virtue as unselfishness, courageous, discipline and love of one country; and what is learning in the books cannot has
the same impact on child's character as who is learnt by experience. The ordinary day school cannot gave much
practice training in living because most out of the pupil's time has spent in classes to study lessons. So, it is why the
pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to taking the place in society as citizens when they are growing
up. If each of them learn to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to
work for the good of his country's instead only for his own benefit.
