Somewhere, therefore, there must be a training ground — a “test center” for the everyday acts that will one day be our lives.

We gain nothing if bodies sound enough to carry us through life are nothing ... we gain noth- ing if fun and excitement are noth- ing ... we gain nothing if sports- manship and the ability to accept defeat are nothing.

PRACTICE: For the boys, in basketball ; for Mr. Scanlon, in his profession.
