Session Wednesday Night Starts
Full Program of Central Area Con-
vention; 800 Attend from 9 States

Sounding the keynote of the four-day
Central District Physical Education con-
vention which has attracted 800 dele-
gates from nine’ states to Minneapolis,
Alfred Anderson, president, told the first

tion to win with honor rather than to
win at any cost should be one of the
principle by-products of any program of
physical education.”

He made these suggestions for increas-
ing sportsmanship among students: Em-
phasize fair-play in the primary grades.
Foster co-operation of pupils in all grades
in evaluating citizenship behavior of
their schoolmates. Improve the training
of athletic teachers. Emphasize vigorous
sports activities, especially of the out-
door type..
