10 Aunt Deel wagon grease was
the worst enemy of a happy and re-
spectacle home.
We hitched our team to the grass
hopper spring wagon and set out on
our Journey. 1t was warm, haZy
Indian-summer day in November. AS
we passed "the mill" we saw the ST.
lgnt Woman looking out Of the little
window of her room above the black
smith shop-a low, .weather-stained,
frame building, hard by the main
road, with a narrow hanging stair on

Peabody. knows all that's goin'
on-that woman-knows who goes to
the village an how long they stay.
When Grimsnaw goes by they say she
hustles off down the road in her rags.
She looks like sick dog herself, but
T<e heard that she keeps that room
o. hers Just as neat as a PIN"
Near the village we passed a smart
looking buggy, drawn by spry-foot-
ed horse in shiny harness. Then /
noticed with a pang that our wagon
was covered with dry mud and that
our horses were rather bony and our
harness a kind of lead color. So
was in an humble state Of mind when
we entered the village.
There was a crowd of men and
women In front of Mr.. Wright's Office
and through its open door ! saw many
of his fellow townsmen. We waited at
the door for few minutes. crowded
In while Uncle Peabody stood talk
ing to villager. The Senator caught
sight of me and came to my side and
put his hand on my head and said:
"Hello, Bart How you've grown
and how handsome you look! Where's
your uncle"
"He's there by the door," I an

and high collar and his hair was al

The Senator took us intN his Office
and introduced us to the leading men
Of the county.
"Here," said che Senator as he put
his hand on my head, "is a coming
man in the Democratic party"
The great men laughed at my
Bushes and we came away with a
deep sense Of pride in US. At last I
felt equal to the ordeal Of meeting
the Dunkelbergs. My uncle must have
shared my feeling. for, to my delight.

amusing story that the university,
when first came to It, taught how
water and milk should be analyzed so
that they would~he safe, and yet the
college water and milk had never been
examined at all. and Furthermore the
milk OF the Varsity Club for our
picked athletes happened to be the
worst possible milk which we have
found for number Of years In either
Boston or Cambridge. That. OF course,
was easily corrected, and that IL one
of the means by which we safeguard
the health OF the university.
I'm continuation of that, we have
taken up certain problems. For ex-
ample, one problem that presented
Itself was a rather alarmist report
from ons OF the mid-western uni
verAties that rowing caused very
serious damage to the heart. That OF
course, made tremendous sensation
among parents. who naturally did not
want their boys to row II they were
going to get permanent heart damage
out OF it. So We attacked this prob
lem. We studied the college oarsmen,
and we were able TO study n number
OF graduate oarsmen who had par
ticipated In rowing for q number of
years. We were able 10 show that ac-
cording to Harvard's system OF train

hearts were sound after they had been

career but during ten years outside.

80 that our efforts have been large

the undergraduate.

then the word went around that we

all sorts OF problems, which were very
important to them, although often
times apparently trivial. ] think that
this group of boys, boys who are not
actually sick, but who have certain
problems, medical or physical, repre-
sents in college a very important pro-
portion. Those boys want to hay ,
somebody TO talk things over with
them. and they do not want to talk
things over with a doctor when they
happen to feel Ill. When they are III
their particular ailment occupies all Of
their attention. They want somebody
to talk to when they are relatively
well about their intimate problems of
boyhood.
And that, think, has been one OF
the greatest services OF this depart
ment, in talking with these boys and
giving them sound advice. This ad-
vice has not always been medical. II

1t is along these ideas Of DR., Sargent
and those of Dr. Lee that the Harvard
department OF hygiene formed its
plans for the new system which will
be put into effect next year. Its fun
damental basis is the idea OF getting
everybody into the game, of making
physical exercise SO attractive and

it."
The experiment which Harvard will
inaugurate this year in this matter OF
compulsory or at the least semi-com-
pulsory physical training and athlet-
les will be watched with considerable
interest by educational institutions
throughout the United States. The
percentage of young men who were
found UNIT for military service APP
plies not only to college men but to
men of all other classes of life as
well, and many men who have some
claim to being authorities on the sub
Ject have declared that the fault lay
in the fact that the schools and uni
versities and colleges of the United
States have concentrated in the past all
Of their athletic activities on turning
out teams Of highly developed athletes
to compete with the teams OF ether in
stitutions. 1t Is felt that :as need for
some sort of athletic direction which
will pay attention TO the bodies OF the
American boys as the other depart
ments of a college pay attention to
their minds has become a prime neces-
sity in American educational systems.
Schools throughout the country
have taken this problem in hand, and

years will Sc number of systemJ in

who have held the opinion that the
prevailing systems were wrong, that
they did not at all reach the men in
college for whom some sort OF physi-
cal exercise was necessity.
College Teams Really n Menace.
SO early as 1917, when it became
apparent that many OF the young men
OF America we're not able physically
to be soldiers. such an authority as
DR.. Dudley A. Sargent. director of the
Harvard gymnasium, declared that the
systems OF physical instruction would
have 10 be changed II the youth OF the
United States were to get the benefit
from them that they should get. He
declared that the war and the ex-
aminatlons Of the draft boards which
had been conducted at that time had
proved that the team idea in college
athletics was 20 Fundamentally wrong
