He does not make the most of it ia the
first place. but merely forces it by an
unnatural process into a condition.
where it will make a show for q little
while. He merely stimulates insteaE
of nourishing it.
This is almost as bad as letting the.
system go altogether uncultivated.
Training imperative.
Now true athletics does not consist
in using up all ones capital in q few
years, but in investing that capital in
such a way as to make it bring ip
twice as high interest as before and to
make IL last as long as life lasts.
Athletics for boys Is not mere fad
or a good thing" 1t is a duty. That
fact is realized more generally to-day
than ever before. 1t is gradually be
coming understood that the sallow,
hollow-chested boy with the thin neck
and the big head develops into Il con
sumptive quite as often as he develops
into an Edgar Allan Poe, and that the
alert, athletic lad is far more likely to
become a Roosevelt or Bismarck
than to grow into a prize fighter
Proper and careful cultivation OF the
body cannot fail to strengthen the
brain; nor in most cases can a quick,
powerful mind inhabit a feeble, liz
tended body
In other days the average boy took
up athletics more or less against his
parents wishes. He should do SO to
day by their positive orders, just as
they order him to school and plan his
three meals per day.
1t is my plan in these lessons to
show the American schoolboy how he
may become a first-rate, allaround
athlete without interfering with his
studies, practically without cost and
with permanent benefit to his genera
health
II the schoolboy's parents win also
take the trouble to follow these les
sons they will agree that the course
can be only of benefit to their sou,
and they may acquire few ideas they
can put to personal use.
In fact, the first steps in the AmeTi-
can schoolboy's athletic career de
pend almost wholly on the parents. for
they should begin before the boy is OF
age to go to school.
Start with Babyhood.
His education along these lines
ought to begin soon after he is out OF
the cradle. With such start he 0byi-
ates all risk of future injury and has
the average boy athlete at sad disad-
vantage.

tance. The event in which En- Sue won

trial. finishing ahead of En- Sue and
l.. Enpui. En- Sue got poor start in
this heat The time was :05 4-5. In
the final, however, En- Sue ran like a
champion, beating Lo and Woo in the
record-breaking time of :05 Is. All
three got off to a very good start En-
Sue also won solid gold medal for
making the greatest aggregate number
of points, 2S, at the meet.

which are being printed about En- Sue

Building" etcl
There is perhaps no more abused
word in the language than athletics"
and the traditional athlete has but
himself to thank for the reputation his
hobby has gained For, instead nf
taking up the subject in sane maK-
ner, the average aspirant for athletic
honors is prone to make his hobby an
idol at whose shrine he sacrifices
number of very good and very useful
things Among these are time that
should be otherwise employed, money
that would better be saved, and
greatest and most useless sacrifice
health.
Abuse of Athletics.
Now every one of these sacrifices
is unnecessary. The boy who cannot
become an athlete without squander-
ing his allowance and his study hours
on it and risking his health is not fit
to be an athlete. Athletics should nc
health giver, rot a health destroyer,
and proficiency in il is within tue
reach Of the poorest as we'll as the bust
est boy.
Opponents of athletics point TO the
fact that few professional athletes
such as pugilsts for instance-live to
old age, and that their constitutions
collapse at time when they should
be strongest.
To such persons the best reply is
that pugilism is not athletics. Ii is
sheer, unnecessary brutality. Such
professionals are like men who.
with just enough money to live on in
comfort through life, draw the whole
sum from the bank. live like multl-ruil-
lionaires for few years and then cot
lapse into penury. The professional"
uses up his strength and vital energy.
