ATHLETIC GAMES IN SYRIA.

Customs of the Orienta1s Undergoing
Gradual Transformation.
Oriental peoples are very averse to
physical exercise Of any kind, says the
World To-Day. Their idea of enjoy
ment is to sit under an awning and
play backgammon. That a man should
go out and run around a track in
shameless nakedness and this with a
hope of gain, only confirms them in the
belief that all Americans are mad. But
they are initiative people, and years
ago the influence and example Of the
younger teachers got few of the pre-
paratory boys out for footraces. That
day, for Beirut at least, the death blow
was struck to the picturesque dress of
the Orient. You can't run a 1OO-yard
dash with long, baggy drawers and a
silk gumbez that flops around your
ankles. Even If you "gird up the
loins," by tuclling your skirts into the
sash, the effect is more startling than
speedy. So, one by one, the students

At first they were poorly cut and
viewed with suspicion; but to-day
there are not three men in the col
legiate department who wear the old
costume, and many of the students
dress with taste and an elegance that
their professors cannot afford to emu
late.
Tennis and basketball soon won their
place in the students favor; and now
we have gymnastic apparatus and a
regular graduated athletic director,
who has learned physical culture and
boy nature through long experience
in the gymnasiums of America. But
it was football that did the most to-
