As a fact, however, it meant ab sorption of thought in something that was exciting and morally disturbing. To educationalists this was a matter of con siderable importanes. There could be no doubt that difficulty had been created in elementary schools, probably also in all schools, arising out of the fascination involved in the varied forms of gamble irg. It was also a serious matter to the economist. Most people readily admit ted the value of what was called the spirit of true sportsmanship. That could only result when the game was plated for its own sake. There had been ample evidenes in the football world and in
