PHYSICAL EDUCATION
BY H. Arlington Bruce
IF parents only appreciated the close


parents only appreciated the close re-
lation that exists between bodily health
and mental and moral vigor, the cam
pa1gn for compulsory physical education of
all school children would have been success
fulIy concluded long ere this. Yet many par
ents even today regard physical education in
the schools merely an expensive fad.
What are the facts?
Let me give answer in the words of DR..
Dudley A. Sargent, for forty years director
or the HemenWay Gymnasium at Harvard
University, and perhaps the first American
educator to make systematic application of
the formative and reformative influences of
physical education on the mind and the char
acter. Summarizing some of these influences
at my request, DR.. Sargent with reason points
out:
physical education, 1t should be need
less to say, includes much more than body
building through exercise. But even exer-
else alone, if properly carried on, has pro-
found effects for good on the personality.
"This has been impressed on me again by
actual experiences in my work with college
men and with girl students. Repeatedly I
have seen undesirable traits vanish, to be
replaced by most desirable ones
THE diffident become normally self-as-
sertive, the timjd develop self-confidence
self-reliance, decision, and initiative. Even
those morally SO weak as to be almost vic
iOus may be favorably influenced by exer-
cises raising their bodily tone.
ana tnlS IS not surprising When one ap-
preciates the reflex action Of bodily states
on the psychic constitution and attitude. The
more one feels right bodily, the easier it is
to live right, mentally and morally
Hence physical education should have an
important place in the curriculum of every
school. What, indeed Is learning without
health? And how can the efficiency so in
sistently required today be secured If,
through ignorance, habits Injurious to health
are permitted to develop"
Which Is precisely what has happened to
myriads of people in the past and is hap
pening to myriads today.
Untaught to safeguard themselves by hy-
gienic habits, their bodies undeveloped or NAL
developed, thousands impotently wonder why
they cannot work to really effective purpose,
cannot really get on in the world, cannot win
the happiness that is rightly theirs. You
see these poor people on every hand. You
sympathize with them Perhaps you wonder
at them, as they do themselves.
Physical education-using the term in the
broad sense of instruction and practice in
exercise instruction and practice in person
al hygiene would have meant much to
such unfortunates. And the sooner it is
made part of the education of all children.
the sooner we shall have fewer unfortunate
of this sort.

In American Bottoms

~ HERE is a vast deal Of significance
and satisfaction in the Department of
Commerce report showing that more
than fOrty-Ulree per cent of this country S
seven billion, one hundred and forty-five
million dollars worth of exports in 1920
was carried in ships flying the American
flag. This represents gain OF ten per cent
over the yea preceding and of more than
total of export values was some two billion
dollars less than last year.
These figures bear striking witness to the
steady growth in the usefulness and power
of our merchant marine. Only some seven
years ago ninety per cent of our overseas
trade was being carried in foreign bottoms,
q situation that was revealed as exceeding
ly perilous when the European war diverted
a host of those carriers to military service
and left IS in sore straits for ocean trans
portation The South remembers that year
as the time when cotton, being suddenly cut
off from foreign markets, dropped to five or
six cents a Iound and even at that beggar-
ly figure found few buyers; the common
country rem 4nt ers it as 4 time of severe
trade restrictions and consequent shrinkage
of prosperity, largely for lack Of an ade-
quate, Independent American merchant ma
rine.
But the experience was we'll worth while
in that it fastened constructive action in
this long neglected realm of national inter-
ests. If progress continues upon the magn1-
ftcent foundation which has been laid in the
last three years, tx country never again
will be embarrassed by want Of ocean tom
mage, but will be able to serve others while
prospecting itself from its woodworking mer-
chant fleet

