PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
1t Means Keener Mentality, More
Strength and Endurance, and Is
Generally Beneficial.

Too many. alas. think OF physical
education as a one-slded edncation-all
physical-the development OF power.
FORCE skill. PHYSICAL perfection OF form
physical ability-physical endurance
They Tail 90 realize the effect that
physical training must have upon the
mental and moral forces.
A healthy body Is good thing. a
necessary thing, but a healthy mind is
also necessary. and. To- complete the
perfect human being, a healthy soul

educates the motor centers OF the
brain, but even more is accomplished.
FOR the thinking powers themselves
are improved.
The student Of physical culture soon
learns To think more rapidly. as well
as more correctly. her reaction time is
visibly Quickened and sense OF rythm
improved; perception becomes more
acute and memory stronger, observa-
ton more keen and sure: in fact. she
soon discovers that she has better con-
troll OF her mind as well as her body.
She Is truly a stronger woman in
every sense of the word. for, as brain
and body have unconsciously devel-
oped, strong feeling OF self-conh-
dence (the result OF conscious power)
has taken the place OF timidity, as
grace and ease Of movement have sup
planted awAwardness.
Daily exercise increases the powers
of resistance and the vitality OF the
tissues and organs, and not only lends
pleasure 10 the life of to-day, but
stores up strength and endurance for
the coming tomorrow.
