DISCUSS PHYSICAL TRAINING
DR., Davidson Says Mental Growth of
Child Depends on Physique.
PLEA IS MADE FOR wEAKL1NG
DIR. BesseY of the Univer-Ity of Ne
brnskR Declares the West TO he
behind the East in Physi-
cal Training,

Superintendent w. NJ. Davidson de-
clared before several hundred principals
of schools assembled in the auditorium
Of the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation building WEDNESDAY forenoon that
mental growth depends largely on
physical health, and that without a
healthy body a child cannot develop a
bright intellect.
There are three great thoughts before
the educators of today" he declared,
and the most important Of them all is
the physical training of the youth. Sec
ond comes the moral and ethical develop
ment and third great problem is the
linking together of the home and the
school so that better understanding
shall exist and the social side Of school
lie improved"
Pleads for the Lightweight.
DR.. Charles H. Bessey of the University
of Nebraska in an extemporaneous talk
pleaded for tho weakling in the schools
and pointed out that the development Of
the lightweight was as advisable as the
training of the material which can be
utilized best on the foot ball team. He
charged Nebraska with being. as are all
the western states, behind the east i'm
the matter of training the less strong,
Dr. Beseey suggested a graded system
Of athletics, such as lightweight, medium
weight and heavy weight, including boys
Of all degrees Of physical efficiency.
Athletic Training Discussed.
How to eliminate rowdyism from ath-
letics and encourage a clean sportsman
ship; how to develop the physique OF the
weak as we'll as the strong and how TO
make bodily training apply to girls as
much as to boys, were some of the
problems threshed out at the meeting.
Superintendent c. Il. Teach of Uni
verslty place declared that Nebraska
school men are not progressing against
rowdyism in foot ball and base ball. He
advocated that fathers accompany their
sons when the home team goes off to
play some rival school, and suggested
tn revival of drop-the- handkerchief and
bean bags to keep up the spirit of play.
Principal ]. C. Mitchell of Hastings
contended that the idea of the strong
man in athletics must be maintained.

stand demands them; the boys want
them"

Hastings Preparing
For Decisive Game
With Wesleyan

HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. S.-(Special.)-
After three days rest, following their VIC
tory, the Bronchos OF Hastings college
resumed training today for the Wesleyan
game OF November II. which will decide
the foot ball championship OF the big
Four" comprising Hastings, Doane, Wes-
leyan and Bellevue AS Hastings has no
intervening game scheduled the practice
from now on will be directed for this
contest. Both Wesleyan and Hastings
have defeated Doane and Bellevue and
the outcome Of the Hastings Wesleyan
contest will therefore decide the cham
pionship beyond all question. According
to, the records thus far made Hastings
appears to have a slight advantage over
Wesleyan, having made larger scores
against both Doane and Bellevue than did
Wesleyan, but this may be partially ac-
counted for by reason OF the fact that
both Hastings games were played on the
home grounds. 1t is realized here, how
ever. that Wesleyan has formidable ma
chine and no overconfidence is manifest
in the Hastings camp.

In a Japanese Temple.

"Asakuse Temple is dedicated to
the goddess Kwannon, a tiny image
of gold, about two and half inches
high" writes traveller in Japan. AT
the entrance to the temple grounds on
either side of the immense gate stand
two large and fearful looking figures,
guarding the sacred precincts Hang
ing outside the wire grating are a
number of sandals for their use If
they wish to take a walk, and rice is
sprinkled about. Each worshiper, be-
fore entering the temple, calls at a
small building, and after contributing
a small amount, washes his hands and
rinses his mouth.
in front of the main shrine is a
large aperture in the floor, covered
with lattice work, into which the wor-
shipper casts his gift. After clapping
his hands to awaken or attract the
attention of the god he kneels, but his
prayer is only brief.
"One shrine especially attracted my
attention; it was made of wood, and
quite disfigured and worn through
the constant rubbing of hands on the
spot corresponding to the afflicted por
tiocs of the sufferers bodies

Quaker City Member of Fine Arts
Academy Talks of "Mona Lisa
Of No Use While Hidden.

Philadelphia.-Just back after four
months trip through the art centers
of Europe, his first in Is years, Thorn
as P. Anschutz, instructor of the life
class of the Academy of Fine Arts,
says that he was in Paris when the
Mona Lisa" was stolen.
But l didn't take it," he said. Il
can't imagine why any one else would,
either, for it can neither be sold nor
exhibited, and painting is not of
much use or pleasure stored away.
Whatever the object. however, it
has stirred custodians Of other gal
leries throughout Europe to redouble
their vigilance and to guard more
carefully their art treasures. All Wis
itors now are watched closely. The
worst feature of the whole affair is
that it may lead to a curtailment of
the privileges accorded to art stu
dents"
Speaking of American artists as
compared with those Of Europe, he
said:
