Excerpt from Play and Athletics: Care of the Body, Playground Games and Equipment, Athletic Contests, Organization of Meets, Leagues, Etc
This Bulletin is primarily for assisting members of the University Interscholastic League in the organization and conduct of athletic contests, in training for the same, and in matters of physical education and playground activities generally. The Constitution of the League provides for county and district contests and a final meet in athletics, as well as contests in debate and declamation. Many teachers, especially in rural schools, have had no training in organized play and athletics, and consequently hesitate to enter their schools in the contests. This Bulletin is designed to aid such teachers, as well as the pupils. The detailed rules governing regular track athletics are given in the Bulletin containing the Constitution of the League, hence they are not repeated here.
The annual membership fee for each school in the League is $1.00. This fee should be sent to E. D. Shurter, Chairman, or to A. J. Robinson, Treasurer, University Station, Austin, Texas. Payment of the fee entitles a school to enter both the public speaking and the athletic contests, and so receive loan libraries and the special bulletins prepared for the assistance of schools in training for the contests.
Besides this Bulletin, each member of the League will receive free four copies of Bulletin 291 on Compulsory Education and also one or more copies of Bulletin 292, on Literary Societies, Debating, etc. A copy of Bulletin 274, containing the Constitution of the League, will be sent on request to any person in the State.
