band a few months ago for stealing
some clothing in Burlington. She
was sentenced to nine months in

affair was worse than the disturbance
in San Francisco. The fact that
Baron Ishii, Director of the Bureau

much commented upon as indicating
the intensity of the bitterness in Can

did not compare with the magnifcence
of the athletic. club houses which have
been erected in New York City, where
the rigor of the winters and the lack
of opportunity for outdoor exercises
alter the conditions yet it marked the
fact that San Francisco was ready to
spend money lavishly in the cause OF
physical exercise and Development.
After the fire. among the first tenn
porary buildings to be erected were the
gymnasiums OF the German turn
vereins. Our German citizens are
among the most ardent disciples OF
physical culture. With them the dis
tinction is made between athletic con-
tests which develop one faculty and
one set OF muscles at the expense OF
the symmetry of the body and carefully
directed gymn2 sites aimed at the up
building of the body in all it's grace
and perfect proportions.

pupils in the public schools. they arc

exercises with wands and Indian clubs
to give them strong and well-developed
limbs and erect bodies.
long hours in lily ventilated school
rooms, whose bodily development was
stunted in crowded cities or overbur-
dened by labor in factories and on
farms, are now being taught to win
new vitality, better circulation and
sound and refreshing sleep. A thou

the generations that arc to be.
Girls are being taught the art of the
foils. In fencing every faculty is in
tense activity. and the girl in a fencing
bout lives more in fifteen minutes than
did her great-grandmother in a whole
childhood of patchwork quilts and sew
ing classes
Possibly it is because the Californian
always took kindly to athletic sports
that the State is leading in this
worldwide seeking for a better and
stronger body and freedom from sick
ness and disease; but. however that
may be, it is good to know that when
the generation of the giants that are
to be are ruling the earth the Califor-
nian may be head and shoulders above
his brothers.

They are realizing that If physical
training is Of so much Importance TO
the adult it is OF even greater mo-
ment to the child. whose body is pill
able and readily responds to systematic
training.
Here in San Francisco people are
giving more time to physical exercise
and athletics than in any other city in
the country. One reason for this is
the climate, which permits outdoor
games throughout the year. Another
reason IS that the people earn gener-
ally better pay and have more leisure
than the working people in the East"
II is well to know that San Fran
cisco is leading in q change. the magni-
tude Of which is as yet scarcely sppre-
ciated. over in Berkeley the physical
instructor recently made careful meas
urements OF the girls in the university
and 3 comparison of their development
with that OF their sisters in Eastern
colleges showed that the California
girl was stronger of arm and leg and
bigger Of chest. This difference was
attributed to the fact that the Cali
fornia girl took more outdoor exer-
else, climbed more hills and paid more
attention generally to the development
OF her body than did the student at
wellesley and Nassar. The fact that
physical exercise where il is main
tained and properly directed will add
to the strength and size of the human
body is accepted as indisputable
What, then, is to be the result where
a whole people are giving their time
TO physical development? Ask any
doctor what viii be the result on the
offspring OF the woman who goes
through her daily system exercises as
q regular part Of her morning toilet.
The physicians are not merely con-
templating the possible result: they
are advising women to throw away the
contents of the medicine closet and
take up physical training.

A Significant Movement
You may have thought that these
things were insignificant. The fact is
that they are minor symptoms of a
deep-seated movement which is gradu-
ally changing the size and form Of the
human body. That ii is not a spasmodic
thing every student Of history knows.
1t has its beginnings in the theology
of the reformation, and its growth has
been OF that slow kind that betokens
its significance. For centuries men sat
under the spell OF a theology which
taught that the human body was es-
sentlaIly evil. The greatest saint was

most. Fasting was the cardinal virtue.

took the power of great causes to set
the whole race to work at physical de-
velopment, which will only reach its re-
suit when we are dead and buried. But
that 1t is so at work, man. woman and
child, to create a finer clay for its de-
scendants' bodies, is no less true.

San Franciscans Love the Air
In no city are the people so univer-
sally given to outdoor recreation as
they are in San Francisco. Every Sun
day morning the ferryboats are crowd
ed with families bound on the weekly
excursion to the Marin and Berkeley
hills and to the parks and pleasure
grounds in the open air.. The bay Is
dotted with yachts and motor boats
The beach is bright with workingmen
and their families enjoying the warmth
of the sun on the sand and the breezes
that sweep across the Pacific. Other
hundreds are on the grassy slopes OF
the park and enjoying the music of
raul Steindorlfs orchestra or watching
the athletic games in the stadium If
you are an early riser you will see the
earlier boats to Sausalito carrying men
and women in walking suits bound for
a days clambering on the slopes of
Tamalpais, while others are heading
for the baths at the cliff for morning
plunge and then forenoon's idling on
the sand or on the cliffs at Lands End.