Do You Want a Buffalo,

-HE news will come with a shock of
surprise to most people that the
American buffalo, far from being ex-
dnct, has so thriven out in Oklahoma that
bull buffalo may be had for the asking by any
institution or reputable citizen in the United
States.
For some years the public has enter
tanned the idea that the buffalo couldn't be
found anywhere except on a nickel. The
buffalo took it's place with David Crockett,
Kit Carson, the pony express, Sitting Bull
and the battle Of the Little Big Horn as a
figure OF a glamourous past. One would
no more have expected to encounter q real
live buffalo, outside of few cherished parks
in the West, than he would have dreamed
of meeting Rain-in-the-Face himself walk
ing along Peachtree street
But at the Wichita National Forest
and Game Preserve in Oklahoma, where a
herd of fifteen buffalo was established fiji
teen years ago, the buffalo has been coming
back to its own. There are now enough
bulls in the park to carry on breeding
operations and leave a surplus of twenty
bulls, ranging in age from yearlings to vet
Grams of twenty-eight, which the Federal
Forest Service is willing, nay, anxious, to get
rid of. So Uncle Sam is offering buffalo
bulls free.
Here is an opportunity not to be overlooked
Here is chance for farmers, city folk, even
society grande danes, alike. For what might
not a buffalo be able to do on the farm?
What a unique ornament he would be to
someone's front yard! What a chorus of
envy would arise should some ultra-stylish
person inaugurate the fashion Of leading her
pet buffalo about by the chain! The slogan,
Have you a little buffalo in your homer"
might even be used by some ambitious
founder of a buffalo farm.
One has only to write to the Federal For
est Service at Washington to get buffalo
that is, if the applicant qualities and if the
supply lasts long enough. No individual or
institution will be permitted to have more
than one bull, and references must be given
that will insure proper treatment of the ami
NAL. Cruelty to buffaloes will not be toler-
ated. Also, the buffalo seekers will have
to pay the freight on their bull from Okla
homa.
Once one has his buffalo, his troubles are
practically over, according to the forestry
service. For the buffalo forages for himself
turing the spring, summer and autumn, ana
requires only two tons of hay during the
winter.
But those who would satisfy their yearn-
ing for a buffalo would better act quickly.
With only twenty bulls available and the en-
tire country invited to step in with applica-
tons, 1t scarcely seems safe to wait until
next Christmas to get pet buffalo for little
Johnny.

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES.

A man who was negotiating for the pur-
chase Of house suggested that the price was

another house in front"
But if do so, I spoil this"
well, you need not built it unless you
want to-.
'Then how do I get the advantage?"
Because you can build if you wish"
But don't 1 tell you that if I build an
other house spoil this?"
Then why build it?'

Why We Lag IN Av;;at;on

7 spite of grudging and unimaginative
Congress which refused to lend right
full support, American aviation during
the last twelvemonth has achieved notable
results. "The finest aerial mail service in the
world in it's percentage of regularity is
the praise which Mr.. Cuthbert Hicks, lately
of the British Royal Air Force b -.tows upon
the accomplishments Of the Postoffice De-
partment in this sphere. approximately one
hundred million letters were carried in 1920
by the Departments air lines operating be-
tween Washington and New York, between
New YORK, Cleveland Chicago, Omaha and
San Francisco, between Seattle and Victo-
ria, B. c., and between Key West and Ha-
vana.
Moreover, there were some exceedingly ad-
mirable American flights in the course OF
the year, notably that from Long Island to
Nome Alaska and return. distance of nine
thousand miles comprised in less than five
days of flying time. This was an exploit of
army aeronauts, using four remodeled De
Haviland war planes, each provided with a
Liberty motor. Highly remarkable, too was
the expedition of Commander Reid, who
flew his famous NC-4 from Long Island,
down the Atlantic border, along the Gulf
coast and up the Mississippi to Cairo. ILL.,,

major influences in the prosperity
~ and upbuilding of Georgia, the sew
eral hundred delegates to the annual
meeting OF the State Farm Bureau Fedora
ton now in progress in Atlanta are among
the most cordially welcome guests it has
ever been the city's privilege to enter tain
They have come together to take counsel on
matters of material import to commerce and
industry as we'll to agriculture, matters
touching the very source of business susie
nance and grow tn.
The fundamental economic problems are
those which reach back to the soil and con-
Germ primarily the man behind the pillow.
How can crops be made more boLntiful, and
how more efficiently conserved? How can
they be marketed to the better advantage of
producers and consumers? How can the rich
stores of agricultural knowledge which scien-
tific experiment and research have accumu-
lated and continue to heap steadily higher
be wrought into the daily plans and efforts
OF the farming rank and file? These and
kindred questions must be answered If the
Commonwealth is to prosper and the inter-
ests Of both city and countryside go vigor-
ously forward.
Of all the thinkers and workers who are
e.4deavoring to answer them, none is doing
better service than those in the manifold
activities of the Georgia Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. Their labors extend into every coun-
ty Of the State, into every field of farm
needs and opportunities and they benefit
first and last, every sphere OF the common
interests.

Atlanta welcomes these leaders in the States

from other parts of the South and the Union.
May their sojourn be enjoyable to them, and
their convention rich in good results.
