The great growth in the love Of athletic
sports, for instance, while fraught with
danger Il Il becomes one-sded ana un-
healthy, has beyond all question had
an excellent effect in increased manll-
ness Forty or 50 years ago the writer
on American morals was sure to de-
plore the effeminacy and luxury OF
young Americans who were born OF rich
parents. The boy. who was well of
then especially in the big eastern cities,
lived too luxuriousy, took to billiards
as his chief innocent recreation, and
felt small shame In his inability to take
part IN rough pastimes and field sports.
Nowadays, whatever other faults the
son OF rich parents may tend to de-
velop, he is at least forced by the opln-
ion Of all his associates Of his own age
10 bear himself well In manly exercises
and to develop his body-and therefore,

In the Civil war the soldiers who came
from the prairie and the backwoods

shoot as soon as they could handle a
