26 The VENTURE who can estimate their effect upon his mind and character? It was in his first boxing match that he learned never to acknowledge defeat or cry quarter. Fair play and team work are the foundation of inter-scholastic ath- letic contests. This sense of fair play is a distinguishing American trait and one that needs even more culti- vation, so that it may the better war against the intolerance, oppression, and class spirit that young people are sure to meet in later life. No- where can true sportsmanship be better cultivated than in these school athletic contests. The athlete and the school that he represents, if they do not wish the scorn of their world, must learn to be generous winners and good losers. Team play is another valuable les- son that athletic sports can teach. No school can have a successful team in which all the players are stars. Individuals must learn to bend their energies to the success of the team as a whole, and not work for their own credit or glory. This team play and spirit of loyalty to an organiza- tion are qualities necessary to success in business and in the duties of citi- zenship. Nowhere! can the growing boy learn them better than on the football field or the baseball diamond. There he must play up! play up! and play the game. But you taxpayers, and you fath- ers and mothers, in particular, while conceding much of what I have just said about the useful and valuable lessons that sports have to teach, are thinking, I fear, that in spite of all their undoubted advantages, football and baseball take too much time from studies. Perhaps they did in your day, but not now. Strict rules, agreed to by all secondary schools, and even printed and distributed for ready reference, govern high school sports today, and one of the strictest of these rules is that which says that the individual player must be up in all his studies or off the team he goes. Many a boy digs in at some hard or distasteful subject to keep on the team, who might otherwise fail, become discouraged, and leave school before real ambition can be aroused in him. Modern athletic contests are a help rather than a hindrance to the scholastic standing of the partici- pants. When we consider the complexities of modern life, and all the tempta- tions that modern youth must meet and conquer, we must admit that the physical development, the mental clarity that the athlete gains, the lessons of sportsmanship and loyalty that he learns are a valuable equip- ment with which to face the future, and that these are quite as likely to pay dividends in character and suc- cess in later life as Algebra and Latin, valuable as these are. A sound mind in a sound body is the aim of the modern high school. But we go beyond that in our definition of edu- cation today. Education must fit the youth for all of life, must develop character. Side by side with the academic training goes the athletic, both working towards the same end, and each contributing its share to the desired whole. Charles N oyes.
