The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi

the cause is often given as heart dis

DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME OF
TENNIS.

l
i The extent which athletics has game
a foothold in schools and colleges Of tn
/ United States is remarkable. The schoo
1 which has no football or baseball team
is considered back number among edu
cational institutions of the secondar,
class, and the college which goes withouf
one or the other of such representation
is looked upon as almost an impossible
ity. So great demand is made for ath
letics that instructors and trainers are
required to teach the sports and assist
the participants in maintaining the prop
er physical condition. There soon came
the specialization of instruction in sports
and now well known school in New
Hampshire has engaged the services of a
special instructor in tennis to take charge
of the boys who may wish to partici-
pate liz that branch of athletics. Here
tofore, schools have engaged the services
of special coaches for football, baseball
and perhaps track athletics, but special
ization in sports has not been carried
to the extent of having special in
structor for tennis.
And yet. there is fully as much reason
why there should be special instructor
in tennis as there is for teaching in
football or baseball. Indeed, there are
some reasons why tennis should be de-
veloped as a school sport much more
than those other sports. The prime rea
son is that more boys can participate in
tennis than in football or baseball. al.
though not as many may represent the
schools in contests with other institu-
tons because the teams are necessarily
smaller. And the real excuse for ath-
letics in school is the physical building
up of the greatest number OF the stu
dents. Another reason why tennis ought
to have a more prominent place is be-
cause IL is far less dangerous than foot
ball or baseball as 10 loss of life or
fracture Of limb, while At the same time
il is developing the physique without too
much strain on endurance. Furthermore,
tennis develops the habit of quick think
ing 20 circumvent the moves of the OPP
and the rules Of the game are
calculated to develop the honor of the
participants much as the game of golf
