BEHAVIOUR OF ATHLETES AT ARDMORE PRAISED
AUCKLAND, This Day (P.A.).—The behaviour of the Empire Games competitors was exemplary and there were no unpleasant incidents, said Mr T. Wilson, principal of the Ardmore co-educational training college, who acted as camp manager. The practice of housing men and women athletes under the same roof was in the nature of an experiment at the Games and it had nothing but beneficial' and pleasing results, he added. “It was an impressive sight to see in the lounges, dining room and social hall men and women of many nationalities mixing freely without reserve and, in good fellowship,” he said. It had been an irfteresting experience for the staff and students to mix freely with people of 12 different countries. That widening experience would be most valuable to future teachers.
