I am not trying to build up a case for not trying to win games. Far
too many teachers talk about building charaater, only when they know that thoy are
not producing 4 winner.

I know 2 successful baseball coach who had won a championship and tho
following year he was left with only a small handful of letter mon. When asked
about his chances of retaéining his championship he replied, "This is my year to
teach character". It was said jokingly, but it nevertheless represents the
attitude of too many teachers in the profession of physical educatione

If “the public wants teachers who can win and win cleanly, then they must
make their domandg ‘mown. The school board mombers will search for such men and
in their search it will become impressed on those in chargo of teacher training
institutions that selection is necessary.e The public gets what it wants from our
tax-supported institutions - if it talks loud enough. :

Lot us not look at winning as the prime achievement y but let us SOY;
"Did we win fairly." Let us have more of the type of men in the physical education
field whose leaving ‘would be a crime against society.
