Strong Youth Of Japan

One of the first things to impress
itself upon a foreigner In Japan is the
popularity and the excellence of the
physical training given to Japanese
youth. They are race of miniature
Spartans. and they have become so
through such patient, painstaking toll
and endurance as would appall the av-
erage American youth. Injured to soft
nesses. The Japanese schools are
nearly all modelled after American in
situations. or, as the people like to be-
lieve. after a composite of all that is
best in the schools of America, Eng
land, France and Germany. The stu
dents are not, of course, trained in
modern athletics, and could hold their
own at nothing of this kind with our
magnificent college boys, but In sim

Dunn. used to bore everybody on
the train by bemoaning the vagaries
of his lawnmower. He had about ten
square feet OF lawn that he used to
shave most conscientiously every 9TH

seemed possessed Of a mischievous
demon Of some sort 1t would sulk
and refuse to go. Then. when he
started to Investigate the cause of the
stoppage, 1t would start suddenly and
cut his finger to the bone. 1t would
alternately fail to cut the grass at all
and dig great burrows In the soft
turf. He tried to sell it, but no one
would take 1t rs . gift. At last. one
morning he showed me an advertise

II Is variety OF the eucalyptus. A
small grove Of these trees was planted
on shaggy cliff back OF the expert
ment station. where 1t seemed as
though no tree could grow at all.
When this particular tree was about
year and half old 1t measured four
inches In diameter In order to get Il
safely to the fair the whole tree was
carefully packed in MOSES and soaked
cloths.
One OF the most interesting features
OF the work OF the station is importing
trees from foreign countries and try

then another is tried until congenial
one is found.
