(the Coaches To discover, to train, and to perfect, this is the threefold duty of the coach. Promising material must be found, de- veloped and tested by competition with groups. The student interested in training in music, dramatics, or athletics, owes it to himself, to the school, and community to make the most of opportunities avail- able. The coach is ready to give you that training. No matter what the field, the coach sees possibilities, gives encourage- ment, points out defects, dwells long and patiently on details of perfection and in- stills the iron will “to do.” After the training comes the testing. Athletic meets, music contests, debates, and dramatic contests arc the methods of testing real ability. The coach sits by helplessly. It is up to the student to put forth their best efforts. Even with the best coaching in the world, half the chances for winning depend upon the native ability of the student. Alberdine Jontry.
