Medals Urged for Slow Runners And Poor Players in Athletics
New York May 18. Dr Henry Pritchett in his Carnegie Foundation annual report advocates a radical shift in school sports and education. He calls for awarding equal medals for effort, organizing teams alphabetically, and keeping chronic failures visible to stress personal progress. He says sports are educative and urges reform of mental contests and a new public school rating above high school to foster intellectual discipline aligned with American conditions.
