That the teams in the Departmental

Physical Fitness for Business Men
GETTING THE PERSPECTIVE.
BY Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

There are so many reasons supporting
claims for physical fitness for business
men that it would appear as though no
tenahle objection could be offered.
1t is the habit of altogether too many
business and professional people to stick
SO closely to their work that they are
unable to view it at a distance.
The man who lives on the side of a
mountain sees the rocks and trees and a
few Of the lesser hills beyond. He may
live there for years and still only have
a partial idea of what his mountain looks
like. 1t is SO near him at all times that
he sees only a few Of its details. II he
were to journey far out on the prairie
or make a tour of other hills he would
see his mountain from all sides, and
know it's shape and limitations.
The business man who knocks off work
for about an hour every day and goes to
his gymnasium for light exercise and his
bath and rundown is taken away from
his own mountain. He is removed to q
greater distance than the few city blocks
pressure off his mind and his nerves. He
fore him, and many that seemed great
when he was close to them look small
and inconsequential when he feels calm
and collected.
There is such a thing as being SO close
to 4 problem that it is utterly impossible
to comprehend the dimensions of that

problem. If daily physical recreation
whether in a gymnasium or out of doors
or anything giving its devotee a broader
point or view, We're followed. il would ba
the most profitable period of the day
Bent over desk, with papers, figures
correspondence and propositions mingled
In one great blurr, the business man sec s
only that which is Immediately in front
OF him. He views the details of his noun
tain, and soon comes TO regard that
mountain as 1imitless.
That business man is in the position oe
the little boy who held q penny between
his forefnger and thumb, with his arm
extended toward the sky. He held the
penny Immediately In front of the moon
and. closing one eye, suuinted at the dis
tant disc Of light Then lie gurgled in
surprise: II always thought that the
moon was big, but it isn't nearly rs biz
as my penny"
The business man who will never get
away from the hard grind Of his tas K
believes that his problems are the great
est problems I'm the world He think >
that his handicaps are the most unjust.
and all this time he Is heaping indigna-
lions upon an overworled body AMI
fagged-out mind.
His point OF view must be broader, be-
cause that viewpoint is the great govern
ing factor of his experience and knonl-
edge. He can never DO any broader than
that point of view.
The gymnasium, or some other out
door sport, Is commended to him as a
means OF seeing his mountain at dis
lance.
