By ELLERY H. CLARK.
Former Champion All-Around Amateur Athlete.

In this country the strenuous life has found expression among a larger
number of the people and in a more intense degree than at any other
period of our growth. This is notably true of the extent to which it has
affected our sports and athletic exercises.
There has been a pronounced and very wholesome development of in
terest in physical pastimes and recreations within q comparatively short
time. The interest in athletics, indeed, is shared by about every class of
the American people.
1t is natural that the ambitious spirit of youthful America should
have been aroused by the promise of physical prowess which athletic exer-
else holds out, and it was inevitable that the sense of competition should
have been excited to the point Of contest for physical superiority.
Undoubtedly this competition has aided greatly in the development of
general interest and participation in athletics, but it has frequently reached
a stage where the doctrine of the strenuous life has been overworked and
a too strenuous life has been followed.
The too strenuous, in athletics IT in anything else, is, of course, in
temperance, and intemperanceis followed inevitably by degeneration.
There re two excessive phases of the strenuous life which may be
mentioned. One is the disposition to specialize in athletics, to develop GER
tain muscles or powers enormously, at the expense of other muscles or pow
ers. Another is the disposition to carry the spirit of contest in sport too
far, to make every Competitive exhibition a fight attended by the expression
on the part of the specatorsof the btterest parisanshp.
Great sums are swageFedn On contests, and strong temptation is thus
presented to the contestants OWN at any cost. This may lead to trckery
end to meanness and it eegtapy is not calculated to promote the most inn
portant of principles, nnhnely sthat of "fair play"
We need the Strenuous spirit which expresses itself in the purpose to
do things and to- doktheHt as, well as We can, but this laudabe prac-
tce must be limited by sense of honorable obligation to follow the
rules of the game 6ufakei no mean advantage and to refrain from
contest or exhibition &fpr mere vainglory, which too often exdtes
only humanity sconceit or chagrin and :.

ye'd tell me naow, fore it's too

"Yes!" / exclaimed, stepping sud
denly before them, land l wish you'd
tell me, too, Mrs. Bruce"
They sprang back in a~mazement,
and for an instant l thought that
jerks was going to strike at me, but
| continued earnestly:

wrong on your part, Mrs. Bruce, al
though l must admit that I did think
so at one time, and want to say now
that ! am sincerely sorry for the man
ner in which DR.. MacArdel and
treated you both last summer"
They said nothing, and after paus
ing for a moment, l continued:
"As l say, l come here as a friend

What are you doing here, Mrs.
Bruce?" l asked. Il had no idea Of
meeting you In this way"
why you know, sir, | was a nurse
In the old country, sir" she returned,
In the same sweetly modulated voice
that I had noticed before, land when
the young lady took so bad, sir, they
sen for me to take care OF her until
the 'ospital nurses came from town."
"Who sent for your" I continued
curiously, again impeding her prog
ross up the stairs.

Joined. "She asked the rector and he
recommended me most ighly, sir. You

ical cases ~'ereabouts, when ! can find
the time for 1t, sir"
She caught her breath at this last
clause, as II she would have wished It
unsaid. and blushed violently as I re-
marked: you are very busy most OF
the time, l presume?
Eyes sir, / am. SIR she retorted.
defiant,y, land my business is my
own, sir, and it i'll becomes outsiders
to NEEDLE with it,"
With these remarkable words she
swept past me and proceeded to Miss
Weston's room with all the impor-
lance of an idealized Sairy Camp from
whom the Objectionable qualities had
been eliminated.
AS | watched her ascend the stairs
with a little ~self-reliant poise to her
head and a manner of absolute non.
c%halance, l came to the sudden and
positive conclusion that the woman
had not a bad trait in her makeup
and that the only way to deal with
her was to approach her frankly and
in all honesty Of purpose. l was con
vinced, too, that Miss Weston had
played no small part in persuadins
Miss Carney to send for her as 9

nurse, and I wondered how and
through what sort of argument she
had been induced to admit to her
house a woman whom she had avery
reason to suspect of bearing her no
great amount of good will.
From the housekeeper, who chanc-
ed to pass through the hall, l learned
that the nurses from town ex-
pected on the evening train, and that
Mrs. Bruce would go home as soon
as they arrived, and I determined to
see her and talk with her that very
night at her cottage.
Shortly after dinner. which, like all
the other meals Of the day, had been
conspicuous by Miss Carney's abb
sence. I again started out In the d.
rection of the widows house, and ar
rived just in time to find her and
jerks in heated arguments at the
gate.
l slackened my pace as I saw them
standing In the light of the doorway

warranted me in playing the part of

"Pn tell you when the time comes
SAM" she said; soothingly, and then
she added something in q tone sc
low that l could not hear.

jerks earnestly and in evident re

and for all, or at least go away and

"Oh, / can't go away, sir!" ex-
claimed Mrs. Bruce. II can't do that,

NO." she returned, weeping silent

although l say 1t with no disrespect.
AS you are a friend of Miss Carney

"The other lady?" l exclaimed in
amazement, and with some sudden
suspicion in my tone. do you mean
to say that you don't remember her
name when you know her well enough
to have written her 60 many letters
that she is perfectly familiar witt,

her here in your house?"

Bruce in a bewildered tone. why

Here she was interrupted by jerks,
who suddenly broke out into outlaws
of uncomfortable mirth.
Mrs. Bruce eyed him In a puzzled
way for a moment, as II she thought
he had lost his mind and then, CON,
ing to my side, she drew my head
toward her and whispered in my
ear:

long. She can retain sympathy with the learner only by continuing to be
a learner herself. By this means, too, she can avoid the depressing effect Of
constant association with immature minds and ideals. 1t is true that many
good students of books ire poor teachers, and that something more is re-
quired Of a teacher than ability to absorb book knowledge or even laboratory
knowledge. Still the chances are extremely large that one who is a student
will be a better guide for other students than the mere empire.
Teachers should not be encouraged to get into the system and then let
the clock work. Advancement based on length of service only does not do
justice to the teacher who has the real professional spirit. The suggestion
that we can keep people up to the mark by mere fear Of dismissal is made
by those who ART not familiar with current history. Everybody should
realize how extremely difficult tit is to get rid of an inefficient teacher.
1t must be admitted that this scheme leaves out of account exceptional
natural ability, the power of the born teacher, but most of our teachers are
not born, but are made, and we are compelled to frame ur schemes to fit
the needs and capacities of the plain, ordinary teacher who has to learn her
business.
Our great cities have found it necessary to establish Normal schools
for the preparation of their teachers. 1t will soon become as legitimate
part of the work of the Normal school to carry forward the training OF
teachers after they enter the service IS it was to take them from the high
schools and make teachers of them. The Normal school that can fulfill
this double function will soon establish itself in its proper place, at the
head of the school system.
