This is the phase of athletics that we are interested in at present. Don’t stay in and grow pale and droopy because you think there is not a y° ur scho01 stronger and better? place for you on the team, for there is a chance for every one. Come out*and let your players see that you are interested in them and that the whole school is stand ing behind them ready to support them in any way. Co-operation and unselfishness are the bases of all team work. All players must co-operate with each other and with the coach to make a good, successful team. One must not allow the personal element to come in. When playing remember the other fellow and don’t fail to ap preciate her work. Fair play, is not merely the abiding by the written rule, but the avoiding of taking undue advantages.

The Baptist Sunday schools off South Carolina registered one off the greatest annual gains in en rollments in recent times durzog 1930. During, 1929 there were 167,015 enrolled in the Baptist Skn- day schools of this state. The im reports show 177,636 enrolled, tfms registering a gain of 10,621 in ana year. According to the statement of Mr. J. L. Corzine, state director of Sunday school and B. Y. P. LL work, this record has been excelled in recent times only once, when, in 1927, the Sunday school enrollment of this denomination was increased by 23,165. There are now, accord ing to Mr. Corzine’s report, almost as many persons enrolled in Bap tist Sunday schools as there ane members of the Baptist churches. To make these two membersiizp figures (church and Sunday school) equal is one of the im mediate aims of the denomina tional leader. An aim of HUM increase for 1931 has been set and each of the 38 associaitons in tbe state has been given a proportian- ate part of this total as their quota aim for increased enraD- ment. One of the hopeful signs of the times is the great increase in Sunday school enrollment reg istered by the various denomina tions.
