FARM BOY is DETERIORATING
Labor-savins Machinery Given as
One Cause by Dr.. L. j. Cooke Of
Minnesota University.

Minneapolis, Minn.-The universal
use of modern farm machinery, re-
lieving the farm boy Of much Of the
heavy work formerly done by hand.
is to blame for his reported physical
inferiority to his city-bred classmate,
says Dr. L. ]. Cooke, physical direc
tor at the University Of Minnesota
DR.. Cooke recently declared that the
average city boy physically was
much superior to the country-bred
lad. Here are some of the reasons to
which DR.. Cooke ascribes the coun.
try boys inferiority:
Use Of labor-saving machinery en-
the farm.
Financial ability Of farmers to hire
laborers to perform the heavy work,
relieving their sons of the task.
Riding on farm machinery plow'
ing, moving and performing other
farm duties causing the boy to be
come stoop shouldered.
Lack Of systematic physical cul
ture.
Absence Of athletic rivalry among
young men on the farms.
