State Teachers in Convention.

State Teachers in Convention.
The annual convention of the State
Teachers Association convened this
week in Annapolis and ended its sessions
on Thursday night.
The daily programs were OF much
interest and highly educational.
Ga Thu!siay an able paper was read
by Pro. George \. Steele, Principal of
the Elkton Academy, and which treated
upon:
GOOD HEALTH ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS.
The speaker said in part. Success in
life depends very mueh on sound
physical condition il conjunction with
mental development. II we consider
the men OF today who are successful
professional, manufacturing, commercial,
fnancial-we find, with rare exceptions,
they have certain characteristics which
are primary conditions of strong body
and sound health. They measure large
about the chest, have depth of lung and
strength OF stomach. Their muscular
system is large aud strong, or, ii small
it is firm in fibre and yell knit together
in like proportion, too is the brain. Mr..
Webster was obliged to have his hats
made to order ON account of the siZs of
his head. Tbs matters can testify Of
cases where there is no likeness to the
great statesman. The physically weak
man may ges through life decently and
even hoGorably, bnt he seldom stands at
the head OF nythiug-loreman, superin-
tendent, president. He never climbs
never gets out of the crowd. Speaking
of athletics, no said: Athletics have
already reached a phase where the Gle
meut of sport and natural exhiliration
is taken out of it, Base ball is no longer
minister to health if a reporter sits by
and the cheers and jBeTs of stake holders
follow the player around the course.
This game that Robert Collier calls the
healthiest and haudsomest ever played
has been pushed to feverish and wild
excess by stunning competition and
the accessories of gambling. Compe tatiYe
walking aud rowing are equally object
lonablo by reason of their temptation tc
excess and through this the engendering
of disease Foot ball, with its violent
practice hours aud spasmodic exercises
falls short of the ideal training of the
| muscles in that It, too, loses its clement
! of play and assumes caunibaistic thirs
| for gore and limb from limb disjointeC
and yearns for vulgar pride of supel
iority in the light OF wager and new
| pc per report.
The election of the officers, resulted al
follows: President, 81. B. Stevens, o
Denton; First Vice President, Frank Z
Bell, AlIcgany county; second vic,
president, Jacob II. Blocker, Carroll
county; recording secretary, a. T
