The effect of athletic training upon the
mental and physical well being Of the
native has been marked. From shift

OF course. all this cannot be attributed
solely to the games of the American.
Athletics cannot claim all the credit. for
a large share belongs to the general sys-

Still it must be conceded that athletic
training in giving the pupil healthy
body also aids in giving him a clean
mind. This has been the result in the
