MISS CLARA G. BAER'S REPORT.

We take pleasure ia publishing
the following report upon Physical
Education, read by Miss Clara e.
Baer before the State Temperance
Convention on April IA. As superin-
tendent of the department of Physi-

much to develop this important
branch of Woman's Christian Tenn

Dept of Physical Education.
DEAR FRIENDS:
We have arrived at another mile
post on our journey; pausing we
wonder what we have done. what left
undone. We know there is no such
thlng as standing still in either a
mental or spiritual sense. The fact
that we are again permitted to meet
together under such favorable cir
cumstances proves to us that our God
is with us and We are moving onward
and upward. In the department. of
physical education We can feel partic-
ularly encouraged.
A few years ago the subject was
scarcely given thoughtin the South.

crat declares that ''the necessity OIL

the country have set the seal of ap-

and that after careful consideration

term ''education' carries with it in
hnite possibilities for larger growth,
deeper understanding and q more ell

bends, too, the melting away of old
time prejudices in the broad light that
knowledge throws.
BY physical education, then we
mean not only systematic exercise of

is sensible, hygienic dress, the first
