Of Harvard clashed at to-day's meeting
Of the American Physical Education Asso-
citation on the question Of how much
exercise is suitable for women. Prof
Tyler warned his hearers emphatically
against allowing girls Of from 10 TO Is
TO do too much. Many if not most OF
the physical educators in girls schools
and colleges prescribe too much. Too
much Of nothing is good"
DR.. Sargent said: "The last speaker
said the day Of heavy work for women
had gone. On the contrary. II is just
coming in He said that they should
not have heavy work during the gram
mar school age On the contrary. that
is just the time when they should have it.
The great and crying need day is for
