Ancient Greek Trsin;ro.


The manner In which the Athenians
brought up their children is worth re-
Numbering. At seven years Of age the
Athenian lad entered the palcstra.
which was essentially a playground.
All the first and better half Of the day
was spent in gymnastics. dancing.
games and play. In the afternoon
there were singing. some writing. some
reading. all IN the open air and then
tame long period Of play again. Such
was the schooling Of the Greek lad up
TO the age Of ten or eleven. and 1t did
not differ essentially up to the age Of
sixteen. except in the severity OF the
exercises. And yet the world has not
ceased to marvel Mt the results Of the
Greek education. 1t produced the
highest type OF man. physically and
that the world has ever
seen. which Cation says was as far In
advance Of the modern Englishman as
the modern Englishman is IN advance
Of the native African. In physical
beauty. courage and patriotism. In
literature. architecture and
art. the Greeks have been the unsur-
passed models Of the ages and are still
the inspiration Of our schools today.
But they placed the emphasis upon
hygiene. exercise. games and play.
which are too much neglected In these

 GATHER AT SIDNEY
Roosevelt Should Arrive Not Later Than Saturday if Weather Is Favorable.

Sydney, Cape Breton. Sept. s-The time of the arrival of the Roosevelt, bearing Commander Peary. at Sydney is a matter of speculation to-day.
 The telegraph office at Chateau Bay, however, has been abandoned and the nearest telegraph office he can reach is at Red Bay, 25 miles southwest of Chateau Bay. It is presumed that the Roosevelt will put into Red Bay.
 It is probable that the trip from Red Bay to Sydney will be made without a stop, in which event he should ar rive here not later than Saturday, in case the weather is favorable.
 The Straits of Belle Isle report rough seas. which make it impossible to do more than approximate the time of the Commanders arrival here
 The city is already filling up with visitors attracted by the news of Peary's coming. Newspapermen from all over the United States have tele- graphed for hotel accommodations and the scenes that greeted Dr. Cook when he landed in Copenhagen are to be duplicated here.
