IN my opinion no other pdSsime,,
outdoor or in. compares with golf for
phys ical and mental development ari
ie.ayaton ard ] would advise every
lad to take up the great Scottish
game as early in life as possible. The
things which golf teaches in poirt
OF sportsmanship and gentlemanly
qualities are not found in any otncr
game. But, despite my high re gard
for golf and my actual love for IL,
cannot bring myself to believe that
anything like as many people play
golf as play baseball.
Golf 10 open to men. women and
children alike of whatever age, where
baseball fs strictly a masculine sport
tered exceptions. Right here in Wash
;rgton there are one or two girls
baseball teams, but these twenty or
thirty girls do not compare with tn,
hundreds of wives, mothers, sisters
and daughters of we men who are
ardent golf devotees."
So much for Bill Price who has here
given you a liberal minded opinion of
tho question at hand.
Carry your attention for the mo-
ment to the picture around which
this story is twined. Here is an
example of the opportunities which
Eolf gives the parent to help rear the
young.
As q mother or father teaches its
little ones the. rudiments of reading,
writing or 'rithmettc so that in later
rfe the offspring will be mentally de-
veloped to win its way in the world,
SO golf affords an opportunity for
that same parent to develop the
youth in q physical recreation which
also requires a liberal amount OF
mental control, self-restraint and
ability to collaborate practically all
the faculties with which nature en-
dowed u.s.
Nature expects us to mature phys
.cally and mentally and make the
lest Of what she started US with. 1t
i~ our duty to ourselves and to those
who look to us for protection and
guidance. This duty golf gives us
un excellent opportunity to perform.
