PHYSICAL EDUCATION.

The subject of physical education in
schools is receiving tardy and much-needed
attention. There is, almost everywhere. a
recognition of the necessity of sound bodies
for sound minds, but in too large degree
little or no intelligent care has been taken in
the matter of physical development, while
all the effort has been to elaborate "sys-
tenn" which will turn out the largest per
cent. of polished intellectual automatic Mr.
William Blake, who has paid much atten-
ton to the question of physical education,
has a strong article in the November Har-
per, in which he discusses the matter plainly,
and calls attention to the palpable defects in
the little physical exercise which does find
its way into the schools In emphasizing the
necessity of more attention to the bodies Of
children it is not necessary to unduly decry
the elaborateness of what may be called the
mental system in vogue in the schools. Order
must be maintained against the little in
surgents lest they inaugurate a reign of ter
ror and throw everything into chaos. But
x
sive application, and the requirements
that insist on the accomplishment of
prescribed mental tasks, and which
are increasing from year to year are in de-
gree too arduous, and unless a halt is called,
will soon work their own defeat. There is a
limit to human capacity and human endur-
ance That that limit has not already been
reached. is by no means certain. With some
it is a hobby that the pupils of each succeed
ing generation must do more than those who
went before The tasks are piled higher and
higher, the field is broadened and the sever
ity of the work steadily augmented. School
managers-not SO much the teachers-seem
to run heedlessly in one direction,
obliyious of everything but that of getting
through with a certain bulk or weight or
number of textbooks. These are multiplied
in a most confusing and discouraging man
ner, until now, could the pupil see what is
to be required of him in the aggregate, he
might with reason sit down in despair and
refuse to begin the hopeless undertaking.
While all this elaborate and ornamental
superstructure is being erected it is apparent
that We are forgetting the important necessi-
ty of laying an adequate founda-
ton for it, A head well filled, on
body we'll fortified with physical
strength to make learning available, is a
thing to be desired. But fund of knowl-
edge buried in a brain too feeble to make
Use of it is OF no value whatever. 1t is a
rule. with but few exceptions, that the sue

war or in politics, have been those possessed

YOUNG AND OLD.
now.

1t was the younger Pitt who once told
famous English statesman, with keen sar-
casm, that he had not before known that it
was crime to be young. And the notion
that young men play only the second fiddle,
to put it in homely phrase, In the orchestra
of life is fast going out This is the age of
young men, especially in our own country.
The striking telegraphers, in setting forth
their grievances, said that no old men were
to be found in their ranks. Age disabled.
Men soon wore out and their places were
filled from the ranks of the young 1t is
much the same in other things. Young men
to-day control political parties in this coun-
try. Young men are at the head of nearly
all the great newspapers. Young men press
to the front in the professions of law, medi-
cine and divinity. Young men furnish the
energy and sagacity which carries on our
vast mercantile interests. Not that older
men have no part in all these affairs, but
they play the second rather than the first
part.
And it is right that it should be so. DR..
Field some time ago reviewed the statistics
with view of ascertaining at what period of
life man does his best work. and reached
the result that men are at their best from
thirty to forty years of age, the next best
third from twenty TO thirty. 1t does not
follow from these figures that the
greatest fame comes in the first period,
because it takes time for ones work
to bear fruit Honor and wealth
may come at later period, but they come
as the result of earlier efforts. In this earlier
tain impulse of recklessness, which add
much to its effect, and which are missed in
the more cautious and conservative work OF
maturer life. The young map, thrust out
into the world to make his way, feels that he
can venture freely. He has nothing to lose,
hence there is no risk to run. If he wins, so
much the better; if he fails, he is still as rich
as he was He is not hedsed in by anxiety
to keep a record. He has no reputation to
maintain but one to make. Therefore he
can afford to be bold. In later life il is diff
ferent. The man is known. His work, good,
bad, or Indifferent, is before the world. He
has been measured and marked at a certain
value He feels that he is watched; that
what he does will be compared with what he
has done. He is anxious that the COMPARE
son be not unfavorable, and this anxiety
makes him cautious and timid. He comes
to have great respect for established rules
and usages, aTi,, is careful not to be wild or
exaggerated. So, while there is a certain
mellow fipeneSs in his work, the tang and
favor of his earlier efforts is absent,
But, though young man may do good
work, he must not be over-anxious to reap
its immediate results. Patience has always
been put down as one Of the elements of sue
cess. Learn to labor and 20 wait" is the
poets injunction. A small MUD can hardly

be patient 1t may be torpid and watch the
years flow by in idle Indifference, but that is
not patience. Patience works as we'll as
waits. Out of the odds and ends of broken
moments it makes a ladder by which to
mount Slowly the work may seem to grow,
but if it increases little by little, patience is
satisfied. 1t plants the seed and waits
through rain and sunshine for the harvest.
AS general rule that is the best success
which comes slowly. There is no hard and
durable wood which has a quick growth.
The trees that shoot up rapidly have soft
and spongy fiber. Some men rise like rockets,
but there is always the suspicion of trick in
their success, and, instinctively one waits to
hear the stick come down. Hawthorne tells
us, with one of his beautiful SMILES, that so
slowly did his fame come he felt like one
who had sat down by the waysde of life
until the bushes sprang up and grew to be
trees around him. Yet much of his best
his Hfe-at this s-ne when che world seemed
so neglectful and so chary of its praise. But
he worked on, believing that recognition
would come some time. And when it did
come it came to stay.
Perhaps, after ALL there is an inevitable
compensation in this apparent oversight by
the world of what its young men are doing.
AS man grows old, and thought forces itself
upon him that he has done his best work;
that he has reached the top of the hill and is
now going down on the other side, he is
hardly to be envied if greater ease, leisure and
happiness are woven into his life He has
indeed double right to them. First, for
what his younger vigor and ambition en-
abled him to achieve, and second because
that vigor and ambition are going from him.
1t is different with the young man. He is
full of hope and vigor. His work is Joy to
him. He may toll in obscurity for time,
but he is confident that his merit will not
always go unrewarded. He waits, and can
afford to wait, for time to reveal him. May
be it is not the worse for him that his praise
is postponed. Silence may have q better in
spiration, as the soldiers nerve relaxes when
the battle is won. Then let the young man
work and the old man enjoy; the young man
sow and the old man reap. 1t is natures
method OF equilibrium, and, like many of
her methods, it is better than it at first ap-
nearS

