520			_a"A Report on the Feasibility and Advisability of Some Policy to Inaugurate a System of Rifle Practice Throughout the Public Schools of the Country" by Gen. George W. Wingate and Gen. Ammon B. Critchfield is a governmental report published in the early 20th century. This scientific publication examines the potential benefits and methodologies for implementing rifle practice as part of physical education in public schools, particularly in the context of growing physical and social issues among urban youth during this period. The report details the successful introduction of rifle practice in New York City's public high schools, emphasizing the need for physical activity among boys who often lacked safe spaces for exercise. Through the use of innovative training equipment, such as the subtarget gun machine, the initiative aims to teach students marksmanship effectively and safely. The authors advocate for adopting similar systems across the nation, arguing that rifle training in schools could cultivate practical skills while deterring delinquency among youth. They recommend broadening the league's influence and encouraging educational authorities to support this program, highlighting its importance not only for individual development but also for national readiness in times of conflict.
