ABSTRACT
The experience of the war has shown that the young people of this country can respond to situations demanding courage and endurance; these qualities, we should hope, will be directed during the school days to activities which give them scope and which lead to occupations making the same demands in the circumstances of peace… The raising of personal performance, won through the surmounting of individual difficulties by discipline and endurance, is of profound moral significance, as well as physical. Individual effort to surpass one’s own achievement, no less than teamwork and co-operation, is altogether to be encouraged. Among such standards we should certainly welcome carefully devised tests of endurance, of resourcefulness and enterprise suggested by the nature of the surrounding countryside.
