Urges Games Instead Of Drill.
Give all American boys gymnastics
IN the open air and plenty OF opportunity
TO play games such as baseball. foot
oail and basketball. and you will do
more Tor the physical youth OF America

IF you will spend the money that YOU
intend to spend in New York for milf
tarism upon an UP to date system Of
gymnastics and for Fairgrounds and or

specialists In these lines you will do
more for the defence OF your country
and it's health and happiness. in peace
