NEW YORK. Watten J. Heyliger argues that Germany’s failure to foster fair play through a national sport and boys’ literature explains its wartime brutality. He cites his work with youth, scouts, and sports as shaping character, urging America to combine competitive sport with literature to nurture honor and fair dealing.

The American Spirit and German Athletic Ideals Clash
A dialogue contrasts American sport as personal and moral with German sport as impersonal and brute. It cites gymnasium focus, duelling, and a German ace’s letter about a doomed airship incident, arguing moral stamina builds the soul alongside the body while brute force weakens a nation. The excerpt ends amid a note about Vancouver civil employes and a return to duty after a victory.
