the Pentathlon system Of scoring, open only to
members Of the Y. NJ. C. A. Of Maryland, Della
ware, West Virginia and this District. will be
held in this city in the early spring. The event
will be great one and the winner will hold the
championship of the state he represents in the
games The events will include one hundred
yard run, one mile run, throwing twelve pound
hammer without turning, pole vault and high
jump. The system, as is well known, is a sue
cess wherever it has been adopted and been
given careful test 1t prevents, to large ex-
tent. the taking up specialties its aim is chiefly
to develop all. around athletes; it will have
tendency to encourage a man to work hard at
those things he is deficient in. In the contests
every man enters, knowing that he will be ex-
pected to take part in every event on the pro-
gram, which is generally limited to the princi-
pal events, as before named, and he is cred
tied with the score made in each event, and the
contestant receiving the highest average ascer-
tanned from his total scores win the prize.
II will bring out lots of good men and develop
ability for good all-round work and which
certainly is more beneficial than doing q special
thing only half well. or course there should
be very careful preparation for this all-round
work in field events SO that the effort to do
well in all will not prove harmful rather than
cannot imagine why it is not more generally
adopted. The Y. NJ. @. A. will present the
affirmative side in a debate with Columbian
University Law School Debating Society next
Thursday evening at 8 O'Clock. upon this sub
ject: "Resolved, That capital punishment
should be abolished" 1 bring this in here, not
that it has anything to do with athletics, but
because believe it will be good exhibition Of
rhetorical and oratorical gymnastics.

be formally presented to 1t ON the 90th instant,
and the ceremonies and festivities surrounding
it will be on grand scale. As soon as every
thing is in good working order physical exsr-
else will be taken up in the gym. and it is ex-
pected that the institute will develop some ex-

Since NJ. F. Sweeney of the Xavier A. c. of
New York broke the worlds record for the

he has been cheered to the echo every time he

Quick steps are indicative o: energy or agita-
ton.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise, curiosity,
discretion or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with preoc-
cupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as stopping,
noiseless. with short, nervous, anxious steps,
Slow steps, whether long or short, suggest q
gentle or reflective state Of mind, as the case
may be.
The proud step is slow and measured: the
toes are conspicuously turned out; the legs
Strengthened.
Where revengeful purpose be hidden under
feigned smile the step will be sinking and
noiseless.
The direction of the steps. wavering and fol-
lowing every changing impulse OF the mind, in

decision.
Obstinate people who in an argument rely
more on muscularity than on intellectual power

AProper Preparation for Medical Training.
DR.. j. S Billings in the February Forum
10 the young man about to choose q pro-
fessional career, medicine at this time offers
opportunities for the employment Of the high
est mental faculties, for the increase Of knowl-
edge, for usefulness to the world and for the
attainment Of true happiness, such as no other
profession presents.
The young man whom would advise to take
medicine az career should have had q broad
preliminary education, he should know his "hu-
manlties. and it is highly desirable that he
should have taken his B. A. degree at q large
university. not merely as q guarantee that he
has had proper training, but because Of the as
socianons which he will have formed there. the
ideas which are in the air, the intelligent SYM
pathy with literature, science and art which
VIII there be developed and which is essential to
his future usefulness and happiness He is then
to take q four years course Of instruction
IN medical school having ample facilities
IN the way OF laboratories and hospitals. Fol-
lowing this should come q service of a year and
half as resident in large hospital. By the
end OF this period and not much before the end
OF 1t he Will be qualified to form a fairly wise
Judgment as to his own capacity and tastes and
as to the particular branch or branches Of
medicine which are best suited to his wishes,
He must beware Of beginning to specialize too
soon: the foundations must be broad
My young friend will have spent five years at
good intermediate school as a preliminary
to entering the university, which he does when
he is about seventeen years old; he spends
three or four years at the university, four years
at the medical school, one and one-half years in
the hospital and two years in travel and special
studies, so that when he is ready to begin work
he will be about twenty-eight years old, and his
education, living, books, &c. will have cost
about $4,000 from the time he entered the
university. 1t Can be done for less, but this
is a fair average estimate.
