Abstract

During the last decade of the 19 th and first two decades of the 20 th century, the Cape Colony education authorities employed an instructional method known as physical training or physical training drill. This investigation expands on two previous studies that explored the Coronation Physical Training Competition (1902-1906). The low number of entries indicates that the Education Department was not serious in drawing a mass of learners to the competition. This article investigates the racial considerations behind this. The competition was organised in a post South African War (1899-1902) period where the education authorities asserted British racial superiority through their concern with race. The Coronation Physical Training Competition fitted into this agenda. Despite betrayal by the English during the post South African War negotiations, Black political movements and individuals continued seeking means to prove themselves loyal subjects of the King. Black schools therefore had no problem with competing in the Coronation Competition as second-class citizens. The education authorities held two Coronation competitions under the same banner. The competition was not only divided racially but differed in quality, favouring Whites.

通过加冕体育训练比赛锻炼“赛跑”
在19世纪的最后十年和20世纪的头二十年,开普殖民地教育当局采用了一种被称为体能训练或体能训练演习的教学方法。这项调查扩展了之前两项关于加冕体育训练比赛(1902-1906)的研究。报名人数少,说明教育署并没有认真吸引大批学生参加比赛。本文调查了这背后的种族因素。这项比赛是在南非战争后(1899-1902)时期举办的,当时教育当局通过对种族的关注,宣称英国的种族优势。加冕体育训练比赛符合这一议程。尽管在南非战争后的谈判中遭到英国人的背叛,黑人政治运动和个人继续寻求证明自己是国王忠诚的臣民的手段。因此,黑人学校作为二等公民参加加冕竞赛是没有问题的。教育当局在同一旗帜下举行了两次加冕比赛。比赛不仅有种族之分,而且在质量上也有差异,白人更受青睐。
