NJ. c. A. has had G viae experience in training men. having been in gymnastic and athletic wcrk tor fifteen years and is grad xate Sk the Y. N. c. A. Training School for secretaries and physical directors at Springfield. Mass. At the recent Y M. 0. A. Conference at Douglas, MT. Pollard presented a paper on physical training with reference to the needs of men in business and professional life ia the cities, of which the follow ing is an extract:
 With the growth of manufactures, the yoeIng men left the farms and crowded into the cities and began to learn trades. When machinery was first invented 1t was crude and much had fo be done by hand. The young man learned a trade and in doing so usually got aii round physical develop nent but with the Increase of labor saving devices the young man was more and more robbed of the heavy Huscular work. He was confined more or less to one job and today the young man becomes an expert at a trade bat at one particular part of the process. He may work eight or ten hours without getting up from his chair or bench and using only the small group of muscles such as the hand or the eyes. He Is a specialists and we are becoming a nation of spe- ciaiists. This change from the heavy physical work of the farm to the ex- erclse of the small groups of muscles has led us to become in intensely ner- vous people, and we are call by Euro peans a nation os Neurestheics. This condition. together with unhealthy sanitary conditions of city life has led statisticians who have looked Into the matter to state that unless city fam ilg receives an infusion of country blood 1t will die out in three genera tiops. Recently a census of the busi- ness and professional men of the city was taken and 1t was found that over ninety per cent were born in and had spent their boyhood days in the coun- try. These statistics will be found true in nearly every large city. II only the man who was born in the country has a show of reaching the top because of the awful drain upon his vitality what is to become Of the iu- ture city man.
 While the sanitary conditions Of our Western towns and cities are not as bad as those of the East, the pace is equally as fast. This climate is one thai drives men, and often beyond their strength before they realize it. The country is new, there is so much to be done, the opportunities for prog ress so great, that men are working days and nights and also Sundays with no thought of their physical strength
 Most of the weight of the body out side of the bones is taken up with the muscles We are Q muscular machine If we allow a machine to remain idle 1t will rust and it Is just as true of the human body. In order to retain good digestion. 8 clear brain. man must exercise his muscles. The fall ure to do this and the constant demand upon the neural has led our business and professional men to the use of drugs. The city man looks upon these as short cuts. Drugs and stimulants appeal to him. StimuIants keep him going and then when sleep has fled, put hi mto sleep. There is always a harmful secondary effect from the use of either stimulants or drugs. A stim- uiant is whip for the over-tired nerves and while it does increase a mans energies, spending power it does not create energy and unless absolute krest follows this stimulation break 4ioun will surely occur. The secondary Effect of drugs in nearly every case "A constipation and a reduction of the led corpuscles bringing on an anemic andition of body and mind.
