Professor Francis FAIRIES is director
Of physical education in the University
Of Pennsylvania He contributes 10 Out
ing various suggestions to those who en-
ter on training for athletic contests Of
any sort The preliminary condition for
all is the same. Each must ascertain
before beginning the training whether
be has a good constitution. whether he
is free from any organic trouble or dis
ease, such as weakness or ailment Of
the lungs. heart or kidneys. or whether
he suffers from nervous debility. Sound
nerves are as essential as sound lungs
and heart
The candidate must further decide on
the kind of contest for which he is to
train and find out whether nature has
adapted him TO it. There is one other
and vitality important requisite to sue
cessful competitive training. The can
didate must ask himself in all sincerity
this: do possess the will power to
train faithfully2' The necessity Of be-
ing able to answer the last question
affirmatively may be understood when
It is remembered that the athlete in
training must diet rigidly. must abstain
from all dissipation and must take reg
ular rest and plenty OF it. Let me
warn the athlete who trains and dissi-
pates at the same time not to do so, be-
cause he will inevitably break down
and be overtaken sooner or later by dis
ease. Fl"
Twelve weeks is the right time TO DO
given to training for a contest when
one enters the lists for the first time.
Long distance running, from three to
five miles, Professor FAIRIES considers
the best all round exercise TO give wind
and endurance, no matter for what kind
| Of athletic contest a candidate is train
| ing. He should also be careful to train
the body all over tremendously, legs,
arms, trunk aud chest, every part. The
man with one part of his body alb
normally developed. like the acrobat in
a circus who uses mainly his arms and
shoulders, is sure to break down before
his time. The man who can lift a small
OK and yet cannot walk ten miles with
out fatigue cannot be called an athlete
The director lays great stress on keep
ing a level head and determined will
of the "do or die" kind. He recon
mends never to give up a contest til
the end, no matter if you finish as tn
last man. Do not let-two or three o
half a dozen defeats discourage you
Light all round physical training
good for everybody, no matter how del
icate, but no one under ls should tax
severe training.

TIE LATE ?. H.woOLFoLK,
An EulOgy on His Life,

by his friend, o. NJ. STEWARD
'Twere not in eloquence sublime,
Nor oratorial power,
Nor yet in facinating rhyme,
To employ the flseting hour,
To weigh the distant worlds and tell,
What courses thy pnrsus,
What kind OF b Jugs on them dwell,
What kind of work they do.
He did not go TO distant lands,
The heasnen TO reclaim,
TO free their souls and T. ain their hands
In works which bring no shame;
Though he'd nave gone at Gods eom-
mand.
Had that command BEEN given,
And tot ed thr ugh s-as Of burning
sand,
To bring lost souls to heaven.
He never claimed a leaders place,
Was never first in strife,
Trough his good Judgment well might
grace,
The highest walks in life.
But unobstruslvr. seeking good,
Not TO himself, but Others.
For truest manhood ever stood,
Ant claimed all men a. brothers.
'rwere llLtle deeds" he 81, ried in,
Little deeds of kind ess"
Enlghted misery's blindness
Twas the cup of colo water he
Delighted most TO give,
To aid in set'ing captives free,
For this he seemed To live,
Intrinsic gems of gold unmined,
Are often trOd up N,
BY those who never were destined
Their brilliant rays to con-
So, with this man. this Prince of men
Whose deeds shall never dim;
" hen Christ makes up His jewels. then
He'll surely honor him,
For, head and shoulders, Saul-like he
Above HIS fellows stood,
With willing heart and spirit free,
His fort " as doing good
No mighty shafts his grave spot mark
No scrolls emblazon forth,
How he i'm battle did embark,
Nor how he kept his oath:
But many hearts will testify
That he did the IN rccls; 81.
That he would live or do or die,
For Right. in Jesus namel

once more as she did in 1922.
