Movement Has Been Started by Jour-

Training of Children-CIem-
encenu to Lecture

Paris, July 24-(Special.) THAT the
population of France is decreasing, is
not the only worry of the French
statesmen. They also deplore the phys
lical deterioration of the young men
of France today, and there is general
cry just now for a compulsory course
of physical training for all French
children.
As Is quite common in France, where
Journalism is more alive and up to- date
than in any other country in the world,
with the possible exception of America,
it is a patriotic journalist, the we'll
known author. M. Victor Marguerite,
who has started the movement which
is to give to France vigorous and
alert new generation to uphold the glo-
rious tradition of their country.
series of excellently written arti-
eles by M. Marguerite in LIE Journal
have aroused the enthusiastic support
of thousands of eminent physicians all
over France, who agree with the writer
that physical training with the result
ing love of healthy, manly sport, is to
be the salvation of France.
How great is the need of physical
training is shown by the fact, that 3d.
900 Frenchmen are every year declared
to be totally unfit for military service.
Recently the gymnastic societies and
shooting clubs have increased through
out the country. A healthy craze for
sport has set in. While, however,
these are encouraging signs of the
times, they are not enough. What is
wanted is that physical training should
be given according to a method. The
Ling method Is favored in some quar-
ters but objected to in others on the
ground, apparently, that it is a Swed-
ish rather than a French system
The Joinville school, which has adopt
ed this method. is doing excellent work
in training army officers on scientific
principles, imparting knowledge of the
human body an dthe physiological eff
fects of movement. The Normal School
at Pau for the training of women teach
ers has also adopted the Swedish
method with eminently satisfactory re-
suits. M. Victor Marguerite suggests
that what is being done at Pau should
be initiated all over France, believing
that the result would be race of
strong Frenchmen.
