and
lieutenant commanders many big-time
coaches and athletes to condition the
schoolboys now entering the armed
forces, and they are doing good job.
High schools are beginning to step up
activities to make boys physically and
emotionally fit to stand the stress of
battle, but for too long the educators
have toyed with the varsity teams and
done very little to extend neuro-mus-
cular development to the masses of boys
Physical directors, labeled coaches, still
spend much time preparing varsity
squads. Most of the money for athletics
is spent on these teams. Where there is
but one gym or one field, the school
team uses it practically every afternoon.
Ninetyfive per cent of the boys and
girls exercise in the bleachers. The
coach works every afternoon and often
on Saturday. He usually reports to work
when other teachers do Can any one
imagine that he gives much teaching
energy to the two or three hundred boys
who report to gym for about 80 minutes
Of work two or three times week? Our
high school girls in the mass have always
been much better taught but, of course,
the women teachers seldom coach or
work late after school. Too much of the
gym hour has been short periods of play
in touch football, basket ball, softball and
little else.
Since the Army has shown us that
the present crop of young men is not
as strong nor as enduring as normal
youth should be. what are we doing about
it? Too many principals and coaches
measure success in terms of winning
championships.
1t is an old story that the high school
varsity teams coached by college athletes
have copied the college varsity programs
The high school team is justified as
means of demonstrating excellent play
and standards of sportsmanship, and for
stimulating emulation on the part of
Evening star., 1943-02-22

the masses of boys in the school. But
what does this amount to. if there is no
provision for intramurals or increased
play on the part of these motivated boys?
Instead of one team, there should be
at least three varsity squads, and each
team should engage in contests spurred
by lnterschool rivalry. The coach should
be compensated for overtime or given
late hour for arriving at his post, If he
Is to teach gym classes. We should
eliminate the scholastic rule.
In Baltimore, for many years, the
Board of Education has subsidized inter-
school athletics. Small schools have not
been able to equip squads, secure game
materials, officials and pay other ex-
penses on par with larger schools. 1t
is just as costly to put uniforms on
squad of 30 football players in a small
school as in large school, and officials
must be paid as much. In Baltimore
coaches of major teams receive $3.50
season in addition to their regular sala-
ries to compensate for the extra hours
and energy spent in the late afternoons
and on Saturdays. Minor team sponsors
are given $l00 per season. A school with
1000 students, or a school in a neigh
borhood where the parents are Door
should not have to be strained to support
financially program that brings them
into competition with wealthier parent
teacher agencies or student bodies of
from 5000 to 5000 pupils.
Every major team athlete should be
required to learn to swim. If he goes
into the armed forces in this era of
overseas travel an ability to handle
himself in water will be comforting and
perhaps life-savng.
1t is all right to point with pride to
the general or admiral who made his
letter on the varsity squad years ago.
we know lot of men today are wearing
shoulder insignia largely because of
stardom in athletic circles. But in war.
When these men go down in ships or
planes or retire, the boys who were not
good enough to get experience that ath-
letlc competitions and physical training
afford will take their places.
OuA 'ACtoiy SolpS nlgn SchOol physical
htness programs demand more athletic
teams, more players accompanied with
routine bodybuilding exercises. When
we get more boys and girls participating
and fewer exercising in the cheering
sections, many of the behavior problems
and emotional and physical fitness prob
lens will be on their way to solution.

@. What were the real facts behind the
song Praise the Lord and Pass the
Ammunition" &c. K.
A. The use Of the phrase has been
attributed in the past to each of two

no basis in fact behind the song and
that no chaplain on duty at Pearl Har-
Dor did anything or said anything which

help. Tackiness of raincoats made from
fabrics treated with oxidizable oils occurs
when they are stored after use without
first thoroughly drying Warmth and
moisture or conducive toward the for
nation of tackineSs. The Oil film cannot
be brought back to its original state, but
if it has not progressed too far. the
tacky portion can be removed, leaving
sufficient good oil for some further
service.

NEGRO PRESS INTRODUCED TO
INTERESTED STUDENT CLASSES

was interested in the equal treat
ment of personalities in the news
from the humblest to the highest.
Keen interest was shown by the
class and enthusiasm was so great
that they remained an hour after
class for discussion. Many who
had never heard of nor seen a Ne
gro newspaper were thrilled and
expressed themselves so, for the
chance to read one. Mrs. Feikema
said the attitude before the report
was one of unawareness and Curl
osity but when it was finished she
felt compensated for the time and
work she had put into the research
of her topic.
In a statement to this paper
Mrs. Feikema said, 81 can't say
l presented these facts in a cold,
Unconditional, objective manner. /
found myself dramatizing a situa-
ton which intrinsically has many
dramatic qualities. 1 believe it was
my earnestness which was conta-
gious. Perhaps it was the appeal
of the 'underdog' or the disadvan-
tagged group which is strong to
young people, especially students
they just had no idea. 1t is OBJ
vious that your real lives, your true
nature is seldom revealed to the
average white person. You need
publicity-I'm sure you are aware
of that. How to get it is another
thing.
81 haven't anything specific to Of
fer, but if there is anything you
think I could do for your newspaper
I should be very happy to attempt
it. 1 think knowledge and under
standing almost inevitably lead to
tolerance and fairness, and 1 think
it is obvious your people and your
press need both to be known and
understood. All journalism stu
dents should know about this i'm
portant section of American jour
nalism."
