often
students who are very fond of reading books are labelled by their comrades as
book-worms Those disparagements generally come from the mouths of students who
consider themselves as being 'gamesters' Boys who shine in athletics or in the playing
of some game-particularly cricket, consider that the games' field is a better or nobler
arena for their activities and expenditure of their energies than the classroom or
the reading desk. The idea is born out of an inferiority complex inherent in the game-
minded students who actually envy their fellows who shine academically. Academic
honours have a glamour which is unique.
It is not to be denied that the playing of games is a worthy activity: it is worthy
in the sense that the team spirit can be engendered in the individual only if he has
learnt to participate in the playing of games. It is also true that the player does
much for society and for his country on the playing-field. It is true that the feeling
of cooperation can be cultivated in a person only through group activity. But studies
should not be sacrificed in order that students devote their time only to the playing of
games. It is my observation that the boys who become obsessed with playing, begin to
ignore their studies and then their academic ability suffers, as it must.)
Let each type of activity have its own place in our daily routine and only then, will
the balanced division of interests produce the individual with a proper perspective
of things. Then will we have the student who is both academically good and who can
hold his own on the games' field. That is the personality that we want our educational
system to produce mention the two qualities that we can acquire through playing games as quoted by the writer
