Educating the Body.

At the recent meeting of the Public Health
Association in Chicago, Prof. f. ilfrCHCOCK
read n paper on hygiene in Amherst College
giving the results to date OF an experiment
in systematic physical education that Is
now in its eighteenth year.
IL is now little more than twenty-one
years since the late President SrEARNs
startled the Amherst trustees by avowing
his conviction that the frequent breaking
down" OF students was wholly unnecessary
because perfectly prcvcntable. His argu-
ments. reinforced by the death Of two mem
bers OF the senior class. induced the trustees
in 1859 to found q proicssorship Of physical
education and hygiene. to put up n gymna-
stun, and to make gymnastics part OF the
college curricuum-as obligatory as math-
ematics or Greek.
The duty Of the professor in charge of this
department is good deal more onerous
than that OF n simple instructor In gymnas-
ties however He Is to be n thoroughly cda-
Gated physician; to I've held responsible for
the general health OF the college; to know
the physical condition Of every member Of
every class TO give each freshmen class a
course OF lectures on the laws OF health,
with special reference 90 the conditions Of
college life; and TO follow these lectures up
with course IN anatomy ana physiology
He Is also to teach the physical principles ot
clocutlon. On four days IN each week, each
class meets nm IN the gymnasium "A com
modious, well-lightcd, well-ventllated build
ing-for hall-hOur drlll IN llght gymnas-
tics, slow, quick, ana double-quick march-
ing, &c. Every member OF the class must
he on hand, unless specially excused. For
the light gymnastics, wooden dumhbelis
Weighing less than pound apiece are used,
ana all the movements are timed to music.
The drill over, voluntary exercise is III or
der, but always under the watchtul over
sight ana direction OF the instructor. About
one in eight OF the students makes use OF
the heavy apparatus. We gather from the
Professors paper that violent gymnastics

are not advised except IN rare eases. The
dominant purpose Is to develop not muscle
but health.
Has this purpose boon accomplished The
Professor thinks 80. The general law Is
that the chances Of life decrease rapidly
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1877-11-26

by very strong reasons II he does not wish
TO be held up TO contempt by his associates
rs q political IscARror. PATTERSON, on the
other hand, might spare the breath which
he will waste in explaining. Indicted for
felony in his own state, with evidence
enough to send him to the penitcntiary for
years in the hands OF the Democratic lead
ers, his course is easy to understand. He
bctraye his party to escape a striped
suit.
Tho Republicans in the Senate, under the
lead of the rcsourccful EpMUNDs, will no
doubt make a desperate attempt to post
pone still longer the vote upon the BUTLER
case Tho Committee on Privileges and
