But I do recommend some game as a part of\r\nrecreation. As long as I could see to play and sufficient tennis, I enjoyed\r\nimmensely the game of real or court skill, a very ancient game, requiring activates\r\nas well as some pride, because for the first time, at any rate in the recent\r\nhistory of the game, an amateur is champion of the sometimes criticized for\r\npaying too much attention to games. Football is a national game of America as\r\nwell as in England but I do not suppose that either you or we think that our soldiers\r\nfought any worse in the war of having been fond of football. I put games definitely\r\nas a desirable part of recreation, and I would say: have one or more games of\r\nwhich you are fond, but let them have any rate in youth be activity of the\r\nwhole body, as well as skill,
Sport shall be mentioned next. I have had a\r\nliking for more than one form of sport, but an actual passion for salmon and\r\ntrout fishing. Salmon fishing, as I have enjoyed it, fishing not from a boat\r\nbut from one’s feet, either on the bank or wading deep in the stream, is a\r\nglorious and sustained exercise for the whole body, as well as being an\r\nexciting-sport; but many of my friends do not care for it. To them, I say, as\r\none who was fond of George Meredith’s Novels once said to be man who complained\r\nthat he should not read them, ‘why should you?’ if you do not care for fishing,\r\ndo not fish. Why should you? But if we are to be one equal term and you are be\r\none the same happy level as I hav3e been, then find something for yourself\r\nwhich you like as much as I like fishing.

According to the writer, games are a part of:
Each nation has its own peculiar character\r\nwhich distinguishes it from others. But the people of the world have more\r\npoints in which they are all like each other than points in which they are\r\ndifferent. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who\r\nalways tried to do as little as he possibly can and to get as much in return as\r\nhe can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is\r\nstrictly necessary and is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare\r\neverywhere.
Both these types are usually unconscious of\r\ntheir character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his ‘rights’;\r\nhe appears to think that society owes him a pleasant easy life. The man who is\r\nalways doing more than his sheer talks of ‘duties’ feels that the individual is\r\nin debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their\r\nview, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.
Which of the following thinks that the individual\r\nis in debt to the society?

The purpose of education is to make the student\r\nan expert in his subject. This must be clearly understood, and mere mudding\r\nthrough lessons and lectures and books and passing examinations are relegated\r\nto secondary importance as means to the end-which is excellence in the field\r\nchosen.
But there are so many fields, and no man can\r\nbecome an expert in all the fields it is necessary to decide which fields are\r\nimportant ones that a man should know well.
It is clear that one’s own work is the most\r\nimportant. This has been realized and modern civilization has accordingly\r\nprovided vocational education. It is now possible to acquire high professional\r\nskill in the various fields, medicine, engineering production, commerce and so\r\non-but with good and bad mixed together, and no standard for guidance.
