Great Care Should Be Taken 1has Injury
Does Net Result from It.
DR.. Z. B. Turner, IN considering the
question whether yocng children be-
tween the ages. say. Of SIX and twelve,
should BE allowed 10 cycle. snd If al
lowed how much they may indulge IN
the pastime without incurTing the risk
Of injury, maintains that the subject Is
one on which no man can pronounce
dogmafically or lay down strict and IN
variable rules concerning What for
one small boy or girl might he merely
healthy and beneficial exercise. for an
other might mean physical ruin But
while each case must be judged on its
merits, one fundamental principle must
be clearly enunciated-namely. that no
young child with any organic weakness.
whether OF heart, lungs, joints or nerv-
ous system, should be allowed to mount
a machine under any circumstances
whatever.
Setting aside such natural disqualifi-
cations, the exercise Of cycling, properly
regulated and adjusted 20 the capabilities
of the individual, is unquestionably one
of the best forms Of recreation that can
be partaken Of by children Of both sexes
at an early age 1t develops the body,
and the self reliance and resource en-
tailed by the management Of a machine
tend to strengthen and enlarge the men
tai and intellectual faculties A few
simple precautions, however, may insure
good and avert evil results. As to the
age that a child should begin, for most
children six is quite early, and even for
some six is too early. Great care should
be taken in choosing and fitting a ma
chine to a young rider. An old. Ill fitting
crock may produce defOrmity or disease.
Two things that must be insisted on in
buying either bicycle OF tricycle. for
a Young rider are that the peak Of the
saddle should be two inches behind the
crank axle. and that the handles should
be so brought around and back that the
child can SIT perfectly upright on the
machine As to the distance the child
may ride no absolute rule can be laid
down. Overexertion must be carefully
guarded against, and sleepless night
and q distaste for food is one OF the indl-
cations that the system IS poisoned by
the products of its own waste. 1t must
be remembered that excessive speed Is
more injurious than excessive distance,
and excessive hill climbing than either.
The conclusion arrived ut by DR.. Tur-
ner is that sound child, six years old,
properly fitted with machine. and nd
ing in proper form and position, may
cycle within the limits of moderation
and derive benefit and suffer no harm
from the exercise.-St. Louis Globe
