One of the centennial projects likely to have lasting benefit is the one aimed at improving athletic ability and participation in the public schools. This film shows how the project might ideally work out in one family. The children's enthusiasm to improve their own fitness infects their father and, though he never wins a medal, he better appreciates their pride in making the grade on the sports field.
