Opis: Athletes All - Camp Walter

Excerpt from Athletes All: Training, Organization, and Play

If there has been anything clearly demonstrated beyond cavil and question in our experience in this war, it is the great value of athletic sports in America. Not only have our fighters turned out to be effective, but the lessons of discipline, courage, and spirit inculcated on the athletic fields have been found to quicken very materially the processes of making civilians into soldiers. So much has this proven true and so impressive has the demonstration been that the American is now athleticizing (if one may use the word) all our foreign allies. True, England was the pioneer in athletic sports, but of late years much of the increased development and specializing has come from American sources, even though the spread of these games, together with the Olympic games, had introduced more nations to the enjoyment of athletic contests.
