PHYSICAL TRAINING
BY SWEDISH METHOD
Surgeon General Stokes Urges
System of Gradual Develop
ment of Normal Physique.

The health of the navy during 1911
was good. showing a slight improve
ment over that for the previous year and
q marked Improvement when compared
with that for the average year." &C
cording to the annual report Of Surgeon
General c. F. Stokes. The death rate
from all causes shows a marked reduc-
ton. Among the natives Of Guam the
births have exceeded the deaths, while
in Samoa the reverse has been true.
Surgeon General Stokes earnestly rec
ommends the adoption of the Swedish
system Of physical training for use not
only in the Naval Academy. but through
out the entire service. as its effectiveness
has been demonstrated during the past
year. both at the Naval Academy and in
the Marine Corps at those stations where
1t has been employed.
Regulation of Athletics.
The surgeon general recommends. in
view of these circumstances that "ath-
letics In the navy be SO regulated as to
avoid these deleterious conditions by the
prohibition of endurance contests where
the ability to win is largely. II not en-
tirely dependent upon brute force, and
that rather the maximum effort be made
10 develop symmetrical, normal pny-
sique in the many instead of highly
specialized human machine in few. The
adoption Of the Swedish system of ply
steal training is earnestly recommended
for use not only at the Naval Academy,
but throughout the entire service. as it's
effectiveness has been demonstrated not
only at the Naval Academy during the
past year. but in the Marine CorIs at
those stations where it has been en-
plOyed.
Gradual Development.
This system Of physical training leads
to we'll rounded out development, alert
ness and agility, particularly desirable in
a naval military organization. Since the
system was put into use at the Naval
Academy the previous tendency of the
first and second classes of midshipmen
to retrograde in strength and weight has
not only been checked. but an actual
gain has been made. There has also
been an improvement in the average
weight and strength of the lower classes.
These notable advances indicate that the
trend of physical training at the acsal-
envy Is In the right direction"

What's the Matter With
England?
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The trouble with England, if I may in
dulge in not unfriendly criticism. is in
sularity. 1 am speaking of the British
mind: 1t is hampered by the island idea.
Notwithstanding his world achievements
the Englishman remains provincial.
In other words the matter with England
is-London; and the matter with London
is it's upper class. they who have arrived.
The British public cannot feel that their
country is an empire and not an island
Always. in all English newspapers,
books, public meetings and private con-
versations there looms the shadow of
small. superior class in London, who seem
to have hypnotized all Britishers every
where into the conviction that they, in
their charmed and exclusive circle, are
the only beings worth while. The be-
numbing presence Of the privileged classes
lies athwart the pages of every novel,
and casts it's strange spell upon all
thought and work Of Englishmen in Can
ada, Australia and the Seven Seas.
And yet the glory of England is due to
the younger sons she has cast out. and
not to the noble occupants of the seats of
the mighty at home. Her power Is an
outpopulating power. Her prestige is due
to her eXpulSive force.
The British isles themselves are small
almost negligible group in world matters
Alone they mean little; but with India,
Egypt. Australia and Canada behind them
they become the most considerable force
among the nations. What England needs
is to get this notion into her subcon-
seriousness. and to get rid of the idea that
Toronto and Melbourne are only suburbs
of London, just little further away than
Hampstead. Garden City or Croydon.
With an imperial consciousness England
would have the thing she most needs, an
imperial parliament. composed Of dele
gates from her colonies. This body could
administer the affairs of the empire in
a way worth while. The present body of
lords and commons could hire hall
somewhere and attend to the matters of
Little England. Such a scheme would
not only expedite national business. but
put 1t upon a rational and equitable
basis, and incidentally solve the muddle
of home rule in Ireland and all similar
issues automatically.
A great capital city is a great moral,
social, and intellectual incubus. Rome
was the curse OF the Roman empire Paris
narrows France. Berlin is the chief
disease of Germany. Concentration means
decay. The most healthful sign of Amer
lean life is the fact that Chicago and San
Francisco are rivaling New York.
Perhaps, with developing rapid trans
portatiOn, the twentieth century will be
gin the process Of decentralization, and
the national blood heretofore congest ed
in the head. or capital. will flow more
and more into the whole system Of the
body polite.
There is no provincialism so bad as
the provincialism Of great city. The
metropolis provincialiZes a nation.
