Every American boy should learn to
run. In Greece, in the days when men
and women took better care of their
bodies than they ever have since, every
boy, and girl too, was taught to rum
just as the American girl is taught to
read. And as far as we can judge by
the statues they have left behind
them, there were very few hollow
chcsted, spindle-legged boys among
the Greeks. The Persian boy was
taught to speak the truth, run, ride
and shoot the bows.
The English boy is encouraged to
run. In fact, at some of the great
English public schools. boys of thir-
teen and fourteen years of age, like
Tom Brown and East at Rugby, can
cover six and eight miles cross-coun-
try in the great hare-and-hound runs.

English boys, as whole. are a
stronger set than we American boys.
Erery English school boy is to some ex-
tent an athlete. And that is what
American boys should be. Not be-
cause football, baseball and tennis are
valuable in themselves, but for the
