American exponent in the President.
And he has expressed his opinion that
the art is worth more, in every way,
than all of our athletic sports COM
bined. He has emphasized his opinion
by securing Yamashita as instructor in
the art for the Naval Academy. After
a while, the same work is to be taught
at the Military Academy. The heads
of several municipal police depart
ments stand ready to introduce the
work among the policemen under them
The present difficulty is the scarcity
of qualified instructors in this coun-

If Americans are to reap the utmost
benefit from the introduction of jiu-
jitsu here, the start must be made in
the right way. In Japan, there are
many methods of jiu-jitsu. There is
only one, however, that is recognized
as official. That is the eclectic system
