THE PHYSIQUE OF SWITZERLAND

Switzerland is known as the eoun- try of physical exercises no less than Sweden. Physical tests of 8 semi gymnastic kind form part of the ex- animation which military recruits are forced to undergo, over and beyond an educational test. The physica test for fitness for service is as fol- lows: First, g. test of -jumpines second, the number of times dumb bell of 38 pounds can be lifted; finally a fiat race over eight metres. This examination has had most bene- hcial effect upon the progress of gym nastic instruction in the schools. Tho number of recruits who have passed the tests from 1906 to 1911 is 181,- 542, of whom 10000 failed at the first trial, but subsequently, passed.-West< minister Gazette.

 Mechanical Contx4vaooes.

Mechanical CoptEswapoeG ds9&9
 was hunting the other day through se~apaa stores in a slzabIe oaGy for e simple little o9r& for EofdlelEina> There were carts many, some with horses otbeTg with motors, bHH all highly octored co2tIy, elaborate. I Ooa1d not find the small two-wneeaer VvaHtsd, in TV4atoh t11e little fellow So0zd haul blocks CT stones and iKna9- he 61arnesaR a tean@ter.
 The toys I saw set me to wondering vshA& wssa De the enect upon the child of fhe modern paaythlng that is play cd Cor him. He can't even wind up the ordinary mechanical toy. This has to be done by brother or sister, and while the horse praGroes or the alseo buzges it's fragile life away, our younsSteP 3 merely the spectator. Eve@yEhinz Is done wsthoEA+ effort on his part
 Won't this make a b4ass man osst of han9 Won't the boy who has not learned 10 find zest in his own active work with his toys become the man who must have inceesant travelling and tneaAre going to heep him coA- tent7
 Meanwhile rodd1ekans with his homely and inexpensive htf4e cart or gtove1 and sand pile, hs developing re- 
 Sgrz fo play alone until he iS strong snouzh to join the strenuous games of f41e older children.

Ought not that to help him become a man who shall find zest in his daily task?
 To anyone who believes in simple pseasures for children, it is ddsheart- eniug to wander through the toy de- partment of a modern store. The amount of money wasted on fake toys is ornettiEg astonishing. A small boy friend Of mine has recently had rsl1tte a longing for toy aeroplanes. At least fomf of these toys have been boaazd1t for him within a year or two.
 Their flight was the poorest kind of Raa apology, ae all you could do was 10 tie the toy to 9 chandelier, wind It r1p and 1t would make a little circle ground at a slight angle from the per- pendicuIar But after a little hand ling and abuse, very soon 1t would not even do that.

 Two chief reasons were given for the determin- aton to separate the boys and girls in the Horace Mann school, one perhaps everywhere valid and the second confessedy based the character this particular school and therefore not generally applicable the problem.
 The first and apparently decisive fault found in co-cducation by the observers for whom Dutton spoke that it subjected pupils called it. which, while beneficial to and needed by the boys. excessive for the girls and put them under strain injurious to their fraiIcr physiques and sensitive temperments
 There is plausbility in this contention always even often. found in the arguments of those opposed to co-cdUcaton. It novel. too, the despicabie quality of the common undergradu- argument, openly expressed. thnIy yelled the girls should be put out because they win all
 The other reason was that as boys and girls be taught widely different vacations, their instruction the buildings was seriously n- convenient. If the difference be real conclusion is logical, and requires no discussion
 It is most significant fact that Dr. Duttons regret for the change that it would deprive the school of the "socia' features which he valued highly All believers in co-education will leap a that admission, since it will be confusing O those always making much of the al timacies of mixed schools for the adolescent Why boys and girls are best prepared by rigid separa- tion during the formative period together men and women has never been convincngly eXplained-and never will be-New York Times.
