ism. The child is not psychiolo.
gist. lie does not scruitinize his
mental states and phylosophize
about the nature OF consciousness,
and in this way learn the charac-
teristics of volition. He is too
much absorbed in external things
to do this. But at an early age he
learns that his limbs may be made
to administer to his desires. He,
by degrees, acquires the skill to
move them in one direction and
another, and thus is able to eX-
plore his environment. The &C.
Quirement OF the power to walk Is
one Of the greatest achievements
In the early education OF the child.
Previous to this he has no doubt
been able to learn much about the
world in which he finds himself,
but his observations have neces-
sarily been limited by his inabil-
ity to move from one place to an
other. But now this limitation is
removed. Henceforth he is free
to follow the dictates OF his bud
ding genius, and to explore and in
vestigate Nature to his hearts con-
tent.
While this new requirement OF
the child increases MANIFOLD his
for intellectual i'm
provement it Is still much more
important factor in the develop
ment of his will. 1t has aroused
in him a consciousness of his abil-
ity to overcome the difficulties OF
his environment. He still, no
doubt, finds obstacles in the way
of his Investigations, bit one who
has tasted the pleasures OF con-
quest can not remain contented
within any circumscribed sphere OF
action. His curiosity leads him to
make more and more venturesome
exploits. In proportion as these
are successful does his confidence
in his ability to accomplish his de-
sires become stronger. This is the
secret of will.power on the part Of
the child.
What is true of the development
OF the will in the earliest years of
childhood is also true OF its later
stages. Take, for example, a boy
during the years of school life.
If by good fortune he has INFESTED
a strong constitution and has had
abundant opportunities for phys
ical exercise, he will become pro-
ticient in the games and sports
which his companions engage.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-11-29

He will naturally be q leader OF
his associates, for power to do what
another can not, will always be
respected. He is not afraid to act,
for he is conscious OF his own
abilities and that his efforts will
be approved by his fellows. He
loves to originate plans for their
mutual amusement. For such
boy the battle Of life is already
half won. There Is a great truth
in the saying that "Nothing sue.
ceeds like success" The youth
who starts out in life confident
from past experience of his ability
to cope with the difficulties that
may confront him, and who has
learned to trust to himself for the
accomplishment Of his plans, can
scarcely fail to succeed. There are
no doubt dangers to which he Is
exposed as we'll as others, but hav-
ing learned the lessons of self
reliance and self-confidence, we
need not fear for his future.
On the other hand observe how
different is the condition of the
child OF feeble constitution. He
cannot engage in the sports of
childhood on an equal footing with
his stronger playmates. He Is re-
garded as a weakling who can not
accomplish much, and he has not
that respect paid him which is be-
slowed upon those OF stronger con-
stitution. This attitude of his
plsymates must inevitably react
upon the boy himself. He will
naturally become timid and mis-
trustfui and Inclined to shun the
society of other boys. He will not
have the courage to attempt diff.
cult tasks, for he is to conscious of
past failures. This habit of sue.
cumbi1g to difficulties and Of fail
ing to put forth his best efforts
will be very likely to grow upon
him aud to stamp his latter years
with marks of indecision and lack
OF energy.
We must then admit that what
ever develops the strength of the
child is an important factor In the
developement OF the will power,
and therefore Of educational value.
This strength at the present time,
under the conditions Of
city life, can be secured only by a
systematic course of physical train
ing. Otherwise the opportunities
for physical Developments are to
few. Besides a matter OF so great
Importance as this, should not be
eft to chance nor TO caprice OF the |

child who Is not able to estimate
his value any more than that OF
his intellectual training.
II then, we have any regard for
the welfare of the youth OF our
country, we should do all In our
power to promote their physical
education. Let us be willing to
curtail If necessary, the hours OF
study, in order that the needs OF
the physical organism may De sup
piled. In the end we shall lind
that the intellectual advancement
has been all the more rapid on &C
count Of the improved condition OF
the BODY. This is borne out by
the fact that many eminent men
have not been distinguished as
pupils In their early years. They
were not adopts at book learning,
but they secured that better edu-
cation which comes from contact
with things and the exercise OF
activities. They succeeded in after
years, not because they were not
educated, but because they were
better educated than their fellows.
What has been said of physical
education applies of course equally
well to girls as to boys. In this
day when the co-education OF the
sexes Is becoming 30 popular in
our higher institutions OF learning
1t should not be lost Of that both
sexes need not only the same OPP
portunities for mental improve
ment, but also the same chances
for physical culture. II women
physically be "the weaker ves-
sep then 1t is surely all
the more important that her
physical training should be care
fully attended to. AS we have
thrown open to woman the doors
of our colleges and universities, so
let US throw open to them the
doors -four gymnssiums and halls
OF physical culture, and 1t VIII
soon be apparent that the "co'eds"
will appreciate the latter as well
as the former, and derive an ines
Unable advantage FROM them.

