EBERHART I ATON RouGE, - LOUISIA Physical Athletics. Whe Carried to Ex Training ces are Harmful by IARY L ALLEN, Bostoa _T HE educator whose domain is physical training recognizes that his special educational field, unlike any other, comprises two distinct factors-the resultant must be brati development and health. In no other division of education is the acquisition of health an essential feature. Indeed, no thought of health exists in connection with the ordinar phases of education. In deciding whether he will study the classics or the sciences, seldom does a student consider the question of health as influ encing his decision. For this reason the getral public looks upon physical training as chiefly the develo bent of muscle and the acquisition of health. Hence there is little clear perception of the educational side of physical training, and public interest has centered on athletics instead of on educational development. It is difficult to draw a clear line between the two, though no thoughtful educator can fail to see that the distinction is real. Exercise that develops brain centers and brain control of nerve endings must be symmetrical in design and proceed from simple to com plex. Such training is educational. Exercise that has ont its ultimate object fun, recreation, competition, the ability to beat, belongs to the play ground division of physical training. The tendency of such exercise is to induce asymmetry, one-sided development-over-development of one part and under-development of another. Could our college faculties once grasp this throughout there would be less uncertainty in handling football and other games involving com paratively few of the students, and greater justice in the treatment of gymnasium directors and an understanding of the value of this work with the many. Games conduce to an increase in muscular control, to health and to the acquisition of various good qualities, but only within certain limits. When some one was expatiating on the great value of football in devel cping self-control, etc., a friend of mine remarked that she "would like to know if the self-sontrol gained on the football field would make a man more patient with a crying baby at night." 'Tis a question whether self-control gained ,in the field of compe tition, under restricting rules, in the eye of a criticising public, is a con trol that will serve in ordinary living, where one makes his own rules or lives without them. Athletics, within healthful limits, are most highly to be prized, but they should be entirely separated from exercise in its educational field. Games of all kinds would be included in educational progressive training, but they would take a subordinate part and would be used only until the special development they are capable of giving is achieved. The playground idea must be pushed if health and physical efficiency are to be incorporated in our children's lives, but what is done in the playground would certainly constitute very desultory education. Everybody who thinks realizes that the play element should be fostered-not only in children, but in grown ups-from the kindergarten games, tops and marbles, .*( hop-Scotch and tag to tennis, baseball, cricket, etc., for children of older growth. They are all in the same category-the recreational list--and are valu able, as they meet the individual need for recreation and fun. -I can tell many girls 'why they have missed their chance of marrying. While M any they may be good looking and may dress well, if they have that awful habit of gum G irls Have chewing there is not one gentleman out of five hundred who will take one of them for Chew ing a wife unless he is a habitual gum chewe; himself. G um Habit Why is it that women persist in gum chewing in public when it is, as we all By s.ANCHE BRUC$E know, a vulgar habit? If one must chew ..wsuls.U . Te.. gum for indigestion one should do so in the privacy of one's room at home. I have talked to dozens of men, both in business and in professional life, and they tell me that the gum chewing habit is so repulsive that it makes them often lose a valuable acquaintance or a business deal. A woman, no matter how smartly gowned, has no attraction for them when once they see "her jaws working like a steam engine." A prominent physician told me that his wife had to stand all the way home in the car from the city, a distance of eight miles, because other wise she would have been compelled to seat herself beside a woman or a girl who was chewing gum, which was so sickening that she could not endure it. I have a young man cousin at Yale university, and he will not make the acquaintance of a young woman who chews gum. He and his companions .formed a club, and there are now 150 in this club of young millionaires and lawyers and doctors, who have sasMgd pledges never to marry a young woman, no matter how aetraetive she is, who chews gam in public. They are sincere, as he told me that one cannot go in the best society if one's rife embarrasses one by chewing gum. In the near future everything will be done to benefit the greater part of the chil Lessen dren attending our public schools, but Trials of what bas been done to improve the presmat system for the benefit of the weak and eeu. N ervous vous children that attend them ?

FRANCESL U la many cases the child is a .physiel _ __ - wreck or a complete ruin, in a few years ready for the asylum or even the cemetery. What is to be done? To do justiee to such children is to have one room o each public school art aside, with a special teacher who hb a perfelet understanemg of these poor children and can give them the proper atten tion, for they need a diferent traimg from that reqired by wda belsithy children.
