uity, from the caber of Scotland to theslings of the South Sea Islanders. There has been no finer sport or bet-ter means of development yet discoveredthan these same field and track sportswhich antedate history. They may bepracticed with the simplest form of equipment—or with the most elaborate;in costume the most complete or themost impromptu—the North AmericanIndian required none at all. A countryroad, a village street, a level field—theplace is easily provided and requires littlepreparation. The contest itself brings into play thefinest qualities of the human body andspirit—speed, strength, agility, endur-ance, courage, fairness, everything thatmakes for good sportsmanship. So manyand varied are the events that practicallyany healthy, well-developed boy mayfind one at least in which he can showa more than average degree of excellence.And when he has attained that excel-lence he will hardly know himself forthe increased sense of bodily power andfitness that will possess him.
