The recent women's Olympic games
which may not have stirred greatly
the press of the world. calls forth an
interesting comment from the London
Daily Telegraph:
THE world, with modest composure,
has witnessed a series Of athletic
sports for female competitors. which
has been maEnificently entitled
women's Olympic. A protest is now
made against the >--.e .:fan The
training necessary to tie .fhlete and
the physical and nervous strain of
athletic competition are declared to
be pernicious to the female sex. de-
structive of health, and to exercise
an evil influence on development. We
cannot say that the occa sion of the
protest seems very fortunately chosen
Such of the performances in the
women's Olympiad as we have seen
recorded did not suggest that any
very strenuous training or inhar-
monlous development was required
of the winners That female athletic
competitions on grandiose scale are
undesirable may be true enough. but
the most old-faShioned among us can
hardly insist that girls must never
run or jump against each other. The
attack. however, is developed on a
wider front: ii is alleged that women
are now encouraged to practice sports
for which. in :he nature of things,
they are unfit, such as foot ball. and

wholly beneficial they now set them
selves to attain a standard which can
only be reached by efforts which
overstrain or warp their lowers. The
first part of this indictment we are
not inclined to take seriously. 1t is
not probable that women foot ballers
will ever become much more numer-
Gus or exercise much more influence
over the habits of their sisters than
woman acrobatS. There is no evil
dence that games or sports obviously
unfit for the female sex have any
popularity among women. But the
second charge, of tendency to carry
the cult of athleticsm to danger
Gus excess. is not to be SO lightly dis
missed. 1t is only in legend and fic-
ton that the Atalantas and hi Ner-
mons are ideals of womanhood In
the world of fact the woman who
lives for sport is not an attractive
figure. We can hardly refuse to ad-
nit that there are too many examples
In our society of over-specialized
female athletes and sportswomen, and
that there is too much idolatry of
their prowess among the rising gem

that the evil is great and growing

a small minority that their proper

There is no general discomfort in
the United States. Some who are un-
employed are restless and few of
them would perhaps welcome Il
