Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spalding's Official "Soccer" Football Guide: 1915-16 How this great progress has been achieved is told in the following pages in articles from the pens of the men most conspicuous in bringing matters to their present admirable status. We would like to call the attention of the officers of the various state and district organizations to the article herein by Mr. George Healey, president of the Michigan State Soccer Association, especially with reference to the wonderful work that organization has accomplished in developing soccer in the public schools. The very best work that can be done toward the develop ment of the game is. To get it into the public schools, where the boys can learn it in their formative stage, and once they have learned the game, their fondness for it will exist beyond their school days and they will develop into excellent timber for championship organizations. If all of our State associa tions would take the same interest shown by the men of Michigan, it would be but a little while before soccer would be as great a winter game in the United States as it has ever been in England.
