meet the demands of their life work. AL
though physical training is still much
neglected in some quarters it is gaining
ground rapidly as dignified and neces-
sary part of any serious scheme of edA-
cation. Professor James, OF Harvards
says:
Physical training is the general basis
which underlies every trait of character
and the great harmoniZer and equalizer
and brfnger up of the Individual to the
normal mixture of facilities which he is
expected to possess. AS a student of
psychology / feel the greatest interest in
the physical culture of all students. I
know We shall thereby get sounder views,
we shall get truer interests, we shall get
less eccentric influences of philosophy
upon life. Unwholesome broodings over
mysteries, pessimistic tendencies which
are supposed to be the fruits of a spirit
ual life too ardently cultivated, would
often disappear If the bodily equilibrium
were made right"
The philosophy of the physical training
department at Smith college Is embodied
in the above quotation. 1t aims to be an
aid to the academic department. 1t does
net aim to make athletes or physical spe-
cialists; it does not encourage athletics
Or gymnastics for their own sakes, but
1t deVotes all its energies to increasing
the general health of the average stu
dent, developing nationally strong and
harmonously developed bodies and
making the body as perfect a basis as
possible for the intellectual activities
Four half hour periods of gymnastic
work are required of the first and second
year students from Nov 1 until the Eas-
ter recess. Elective courses In gymnastics
and also in fencing are offered to the
juniors and seniors. About seven hundred
students take regular gymnastics. The
work in the gymnasium is carefully grad
ed from simple exercises for all parts of
the body largely emphasizing the correc-
tive side, to more and more difficult work
emphasizing the development of strength
and endurance No exercise Is given
which has not definite result in view.
When the secondary schools shall have
realized the great Importance Of correc-
tive physical training 1t will not be the
duty Of the college to lay stress on that
side of the work. However, since city
life gives so little opportunity for natural
exercise. since so many hours are spent
daily in bad postures at the school desk
since the civilized mode of dress is still
so unhygienic, and since the secondary
schools are so negligent of corrective
gymnastics, the corrective side of physi-
cal training is much emphasized at Smith
MEDICAL GYMNASTICS.
A feature that was introduced three
years ago and is proving very successful
is that Of medical gymnastics. Students
who are below the average health, who
have anaenia, delicate heart or lungs;
those who have slight curvature OF the
spine or any other asymmetrical develop
ment. take up the work specially adapted
to their needs.
A careful physical examination is re-
quired of each entering student, both by
the director of the gymnasium and the
college physician. 1t can be said with
truth that-excepting students who are
weakened by illness, every one gains by

that she IS so much the more to be pItied.
Women, as a class, from lack of proper
training, are not businesslike. The house
wife retains the responsibility OF all the
detail work rather than give it over to
her servant; hence the lack of interest
and responsibility on the part Of the ay-
erage maid. If the housewife would but
allow her servant to become responsible
for the great bulk OF the detail work
much confusion would be avoided. Per-
sons become responsible only by having
responsibility placed upon them, and
servants. as a rule, feel the Importance
of their work according to the trust
which is reposed in them and the respon-
sibility which is placed on them"

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The situation at Pekin has changed
decidedly for the worse, The State de.
partment in Washington made public
last night a csblegrsm from Minister
Conger, showing the present situation

August 7. Tsi.Nsn is a city about
eighty miles southeast Of PekiD, and il
ia believed that the dispatch was put
on the wires there after being sent by
runners from the capital.
Mr.. Conger says the ministers are
still besieged and that there is daily
rife firing upon the legations by Col
nese imperial troops. The foreigners
have little ammunition or food. Tht
Chinese government insists upon the
ministers leaving Pekin, which, in Mr.
Conger's opinion, would mean certain
death.
The Japanese consul at Shanghai has
received message stating that the for
eign ministers at Pekin were safe Au
gust l, but then expected a renewal o.
the attack at any moment. Only
twenty-five cartridges each and six
days' provisions were left. The Japs.
nese secretary of legation at PekiD
Ishii Kikoujiro, died OF wounds.
Lii Hung Chang, In message to Will
liam Pritchard Morgan, member o.
the British Parliament, says the Cal.
uese must fight if the allied troops con
tinue to advance. "The suggestion
that the allies should be allowed to en-.
ter Pekin Ia order to escort the minis.
tiers to Tientsin," he declares, sis alb
solutely impossible"
The belief prevails that the Chinese
will RESORT to any extremity, diplomat
ic or otherwise, to proven. the capture
of Pekin by the allies. Such capture
would mean the downfall of the sacred
city and of the Manchu dynasty.
The British government has informed
the Chinese government that members
of the latter will be held personally res
poneible for injuries to British subjects
