PHYSICAL TRAINING
MAKES MENOF BOYS
Youths Should Be Trained to
Defend Themselves-Scien-
tific Instruction Prepares
Them for Lies Combats.
BY SARGE.

1t has been determined by compe-
tent authorities that young boy
should be systematically trained and
developed physically and mentally that
alertness of mind may be backed up
by strength of body for today the
race is for he who can endure and
not only maintain his competitors
speed, but lead when the proper time
arrives
A young boy who shows signs of
sickness or frailness of body works
under q handicap that is a draw back
at the start. He is the butt of his
blaymates' gibes, for they know that
he cannot or will not strike back when
oppressed and, in time, as he grows
up to young manhood, he lacks con-
fidence in himself, in self-conscious
and afraid to take his place in the
world. On the other hand, the boy
strong of body and mind upholds his
end with all; he is filled with fresh
ness and Vigor, and when he reaches
the age when he must mingle with his
fellow men and carve his own pathway
to success, he is filled with confidence
in himself and his ability and takes
the lead away from his weaker brother
PERMIT BOYS TO TRAIN. A
Parents should, by all means, give
their growing boys over to a competent
physical instructor for transformation
into sturdy young manhood, filled with
ambition red blood, confidence. energy
and endurance. And no better man
for the purpose can be found in Idaho
than Nick Collins, who knows what to
do to develop a boy, just how hard
to work him to get results and who
will take a boy and teach him to take
care of himself in every way.
Alvin Quinter, aged 10, the large
boy shown in the pictures, was boy
who was brought to strength, manli-
ness and perfection of body and mind
in a short time. Today Alvin
stands the peer in symmetry OF
body of any boy of his age in Idaho.
He can wrestle, box and play games,
and is in perfect health. He loves his
studies, his mind is alert, his memory
excellent and he is soon to blossom out
into young manhood, equipped to take
his stand beside men and hold his own
with the best of them. Sick days do
not come to him--he works hard
and plays hard. He is manly, gentle
manly and a boy who never gives
any trouble, because he has been
taught that the way to success is open
to he who does right and plays the
game honest and aboveboard. He is
fine example of clean, young manhood.
DEVELOPS RAPIDLY.
Raymond Schmitt, aged IA, the
smaller boy, came to Mr.. Collins like
Alvin. Today he is filled with pep"
and loves to go to school and study,
for it is easy for his active mind to
grasp and retain the problems and
their answers that are preparing him
for future life. He is strong and quick
as a flash. And the boys don't TACKLE
him any more like they did-several
of them tried 1t and ia pounds Of
1.-the boy with both fists working sci
ontifically dampened their ambitions.
he wrestles with boys twice his
weight, and holds his own-sometimes
throwing the other fellow--and handles
himself like veteran with gloves He
Is manly little fellow with a. healthy,
sunshiny smile and disposition, and
physical culture made him the bright,
active, strong boy he is today.
And your sons should be given the
same opportunity to fortify themselves
against the future.
