Dresden taken its place in the same
rank with Berlin and Munich as one OF
the important centers of Germany. In
the year 1897 the city's large exhibit
ton palace received it's first interna-
tionaI art collection. This was followed
by the first German exhibition in 1899,
and by the second international exhI-
bition in 1901. So admirably were these
exhibitions handled that Dresden be-

Let me tell you what you should work
for and try to accomplish in the gym
nasium: First, to stand straight carry
your head and chest high; second, to de-
velop your chest and strengthen your
back; and third, to learn to handle your
body on your legs and with your arms.
Look at the men on the street the next
time you go out and see how many of
them stoop over like old men; see how
awkward they are in getting on or off
car; and if they were caught in a fire
many of them could not even hang on a
rope; and go down hand over hand, much
less climb rope or vault fence
The trouble with most of these men is
that they did not learn to do these
things while they were boys.
No boy of ten or twelve should be sat
isfied until he can stand straight all the

games.
This training Is intended to get the
athlete in the best condition possible for
the day of the contest after that he
usually becomes. lazy, eats and drinks
too much, takes no exercise and gets in
very poor condition.
The training that boy wants is sim
ply to go through some good exercise
every day, to get so that he can run,
jump, play, ball and keep his body in good
health.
Some boys who go to the gymnasium
want to spend all their time in doing
stunts or In trying to get a big
muscle. These are not the most i'm
poFtant things.

as he can step in two strides, jump as
high as the top of his pantaloons, vault
as high as his breast bone. climb a rope
three times as high as himself and leap
frog over a street hydrant
Some boys may think that it is neces-
sary to have a fine gymnasium, regular
athletic field and an instructor to learn
these things; but they are not necessary;
nearly all these things can be practiced
In the school yard, in the street, on some
vacant lot. or, better, in some regular
playground.

when he was twelve years old that he

II WAS talking with a famous athlete
a. short time ago and he told me
that he would not care to have
boy who would not be anxious to be
stronger, to run faster and to jump fur
ther than any other boy.
This man knew that it is necessary for
boy to have ambition and to try hard,
If he expects to accomplish anything.
Every boy spends the first fifteen or
twenty years of his life in preparing him
self for the rest of his life
An important part of this training Is
obtained in school; this has to do with
the mind. But that is not all; boy
must first be strong and healthy.
The training of the body is obtained
from gymnastics, athletics and play
Every boy knows that If he wishes to
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-08

raise nice plant he must have good
seed, good soil and plenty of sunshine
and water
He also knows that if he wants to raise
fine dog he must get good puppy,
feed him good food. keep him in clean
place and let him out where he can run
and play
The same is true Of the body Of every
boy; if he wants to grow big and strong.
to be able to run fast and to jump far,
he must have a lot Of good physical
training.
1t is harder for boy who lives in the
city to get all the exercise he needs than
for a boy who lives In the country. But
there are plenty of opportunities for the
city boy who is ambitious to develop
and train himself.

OF course there is also a danger Of
OVERRIDING. The boy of ten should not try
to do things that a boy of fifteen does;
he should take exercise suited to boys oE
his age, and not continue after he gets
very tired.
Exercise is not the only thing neces-
sary to develop the boy into a strong
man. Plain food, eaten slowly; very little
pie, cake and candy no tea, coffee, beer
or tobacco: plenty of sleep in well ventI-
lated rooms-all Of these are necessary to
the proper growth and development OF
every boy.
The boy who does all these things VIII