this lacking, the brightest intellect is Grip
Piled and handicapped The bodily strength
of school children is the index of the health
of the coming generation. If by undue
anxiety to push the youth up to literary
excellence the item of health is ignored,
and requirements are made that must nev-
itably tend to dwarf and retard the fullest
physical development, the effect is sure to be
later. 1t is already evident that some re-
form measure should be adopted. School
boards must insist on a certain amount of
intelligent attention to the physical needs of
pupils, As it is, there is frequently rule TO
that effect which is rendered nugatory by
every moment OF time being taken up in the
learning of lessons. This is mistake calling
for immediate and effectual correction. The
business of looking after the development of
muscles and of lungs, of preserving sound d.
gestion and healthful action of the heart, is
of prime Importance. With every function
we'll developed, with sturdy arms and legs,
deep lungs and a heart that sends the blood
bounding to every extremity, the boy or girl
can grapple books with vigor that will in
sure success. The mind, like the body, is
strong, and quick to recover from any bur-
den put upon it. 1t takes an impress
sion readily, and lays aside the heavy
process by which it was conveyed, A de-
blltated body, with nerves all shattered and
awry, cannot do this. The weary brain
carries the unfinished work with it. That
which arose from physical weakness reacts
on the body, which is not allowed to rest by
reason of brain that is slow to apprehend
mental machinery. The body should be
given the same degree of attention
as are the mind and morals,
The pupil should be measured
by inches as we'll as by written examina-
ton. The inches of chest measure should
be greater at the end of the school year than
at the beginning. The biceps should be
rounder and harder, and every fiber and
function of the body should be in better con-
dition in exact accordance with the increase
in years. The softness of youth should be
succeeded by the vigor and strength of adult
life. This done, and the incoming genera
ton will not only be wiser, but will
be stronger and happier than the
present. Let the prevailing neglect be per
petuated and the race will continue to de-
teriorate. The teachers and pupils of to-day
are gradually wearing out in the treadmill of
routine. We are putting top-heavy heads
on bodies that are growing punier year by
year. Many of the graduates of our schools
and colleges are physical dwarfs, to say moth
ing of the unnumbered that fall exhausted
by the wayside. We need reform and need
il now.

Supreme Court for his dream and his delu-
sion.
But the court goes further We quote
this remarkable passage:
when a man has emerged from slavery,
and by aid of beneficent legislation has
shaken oft the inseparable concomitants OF
that state, there must be some stage in the
progress of his elevation when he takes the
rank OF mere citizen and ceases to be the
special favorite of the laws and when his
rights as a citizen man are to be protected
in the ordinary modes by which other mems
rights are protected.
Why inject such an argument as this in
decision affecting the naked question of the
constitutionality of law2 If this
means anything, it means that the Supreme
Court recognizes the propriety and necessity,
at some period, of this very legislation they
overthrow, but they determine that it is now
no longer required. The negro can now
walk alone; therefore all legal and constitu-
tional supports shall be stricken down. This
is a new field for an excursus by an appellate
court. The propriety and necessity of legis-
lation has generally been left to the judg
ment and conscience of the legislative power,
while courts have been content to determine
simply whether the power used was within
the limits of the legislative grant.
But here the court assumes and
determines that, howsoever beneficent this
legislation may have been hitherto, the neces-
sity for it no longer exists, and therefore
they annul it. If this paragraph can have
any other meaning we do not know what it
can be, and its appearance in the opinion is
clear evidence that Justice Bradley felt the
necessity of some moral staging to support
his cold legal argument before the moral
sentiment of the country. The thirteenth
amendment, the fourteenth amendment and
the fifteenth amendment were all enacted for
the negro; he was 1.-The special favorite"
Of those laws, and the Supreme Court has
determined that they apply to the colored
race only, so far as they confer individual
rights When is the time to come when
these special favorites" shall take the rank
of mere citizen" and these articles of leg
White men-or "other men," as the Supreme
Court terms them-had no occasion for these
amendments; 'the constitution as it was" was
broad enough for the white race. 1t may be
that when the Supreme Court becomes Dem
ocratic-to accomplish which bill is already
in Congress-the majority may adopt the logic
of Justice Bradley. and because the rights
of the States" we're not properly observed in
their ratification, and beca use that "bene6-
cent legislation" is no longer needed for "the
special favorites," the reorganized court may
sweep the amendments out of the constitu-
tion. This is not a chimera: such scheme
has been frequently and plainly avowed by
extremists. While it would not restore hui
man slavery-because of the moral and ma
terial sentiment of the country against it
there are other consequences worth fair con-
sderation. The Supreme Court has put an
ugly clab in the hands of the revolutionists
who. in 1868, resolved that ''all the recon-
struetion legislation must be wiped out"

Col. G. A. PIERCE. In card to the Chicago
Tribune, proposes that a constitutional amend

to accomplish what the supplementary civil

Through technically it has failed. Now let

be necessary must be left to the future to deter
mine; but Colonel Pierce is eminently correct

way or another, and settled for good, before the
