44 WINNETKA TALK December 19, 1925 EXPLAIN SYSTEM OF PHYSICAL TRAINING Booklet Written by Winnetka School Leaders Gives Program in Junior High School Editor's note: Winnetka Talk has published many articles regarding the various phases of Winnetka's remark- able system of public school instrue- tion. Little emphasis, however, has been given the physical training side of the work, the development of boys and girls to make them robust and the inculcation of attitudes that make for good sportsmanship and fair-deal- ing. The accompanying article has been prepared and published in pam- phlet form jointly by Harry P. Clarke, director of physical education, and Willard Beatty, assistant superintend- ent of schools. It should be of inter- est to every parent of a school boy or girl. This is the second installment of the article, the first having appeared in the issue of Winnetka Talk of De- cember 12. Explain System A definite effort has been made to eliminate "razzing" from the play- ground. The following are the chil- dren's own words used in a letter sent to incoming seventh-grade pupils: Be a good sport--play the game for the sake of the game and win if you can. If you can't win--lose like a sport. Don't crab--the other fellow is just as square as you are. Every Skokie fellow wants to do the right thing, just as you do. . . . . It doesn't matter whether you have ever plaved before--you will never learn any younger. It doesn't matter how clumsy you think you are--there i: always someone who is clumsier. If you muff the ball, no one will laugh at vou, because Skokie players are good sports, and everyone is ready to help everyone else. LEARN Playground Enjoyable The result of this effort has been to make the playground enjoyable for children of all capacities, and we have practically no pupils who attempt to escape participation in the games or other playground activities. The only exceptions are children who have been excused on doctors' certificates. All this contributes to a healthy activity and an enthusiastic interest in bodily development, leading to an after-school sports program which we believe marks the greatest success of our entire plan. In order to stress our second aim, the following list of attitudes is kept before the children both by discussion and by example, and an. attempt is made to show their intimate relation to the sports program. 3 Analysis of Attitudes or Qualities Expressed in Action on the Playing Field 1.

We had been making the athletic emblem award to members of the win- ning teams in all after-school com- petition, but the effect of this emphasis on attitude appeared a year ago when the children, through their representa- tives on the student council, pointed out that many times the players who had shown the best sportsmanship and who had contributed most to the suc- cess of the athletic season were mem- bers of losing teams. At their sug- gestion, a new emblem was devised, the sportmanship emblem. This is now awarded to the member of each team who, in the opinion of his or her team mates, has contributed most, by good sportmanship and unselfish co-opera- tion, toward bringing success to his team. It is interesting to note that when these emblems are awarded, the recipient is frequently one who could not possibly be chosen as the best player on his team. The award of sport- manship emblems apparently meets with the indorsement of the entire stu- dent body, for that emblem is at the present time one of the most highly prized honors which a child can re- ceive. expressed through (Continued Next Week) The Boot Shoppe --Say it This Year with Comfy's Luxuriously Comfortable SATIN MULES D'ORSAY'S FELT HYLO SLIPPERS BREAKFAST BOOTS MOTOR BOOTS in SATIN and LEATHER QUILTED SATIN BOUDOIR SLIPPERS [t will be a delight to see the charming array of new styles The Boot Shoppe is now showing in Daniel Green Comfys.
