he School Motto
The boys seem quite to have got hold of their school motto : " In all things be men."
The sports was not entered into for sport's sake, but for the result. Boys should have strong bodies, so that they may help others who have weak ones ;about this we will speak when we come to " citizenship." The curriculum was to enhance the mental capabilities through sports sprite, students were prepared physically and mentally to face the daily challenges and to serve the nation with full potential.
A glance at the scheme will show what it entails.
(i) Mind. You will notice that we have given mathematics equal marks with history and geography not because mathematics is equal to history in the University examinations (it is marked a great deal higher), but because the boys take kindly to mathematics and they do not care for history : again they care nothing for hand-writing or general knowledge, hence we give more marks for these.
Fewer marks to mind than body because Kashmiri boys prefer their books to their bodily exercise, as the former brings in rupees in the end, and the latter does not.
(ii) Body. Although the marking for body looks no easy matter, it is not really SO difficult, for each master is only responsible for the boys in his class, i.e. about twenty five, and if he is always in the field or water with them on compulsory days (which he has to be) he naturally knows those who are keenest on games. For marks in sports are not given necessarily to the best cricketer or swimmer, but to the boy who tries most.
