Abstract
The .time has come to instill in the minds of those who are closely connected with recreational work that recreation is education and that participation in athletics is a mighty factory in the formation of character. In building up the bodies and minds of our people, and imparting in them the principle of good sportsmanship, athletic directors of municipal organizations are laying the foundation of good citizenship.
With this conviction in mind the author has considered athletics in their relationship to education. The view is expressed here that man is prepared by nature to engage in competitive activities of athletic character, that such profoundly affect his abilities, attitude s, and appreciations, and that therefore the conduct of athletics is of tremendous importance to education.
Cities are perfecting municipal athletic associations for the purpose of conducting amateur athletics to bring out the above traits.
