Physical Training of Children Necessary to
Their Mental Development
Bv WILLIAM G. WILLCOX, President of the Board of Education,
New York City
THERE can be no difference of opinion as to the importance of more
thorough and systematic physical training for our schoolboys—
training less confined to a few star athletic performers who are in
least need of it and promoting throughout the entire school system the
development of SOUND, VIGOROUS BODIES, WITHOUT WIIICH
INTELLECTUAL ATTAINMENTS ARE OF LITTLE VALUE.
Such training as is given to the boy scouts promotes not only physical
development, but mental development and character development, which
are imperatively needed not only as a preliminary preparation for mili
tary service and natural defense if occasion should arise, but also and
especially as preparation for efficient citizenship in time of peace.
EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE AND EXPERT MILITARY OPINION CLEAR
LY INDICATE THAT THE BIG PROBLEM IN PREPARATION FOR EFFEC
TIVE MILITARY SERVICE IS NOT TRAINING IN MILITARY TACTICS OR
DRILL, BUT GETTING MEN INTO FIT PHYSICAL CONDITION.
Here is a program upon which pacifist and militarist can co-operate.
t>aae la the money situation and
tb> moLey situation and the fact
that tee financial requirements for
narkeHng the crdps hjave "been com
plot-, d for the season.
STRAWS FROM THREE STATES*
Democrats hayq joined thg Pro
gressives in flocking to. the Hughes
uanner in Indiana, Ohio, and even
•u "Old Kentucky," if an exhaust
ive and undoctored straw ballot be
ing liken by .Thel Enquirer, of Cin
cinnati, can be considered as a, cri
terion. In making the; canvass,
the Enquirer publish©® thej names
of places where ballots aret cast,
^vcry effort is madg to insure fair
ness. Thus far, th^ straw ballot in
Indiana, for example, shows a vote
jf better than 3 to 2 in Hughes'
favor. Out of a total of 574 votes
-•as' at various points of thq state,
'.he returns show; that 45 Demo
rats who voted for Wilson in 1912
vill vot^ for Hughes, against 2
former Republicans who have join
d the Wilson camp. Of the Pro
gressives, who voted for Roosevelt,
i07 will vote for Hughesi against
-3 for Wilson.
In Kentucky the Democratic! de
jection to Hughes numlbers
*>6 while only 16 men who
voted Republican in 1912 are
jCw for Wilson. As in
>rher states, th$ big majority of
.'rogressivts are hack in the Re
■ ublica.j fold with 71 for Hughe^ a
igainst 31 for Wilson. Ohio re
ultj show 152 Wilson men in 1912
icw lined up, for Hughes, against
• S vo'eis now for Wilson who
vers against him in 1912. The
.Miio Progressivee vot-a is over
whelmingly Hughes with( 179 for
lim as compared to 79 for Demo
cracy's leader.
Apparently Wilson is not so popu
a? ag file local non-.puirtisan-Demo
ri'tic ores® would have us believe.
THE POWER OF SILENCE
A good deal of the power is with
ihos«* who talk least. Listen to the
•o". and flow of conversation! round
ibeut you and ask yourself what
Inference it would make if most
•f it faded away to nothing. From
-av large gathering talk rises like
mok. above a camp, and in the
iLimber thero are those who are by
uo means facile in talk, who are
.tevei thfless quick and cleare eyed
and able to perform. Tlsese who
all- fast and much, are open always
«.:> the suspicion that they- let it all
;nd then and there. Let no man
mourn if he Is denied the gift of
eH quence. His work of wisdom per
:a»»s outgoes and outdoes# the in
fluence of mere noifines®. He
•peaks from the place that be* has
.nade. His life Is behind his coun- j
-••el. His character validates and
verifies his opinions.
