He is convinced that Industry, Goodness, Truth, and Respect for the Rights of the Individual, basic values in Western culture, can be taught in even the most ordinary tasks of everyday school living. This accounts for his studied care for each individual--student, tea- cher,or worker-in his organization.

z4zf4!ez!6ce ,-4-be 5 Inter-school athletic programs should be considered as a part of the school curriculum, since they are educational in purpose and Content. This is the view of Mr. Vic Clark, athletic director of McAllen High School, whose long career in sports began with his winning seven letters at P.S.j.A,, three in football and a captaincy, two in baseball and a captaincy, and two in basketball. He later as a head coach, made the record of 40 won, 39 lost, and two tied. Competition offers increased opportunity, says Mr. Clark, for improving playing skills, devel- oping physical vigor, promoting real friendship, and learning good sportsmanship, as well as providing a chance to leam the rules of everyday living. While at Texas Western, from which he was graduated with B.A. and M.A. degrees,he lettered three years in football, was on the Little All-American, and led the con- ference in passing for two years. Mr. Clark has coached at Bowie We Y - M ag. s .lg 5 Q' NF High School, El Paso, Olton High DEMOCRACY School, Olton, Texas, Tulia High IS School, Tulia, Texas, and at WON ON McAllen.
