OTTAWA NORMAL SCHOOL YEAR BOOK me 1928 Athleiicy and Education HE question of the interaction of athle- tics on education has often presented itself as a very serious problem to the mind of the educator. The records of many institutions prove that athletics, when over-indulged in, are detrimental to study. On the other hand, the programme that fails to em- brace the practice of athletics omits one of the most vital factors in the upbuilding of character. The problem then is to so combine the working of the athletic and literary departments of schools and colleges as to secure a well-balanced and harmonious development of the whole man, physical and intellectual. The great value of athletics lies in the possi- bility they afford in the formation of those sturdy and virile elements that go to make up strength of character. Lacking this strength of character no man's education can be said to be complete. Hence a moderate and reasonable amount of athletics should form a part of the programme of activities in every institution. This is so far recognized that physical culture classes have been introduced under government sanction. On the students themselves, athletics-foob ball, baseball, hockey-work for good in many ways. They divert the super-abundant energy of youth, otherwise so prone to find an outlet in mischief, into useful channels. The proceedings in connection with their club-ofhcers furnish most useful lessons in elementary civics and self-government. The teacher who is able to take a leading part in the school or college athletics has another means of influencing his class for good. If he is able to show that he has not forgotten his own boyhood and can still see the boy's viewpoint he can more readily win his heart and exert a wholesome ascendancy. This will tend to make him popular with them and hence dispose them more readily to please him by good work in the classroom. At the same time by his firm insistence on 100 per cent work during class hours he will exercise a powerful check on over- doing the thing on the gridiron or race track and teach a useful lesson in moderation.

There's fun in whatever we do, At Normal! It's a singular thing but it seems to be true, At Normal! We are bored by the tests, And the endless quests For matter and method of lesson plans, too. But well we're repaid When our work is an aid In raising the standard of knowledge anew, There's fun in whatever we do, At Normal! LILLIAN M. STONESS. ! 31 A Refverie I went to pick some violets, In the merry month of May. The vale was so entrancing, That I was forced to stay. Admiring Natures beauty, For my spirit held the sway. And as I sat in fancy, Prince Charming came to me, Bringing Arabian perfumes, And smiling eyes that see The soul, and kissed my cheek, But, 'twas only reverie. The sun had smiled upon me, And the wind had kissed my cheek. The perfumes of Arabie Were the scents of violets meek, That nodded there beside me, And that I had come to seek. M.A1.DvTH DAVIS
