Mr. Walsh should have led the pupils to enjoy another game and should
have said nothing about the one he disliked. Having decided upon what to
substitute for this one he should say: “I know of a game I believe you
will all enjoy. I will show you how it is played.” To insure enthusiasm
in the new play he should speak to two or three of the leaders among the
pupils, a day or two before the game is introduced, saying, “I know of a
fine game that I think we ought to play here; as soon as I find time I
will teach it to you. You are quick to see into a new proposition, so I
want you to help me get it started as soon as you understand how it is
played.”
