interests of the general use of athletics
In the public schools. The great sue
cess of the recent athletic meeting of
the Public Schools Athletic league
points the way to other cities, and a
new era has undoubtedly been ushered
in for athletics for the youth of the
nation, who are soon to learn that a
healthy body promises a sound mind
and means great aid in the battle of
life.
Thanks to the more liberal ideas of
today, the public school children of
the great city of New York will soon
have what every country child has al
ways had-the opportunity for play
and healthful exercise, which all young
people delight in.
few years ago there were few peo-
pie who realized how very important
play is to the development of the
healthy child, and they failed to see
how practically impossible Ii was for
the public school pupil of this era to
obtain the exercise that past genera
tions received before the great cities

Mr. Shepard started the action in 1887,

several correspondents, Pending trial, the
court awarded the wife 500 a month ali

ones brought, each complainant adding

With many excuses for their seeming
lack Of reverence, the brigands gently re
Heved the bishop of his purse and watch.
Then being truly pious robbers, they
asked the good priest to absolve them
from their crime, declaring that else
their consciences would forever smite
them for having preyed on man of the
church.
Naturally, the bishop did not regard as
sincere this manifestation of religious
feeling, and he hesitated to grant abb
solution, whereupon the brigands put their
pistols to the bishops head and demand
ed absolution, not only for having der
spoiled him, but for all the crimes they
had committed. The bishop shFived
them.

how my boy can have any chance to
pay his way through New York
high school by the same method.
The old methods of developing Wig
orous bodies among the young have
been taken away by the conditions of
civilization. This is true not only as
regards the ''chores" of the world. 1t
Is equally true of the worlds play
grounds. Up to the present generation
the many cities have had plenty
of space where the children could play
tag, hide and seek, black man, one old
cat and other similar games. In place
of these the modern child has the
streets, on which it is both dangerous
and illegal to play many of the old
vigorous games, and the parks, where
he may walk, but where he will be
promptly arrested If he gets on the
grass. Recently few Fairgrounds
have been furnished to meet this spe-
cific need.
This necessity for play and muscular
activity is, fortunately. altogether
stronger than our power to stop it.
For example. where we give boys no
opportunity to play legitimate manly
sports. they then inevitably form
gangs and get into mischief. If not

Opportunities must be given our

anything like an intimate view of the
home life of the apostles Of that interest
ing sect My acquaintance with these
gentlemen, with the one exception of
Brigham Young. has been limited and
formal But with Young himself was
for long time on terms of very great
intimacy, due largely to the fact that for
a period of ten years 1 was kept pretty
busy supplying birthdays for his children.
Almost every week during that period
there was a demand upon me for one OF
more of them, until finally it became a
matter Of jest between us.
I'm getting tired delivering birthdays
by the day, Brigham I observed to him
in jocose tone one morning. why don't
you lay in supply that will enable me

public schools, also the necessity for
the Athletic league as a means of OBJ
tanning those concessions and improve
ments and to organize the various
work so that physical education and
games may be carried out in a syste-
matte manner.
1t was with great confidence that
this league was started The support
already received and success already
won has been beyond any Of our ex-
pectations
The school games which are to be
held at the st. Louis exposition on the
fourth and fifth of July will be an
other great step in the advance made
in public school athletics, as at this
time national league will be formed
and undoubtedly new American public
school records will be made.
The record entry at the Madison
Square Garden games Of eleven hum
dred boys will doubtless be eclipsed and
a mark set which no organization out
side of the Public Schools Athletic
league will ever be able to reach.
This article is to be followed by a

the athletic world.
The articles on the many athletic
events which will be competed in at
ST. Louis and also those on other
games and sports are written by men
who have excelled in the particular
branch on which they write, being the
champions Of America.