Special Correspondence.
City of Mexico, Nov. 18.-There
are in this city many who sympa-
thise with Cuba and do so in an
earnest and practical way, many
probably remembering their own
struggles with Spain in their at
tempts to gain independence.
There is naturally a Cuban club
here, "Mexico y Cuba" and paper
here of the same name. The men,
bers include some of the best citi-
zens and have made liberal dona-
tions of arms and money to the
insurgents. The ladies took up the
cause and gave q kirmess in the
beautiful gardens of Domingues
Corron at Tlaxpana, a suburb of
this city. was honored with an
invitation, and so in company with
q charming Cuban senorita-Ade-
lIne-attended the fete. There
was no charge for admission,
which was by invitation, but 1t
cost something to get out. When
we arrived the first thing we knew
was that we were smothered with
confetti. These are thin round
pieces of paper of all colors, about
the size of the end Of an ordinary
leadpencil, and they generally
stick like bur, and they get down
the back and in the underclothes.
They are particularly attachable TO
hair and / had considerable trouble
getting them out Of my hair and
whiskers. 1 pittied my companion
for like most of the senoritas she
wore her long glossy hair hanging
oose down her back and it took
hours to dislodge the confetti
with which it was we'll covered.
All the ladies were served the
same way. 1t is troublesome but
not so bad as ticks at a Texas pic
mic and they like it. Then serpen-
tina was thrown at US, binding us
together. These are long rolls OF
ribbon like vary-colored paper that
the girls use with as much skill as
a cowboy does a larlent and cause
much fun. Then we were taken
prisoners and marched to the
guard house and had to pay rau-
som to get out. This being done
you were given a portrait Of Maceo
that you had to wear on the lapel
OF the coat as q protection from
further arrest. There was all
kinds of fun and devices to raise
money. While it was not exacted,
as a rule it cost a dollar for Ice
cream, beer, liquor, cigars and
cigarettes. Some paid IS and an
American prid 500 for q drink OF
whisky. No one seemed to mind
prices for they were given to Cuba.
There were many gifts. These we're
sold at auction at high prices or
ratified off in a most remunerative
way. The parties managing the
iete included the best of ladies and
the most charming senoritas.
When the average man got into
their clutches he did not merely
hold up his hands, but he held up
his pocketbook. Among these
were the daughters OF Benito
Juarez, Mexico's ex-president.
These, probably imbued with their
fathers spirit, were there to aid
Cuba in her struggle for liberty
The ladies worked well and hard
and on the next day sent l,50O in
gold to the Junta, in New York,
and they will soon make further
remittance. It is estimated that
about $4,000 were realized. III

The bicycle races, under the aus
spices OF the Cyclists Union club,
were excellent. Harry w. Hale
and W. H. Smith, late Of San An
tonic, won the two mile tandem
race, but were disqualified on the
ground Of alleged fouling. This
decision is disputed. Harry Hale
showed great grit. In previous
race he collided with Trigueros
and had a fall that FRUSTRATED him
for some time, but he mounted the
tandem with Smith and passed
the tape ahead. On the alleged
foul the race was ri en- to Bauer
and Acosta, who were second.
John Coryell, of San Antonio, rode
in the races, but was not placed.
Mr.. Gus. A. Moog, of this city,
will be shaking hands with his
German friends in San Antonio
next week, and the Photographic
artist, u. L. Kline, expects 10 re-

there's no place like old San An

ton, he gave up Immediately. Consump-
ton was considered a necessarily fatal dis
ease. 1t was considered incurable. As soon
as it developed enough so that physician
could decide that it was really consumption,
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years ago, Dr. Pierce found out that con-
sumption was not incurable, that it was not
necessarily fatal. He not only found this
out but he found out a way to cure con-
sumption. He introduced his Golden
Medical Discovery" The Discovery"
will cure % per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption if it is taken according to direc-
tons. Consumption Is a disease of the
blood. 1t is caused by impoverishment of
the blood, and by the existence of disease
germs in the system. If the body is per.
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown off.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That's the
way consumption begins.
The Golden Medical Discovery I"
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
other kindred diseases of the throat, bron-
CHA and lungs. No doubt about it, no ques-
ton about it. 1t has done it in hundreds
and thousands of cases. The Discovery"
is sold at drug stores.

There seems to be in all proba-

of this congress, that is the forma-
tion of a society for the eXplora-
ton, study and preservation of
Mexican antiquities. The Two Re-

it finds general favor. 1t could
not have come from a better
source, for its managing editor, w.
w. Blake, M. A., is not only an
enthusiastic student in such mat
tiers but recognized expert. There
are in all parts, especially around
the city, pre-. historic treasures that
only need money and experience
to lay them before the world. This
exploration would be of general in
terest and would throw consider
able light on what we may call the
prehistoric history of Mexico,
aud, as 1 think, make many won
derful revelations.
