The Team Spirit
BY H. Addington Bruce

by n. AuulllS lOA Dlu%C
almost every calling cooperative effort IS in
dispensable Men deficient in team spirit are
virtually certain to be laggards and failures in
life Therefore one thing parents ought always to
cultivate in their children is willingness and ability
to join with others for united effort.
Happily team spirit is easily cultivated. Usually
about all that is necessary is to let children asso
ciate freely with other children. For when children
get ENTHUSIASTICALLY if they be boys-they are
reasonably sure to play games that call for har-
monious cooperation.
y. Certainly it is more than coincidence that the
tavorite games among growing boys are team
games.
This has been demonstrated statisticany by va
rious students of child life. Particularly interest
ing the results of exhaustive inquiry made
in South Carolina by Mr. H. McGhee.
Mr.. McGhee obtained statistics relating to the
play preferences of three thousand boys and girls
from six to eighteen years of age. Among the boys
that distinctvely team game baseball, was a ia
vore game of 81 per cent at as early an age as six
At the same age 40 per cent named football
among the games they most preferred to play.
With every succeeding year football gained steadily
in popularity.
As to baseball, the curve of popularity rose
steadily to the of eleven. After that it did not
go much higher 1t could not go much higher for
the that at eleven it the first choice of
7S per cent of the boys.
In more northerly section, in New jersey New
York, the New England states, Mr.. McGhees
statistics would undoubtedly have shown ice hockey
to be another game of utmost popularity even
among very small boys. More northerly still, his
figures would have included lacrosse, Canada's a
tional game, and team game of the first order.
All of these games develop keenness of mind
we'll bodily vgor. They contribute to mental
and moral discipline. And, in high degree, they
accustom boys to strive together to achieve
definite end aud thus prepare them for effective
social intercourse in later years
Moreover, Mr.. McGhee's findings show,
most boys instinctively gravitate to team games.
Some, however, do not. Let the parents of such
boys beware.
Unless physical deficiency is present making it
impossible for a boy to take part in active play,
any Discrimination to join in games like baseball,
football, hockey, or lacrosse, should be regarded
danger signal. 1t means undoubtedly that
such a boy will enter adult life handicapped in
point of social responsiveness.
If for this reason only, don't stop your boy from
playing team games with other boys Rather,
should you find it necessary stimulate him to play
them enthusiastically.

A Bold Stroke of AmeriCaniSn1.

Whatever Europe may think of President Will
sons latest utterance, among thoughtful Americans
there will be little or no dissent from the major
principles for which he speaks, because those
principles are of the very essence of American
traditions and ideals
Il am proposing" he says in the summary
of his remarkable address to the Senate,
government by the consent of the governed;
that freedom of the seas which in interna-
tional conference after conference, representa-
tives of the United States have urged with the
elequence of those who are the convinced dis
cples of liberty; and that moderation OF
ornaments which makes of armies and naVles
a power for order merely, not an instrument
of aggression Or of selfish violence"
These are the conditions which the President
declares essential any peace that shall be dura-
BILE and that shall justify the United States in join
ing league of nations to maintain and, if need be,
enforce the law and principles which this peace
would depend. Such proposals may strike resent
ment to the hearts of autocrats and may incur
high displasure in the circles of underground
diplomacy and intrigue. But among people VINO
really believe in democracy, they will be taken as
a new declaration of independence for all the
world.
The President has spoken boldly for the rights
of mankind as distinguished from the amDltlons Oh
chancellories and kings. That is why his proposals
commend themselves. to America, and that is why
they will stir the mind of the common people IN
every Old World land where they are heard. The
details of his address lead to divers paths OF spec
ulation and debate, but for the moment the lmpor-
tant things is that the President, by single stroke
of bold Americanism, has challenged the tnougnt
of all the bellgerents and of the entire world They
NAV consider his utterance astounding and auda-
cious, but they cannot permanently ignore it.

Prohibition
BY DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
II T is quite probable that within few years the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages
will be absolutely prohibited throughout the
United States.
The prohibition movement seems to be advanc-
ing with grim momentum. A majority of the
states of the Union have prohibition laws About
6O,000,000 Americans live in dry territory Eleven
cities of over 100000 population have licensed
saloons. Among these are Detroit and Seattle.
with over 100000 population each.
There are strong indications that congress will
propose, for ratification by the states, constitu-
tonal prohibition amendment this session. Two
years ago 1t voted 2O7 to "a in favor of it.
The movement appears to have gotten out of
the hands of the "evangeists" and to have assumed
far more formidable aspect, because backed by
scientists, officials, business men, and practical peo
pie generally.
Medical science has decided that alcohol is not
stimulant, but simply Hberates the lower by
Supplying the higher powers of the brain.
Insurance companies have piled up evidence
showing the increased mortality of drinkers
Experts have demonstrated the connection be-
tween alcohol and insanity, poverty and prostitu-
ton.
Health organize definite campaigns to induce peo-
pie to abstain from liquor as matter of public
health.
Literature is attacking the strong, romantic,
emotional appeal of alcoholism.
Business is against'liquor. The drinking is
discounted everywhere and an increasing number
of business concerns will not give employment
der any circumstances to the who drinks.
A large number of periodicals exclude liquor
Added force is given the prohibition in
America by the acts of Russia, France, and Eng
land during the war; all have less
strfcted alcoholism. Five provinces in Canada
dry.
1t looks if the world rapidly making
up its mind that the arch enemy of mankind, al
cOhol, that has debauched the imagination and
twisted the reasoning powers of the for
many centuries, will have TO go.
CuriOusy enough, the labor organizations, which
have most to gain from universal abstinence, have
done little nothing to advance the movement
Curiously Also it seems to be the west and south
that threatening to impose prohibition upon the
reluctant northeast.
Robert A. Woods, in a recent article in tho
Survey, quotes a sOutherners remark, that cas- tnA
north had put abolition the south,
south going to put prohibition over on the
north"
