When a child has filed a blank duly signed, he may be excused from practices or games only upon written request from his parents. Must Not Conflict The academic teachers are supplied with a list of practice and playing dates and must arrange any after--school make-up periods or disciplinary pen- ances, if such are deemed necessary, so as not to conflict with the athletic program. This matter of conflict be- tween athletic activity and academic work has been fully debated by the faculty of the school, and agreement has been reached with practical nuani- mity. We have decided that if the athletic program has worth because of its mental, moral, and physical train- ing, the academic departments are no more justified in attempting to force the athletic department to carry the weight of delinquency in academic work than the athletic department would be justified in requiring the children to miss their English or mathematics class because they had not reported to foot- ball practice. This attitude toward ath- letics is perhaps novel, but we feel that it is absolutely sound. The result has been to place on the academic teachers responsibility for making their own work sufficiently vital to enlist the children's interest and willing response. In other words, the teaching has been improved. Evenly Matched Teams After the application blanks are signed, the children are grouped first by weight and then by skill and play- ing ability. The aim is to secure as many evenly matched teams as is pos- sible within. the determined weight classifications. The formation of teams is usually preceded by three or four weeks practice, which, for many of the children, means learning the rudi- ments of the game. From the show- ing made by the individuals during the preliminary practice period, the play- ing ability of each indvidual is judged and it thus becomes possible to make team assignments which are reasonably well balanced. Last year during the basketball season the boys were divided into three major groups--the middle- weights and the lightweights among the boys of some playing ability and a group of boys of limited training. The North Shore Country Day school, a private school located in Winnetka, has adopted approximately the same general scheme for its after- school athletic program, and its teams are entered in competition with our teams of similar standing. Thus, three leagues were formed, in each of which three or more teams were competing. The decisions with regard to the win- ning teams were figured on a percent- age basis.
