would have told every of them to take a

I'm Two Parts-part II.l

We arc beginning to see how dearly we have
had to pay for concentration in work and for
our profitable divisions of labor. Only little while
ago used to take pride in hearing it said that
we were living in an age of specialization Nova
days there is specialization in most OF the hum
bier fields of work. man is taught to do one
thing. In that thing he acquires expertness. and
for his expertness he has to suffer both in body
and in mind He becomes. not only narrow. one
sided perhaps idca-ed, but also tormented with
monotony.
1t is the monotony and the narrowness Of our
way of living that drives so many to seek
wholesome expression in physical exercise But
this expression they ought to be able to secure in
other ways. by change of work. by devotion to a
variety OF interests, and by establishing relation
TO the soil both delightful and profitable.

amounts practically to an assertion that he has
been convicted on false testimony

Gated the conquest OF nature, the overcoming OF
natural difficulties for the benefit of man, a
substitute for military service. He suggested that
after few years every youth in the land be
drafted into such an army OF useful workers.
The training that youth would receive In this
way might teach them how to take exercise with
out waste of energy. with increased incentive and
with productive results.
We might have municipal fields where men
could be encouraged to do wholesome labor for
the benefit of society.
Such work would surely be more attractive than
running over an indoor racetrack pummeling a
