Question

UNSEEN PASSAGE
Often students who are very fond of reading books are
labelled by their comrades
as bookworms. 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 the expenditure of their
energies than the classroom or the reading desk. The idea is
born out of an inferiority complex inherent in the games
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 th 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
those boys who become obsessed with the playing,
particularly of cricket, begin to ignore their studies and then
their academic ability suffers, as it must.
