Fol.LIes IN MEMS DRESS.
Male Attire Fails in Even Distribution
of Protective Warmth.

III PROTECTIVE w aFmtbs
That dress reform for men from
practica, aid hygienic point of view is
badly needed there is no doubt. What
can be more ridiculous than cutting
the front of the vest and coat away
and thus expose chest, lungs, throat,
etc, to the inclemency of the weather,
giving rise tc serious illness? What
Sc Sc is there in constructing the back
Of a vest with mere, thin lining? Do
tailors imagine that the spine requires
less protection than any other part OF
the body. What practical use Is there
in wearing collars high enough to out
shade the old-fashioned "father-mu
ders." collars that prevent the free
movement of head and neck. and tight
enough to seriously interfere with the
proper function of several organs?
1t is ignorance, pure and simple. and
1t is one of the physicians duties to
enlighten the public on the necessity Of
considering their health before fash
ion. Ignorance, and folly. Wherein the
male attire fails is the even dlstribu-
LlOil Oh pFOletuNe warmth. Oue part
of The body should be as warm as the
other. But not enough that the pres
ent style of dress makes this an i'm
possibility, to fiatter mans vanity pre-
sumabIyl. tailors have acquired a hab-
1t of padding the coats ito improve the
figu~c. and thereby introduce another
element of unequal distribution of pro-
lection.
As a lroof of how little men care
about this Improvement" it may
safely be stated that nine men out Of
ten do not know where their coats are
padded, or hat they are padded at all.
and then they wonder why in biting
wind they should feel cold in one
shoulder and not in the other. If ply

Those who know anything of the

UNREGULATED ATHLETIC
SPORT A GRAVE DANGER.
From the New York World.

"Unregulated athletic sports In our
colleges and universities do more harm
than good was the emphatic state
ment of DR.. George L. Meylan. pro-
lessor or physical training at Column
bia University, the day after the OPEN
ing Of the Physical Training School
Here is a precise parallel. You
may open great library, stocked with
the wisdom of the world and saw to
the uneducated masses, Now, go in
and educate yourselves How many of
them would achieve an education if
simply turned loose in a library? Here
and there some man would, but he
would be a rare exception AS IL IS
with mental, so it is with physical
training. The gymnasium Is to the
body what the library is to the mind
You may open the finest gymnasium
in the world and tell the people to go
in and develop their muscles and their
strength, and it will do no good Here
ana there one may, unaided, become a
splendid athlete, as men have done
in the past without the use of gym
nasia; but the masses of the people
are more likely to injure themselves
than to derive benefit from the work. ="
What do you think of games, such
as football, for instance, as played
by college boys to-day" asked the rep
resentdtiVe of the World.
There are good and bad. good or
bad according to circumstances. If
the coach be a man of Judgment and
a gentleman the result win be benefi-
cial, but too often in our colleges and
universities he Is a man selected and
paid by the students themselves, whose
one object is to perfect them in the
fine points of the game; the time for
practice is short, and he tries to make
the most of it; consequently he over
does the work. overtaxes the boys
strength, and does them much harm.
II he Is a gentleman he instills into
the lads the chivalrous spirit and
teaches them to play like gentlemen
and not like brutes. in which case the
result is good: but. unfortunately, not
all the coaches are gentlemen.
There is in many large colleges q
constant warfare between the director
OF physical training and the coach, the
one striving to regulate the students
exercise for their permanent physical
benefit, the other doing his best to get
out of them all he can i'm the short
est space of time. This does harm to
the youths, who do not realize the linn
itations of their strength and, spurred
by blind esprit de corps, care only for
winning matches"
And what. in your opinion, is the
remedy?"
1T is difficult to generalize, for the
conditions vary in the different col
leges. Regulation of athletics and
sports by the faculty has been tried
and has in every instance proved a
failure. The rules of the game cam
not be altered intelligently by men
who do not play it; they must be made
by the actual players. If the profess
sor or director of physical training be
vested with sufficient authority over
all sports. and If he himself has had
the requisite training for the place.
the problem seems to be solved. And
IL is to train teachers of athletics that
this new department of Columbia Uni
versity is primarily designed"
