Why BILLY MAIER Is The CHAMPION
He has been under scientific physical
instruction since he was four years old
when his father began to give him exer-
cises 80 as to fully develope all parts of
the body to its fullest capabilities. His
| father was instructor in a German Turner
athletic society, such as many Germans
| have i'll their societies in this country.
1t corresponds to the American gymnas-
iuln.
This compulsory physical instruction
and the education oil military tactics
which has been required in Germany for
forty years has made the Germans the
most vlrlle and strongest people physi-
cally on earth today. Because of this
they are able TO whip any other two ma
| tions.
Because of the physical decline the
old American stock is loosing vigor and
becoming unable to do work for which
foreigners are now required. The remedy
is to have a scout master i'll every gram
MAJ school and a military drill officers in
every high school and college; not to cul-
tivate the spirit for the achievements Of
proves and valor with c~ovetuousness and
| the imperialist spirit to dominate and
rule over others, but to make a nation of
| vigorous bodied men and women capable
of enduring hard work aud living healthy
lives.
Some colleges 0 require men to learn
to swim before they are granted their
graduation certificates. All state colleges
now require military drills. Princeton
University will introduce it next Septem-
Der. In all places where the state has
armories they should be for the use OF
of school children for drill purposes.
Medical inspector are now employed by
the State to tell when the children are
not physically correct. Why not employ
a man to instruct how to develope a
good body and keep we'll as much as a
teacher to develope the mind?
The time will come when every doctor
and teacher will be required to know
physical Instruction and military drill.
