nation and convincing logic on the SUI
You. no doubt. AVE heard me
that you IN tired but the only way
that n can succeed on n subject
that Is SO vitality important TO tho
welfare Of the community and the
state and the nation Il by REPETITION.
I I'M going to ask you again to bear
with ne for Just q few minutes until
1 explain TO you tho object OF the ALI
which headquarters has made this
day necessary to be devoted to the
verr .mportan. work OF the physical
development OF tho boy. When such
a great body OF the successful business
ment OF the world as the Information
Association OF Rotary clubs Is, mist
needs take the time. energy and hard
earned money. to put forward and
support such things as these then you
may well realize tina Il must be very
important for the welfare OF tho ma
ton Certainly nothing can be more
great nation
"one must remember that there are
three great things that make ur fo-
tho life OF the boy; his physical de
velopment. his mental development
and his religious education. That is
a known fact The other things 1 n
his makeup arc usually classified un.
der these headings. The time has ar.
rived when we must take advantage OF
every opportunity to educate the pub
lie to n fuller realization to the future
mental. moral and physical standards
OF Dur people and II is hoped that this
day viii inspire all OF you to a fuller
c~o-operation with the local committee
of boys work to get the results.
"Much has been accomplished and
very much is yet TO be done. When
one recalls from n former statement
that only about 20 per cent OF the
men drafted in the late war could
have passed the examination physi
cally OF the regular army and navy as
II is in timo OF peace. We T brought
to realize that tho Rotary club has
made this day one of its important
days on the calendar Of activities. This
Important work can nc longer be LEFT
to the state and tho municipalities as
they have already enough to do witt
the mental development of the boy In
the building up OF our great schoo
system.

n boy II he is thoroughly educated
and pushed to h .limit in his mentn
education II his body Is neglected I,
the degree that when his education Il
completed he hasn't the strength o
body to give his mentality the full
power and force that belong to hin
and will make him n successful man
The human body develops from birth
on and IL the simple requirements o
this body were taken care of from
that time on he would not be nearl,
SO handicapped as so many of then
are at the present time. So man,
states are making 1t imperative tina
at the birth of a baby his eyes be prop
erly protected 30 as to reduce case
OF blindness to the minimum. This 4
n wonderful thing. Why not make 1
as imperative that the baby also hnv'
that natural food which he needs Il
develop him and give him n goot
start in life. You all realize The i'm
portance of the proper bringing VI
and the health OF the youngster n
he enters school. He should nave tn
proper food. proper caro- of his body
and the proper outdoor life that will
mako him healthy and happy. II HI
hasn't hat healthy body how can HI
start his mental education? II his ply
steal development mas been watched
over and he has been made a happy
healthy kid, you may rest assure'
that he Will hop to his studies with
vim.
The next thing you will notice hin
become restless and IT will be har'
to keep him at home. It Is only tn
stored up energy that he has and mus

come in. Encourage him all you sal
in those games and outdoor play tina

care of. Don't worry about playinI
too hard for his own body will tel
him when to call a halt and when h
is tired. Give him good nourishini
