Rev. Shattuck, continuing, spoke
of the great value of the power to
think, which every student should
devolped in his school days. He eX-
alted clean play on the gridiron of
athletics and in the game of life. He
stated that many lose out in life's
game for lack of tact and lack of
self-control. He said that we all
need fitness in faith. With strik-
ing football incident, he illustrated
how necessary faith is in game in
order to win the game-faith in the
coach and faith in the members of
the team.
He said that faith in God is nee
essary to the highest success. He
spoke reyerently of the great exam

the crisis of the Civil war, spent so
much time on his knees in prayer to
Almighty God. Washington, also, in
that gloomy winter at Valley Forge,
was often found in reverent prayer.

faith.

Paris, March en- an interesting
and lucid lecture before the Society
of Friends OF the University Of Paris,
OF which NJ. Raymond Poincare is the
president, Doctor Jacques Bertillon
has analyzed at length the problem
of the depopulation of France, its
causes and remedies.
In 1915, said the doctor, the
French amounted to is per cent of
the civilized people of the world.
They now represent only 10 per cent,
and, against $4,000, 900 people who
speak French, there are today 120,-
GOO, 900 who speak German and 150,-
100000 who speak English. This
condition is becoming more accentu-
ated, since in 1911 the number of
deaths exceeded the number of the
births in France. while in other coun-
tries the excess of births over deaths
kept at an average of about 1 2 per
thousand. Some people see a remedy
in efforts to decrease mortality; but
the doctor declared this method to
be of little or no value.
What was wanted. he said, was an
extra $50, ,000 births eavery year; the
present deficit involved economical
character. Nautilus was quite wrong
when he attempted to show that at
life's banquet there was room only
for limited number of guests. The
guests, explained DR.. Bertillon, were
also cooks, contributing their share
OF the banquet. That is why people
with high birth rate show a much
more rapid economic advance than
does France.
The consequences of depopulation
are even graver in the realm of in
telligence and culture. Technical
and scientific works, whose readers
are limited in number. but which,
nevertheless, mark the essential con-
dition of progress, are necessarily
published in languages spoken by the
greater number.
There are many factors responsible
for the voluntary and dangerous lin
itation of families in France. The
growth of individualism among 9TH
ers plays a considerable part. The
civil code, which prohibits the free
documentary disposition of property,
also favors small families. This is

SHATTUCK TALKS
TO HIGH SCHOOL !.
ON ATHLETICS
News Of City Schools
Prepared for Senti-
mel by Prof. ALLEN.

Yesterday morning, Rev. A. e.
Shattuck, pastor of the Congregation
al church, delivered an inspiring and
practical address to the high school
students. He based his remarks up
on athletics in the high school, speak
ing in terms familiar to the stu
dents and gradually leading up to
the high responsibilities of individ-
ual citizenship. The speaker refer
red to Professor Athletics as teach
er, and to the good instruction which
he gives and which proves of great
value, if rightly followed. Too oft
en- those under Professor Athletics
funk in their studies and later funk
in life, but it is not the fault of
Professor Athletics teaching, but the
wrong application of his teaching and
the lack of heed to his wise coun-
sells.
Many who go to his school, miss
some of the most vital lessons. About
a great football game with Harvard
and another university, newspaper
heading read, BOTH TEAMS FIT
FOR THE CONTEST TOMORROW.
Rev. Shattuck enlarged upon the
significance of the word, fit. He
said when a team goes down to de-
feat, it is not a disgrace to be de-
feated honorably, if each man on the
team has done his best. but the dis
grace comes in in not being fit for
the game.
The following quotation from Van
Dyke was given and formed the ba-
sis of the speakers remarks:
Four things a man must do
Who would make his calling true
Think without confusion clearly,
Act from honest motives purely,
Love his fellow man sincerely,
Trust in heaven and God securely
Continuing, he said: THE thing
that every man needs in these days
is body that is fit. A man mus
be mentally fit if he is going to make
good on the gridiron of life. The
right education involves not onl!
knowledge, but ability to apply th'
knowledge in a practical way-tht
ability to meet obstacles which arr
