way three years ago, and the classes
have grown so rapidly that the insti-
tuition has at present staff Of sew
enteen instructors in this department
The movement is significant of the
broadening meaning which has been
given education. In the early days
the schools devoted themselves al
most exclusively to intellectual pur-
suits. Athletics had little or no
place in school life. Social interests
was largely taboo. The elementary
schools taught the "Rs" and allied
subjects. The colleges were almost
exclusively devoted to the classics.
For long time the schools have
given a sort of indirect support and
tacit approval to the idea Of add
ing to "book larnin'" some training
in other elements of life. Athletic
contests have come to be central
college interest. The students have
been permitte a large freedom in So
cial activities. College journalism
has offered an outlet for ambitions
lying somewhat out of the direct
range of the class room.
This tendency is entirely reasona-
! BILE. The idea that the growing and
developing young person is compos-
ed exclusively of mind is not good.
There is no reason why the schools,
which have the young people during
their formative years, should not see
to it that they come out not only with
minds well trained, but with educated
bodies, educated business instincts,
cultured social characteristics.
One difficulty in the past in the
matter of athletics has been that it
has been considered no definite part
of the college life, but something adj
ded on, an extraneous interest, the
control of which has been largely in
the hands of the students themselves.
At least two colleges have lately de-
cided to make the athletic coaches
regular members of the faculty, cho-
esn and paid just as the teachers OF
mathematics or philosophy are. The
result of this new attitude, which is
reflected in the establishment Of the
course in the University Of Illinois
will be to make available to all The
students, instead Of to limited mum,
Der of them, definite physical educa.
ton. The college graduate Of the
future will be better equipped in ev.
cry way to meet the impact Of every
day life than has been the case in the
past.-Miami Herald.

The President is now urging that a
loan of five millions be made to Libe
ria, the negro republic on the West
African coast. More money taken
from the taxpayers pockets to throw
at birds. Liberia now owes one and
one-half millions with practically no
chance that it will ever be paid I'M
less it is done out of the money
which the President desires to adj
vance. The chief object of the loan
seems to be to show the colored vo-
ter in this country what great and
good friend the race has in the White
House. Like the anti-lynching bill
it is intended to produce profound
eject on the colored brother.
The Senator republicans are plac-
ing in the tariff bill duty on hides
to fool the farmer. They will prob
ably discover next November that the
farmer is not easily fooled; he knows
that tariff on hides can not compel
the packers trust to pay more for
the live steer by reason Of the hide
which covers it. The packers bic
their price for the steer, considering
him as so much beef and viewing the
hide as a by-product obtained fol
practically nothing. 1t would take
an ingenious Philadelphia lawyer tt
devise a method of getting arount
this situation and compelling the
packers to pay a fair price for botf
the beef and the hide; then begins
the problem of preventing such out
rageous profiteering as compels the
farmer to pay much more for a pail
of shoes than he receives for an en-
tire beef hide. The Republicans arr

desire to solve them; they are merel!

haps if we could hide this plant away
down in some dark cave and camou-
flage it with invisible decorations,
and fix it so no one could know who
the editor was, or who the anything
else was, we could print a lot Of these
communications and then sit back
with the authors and chuckle at the
telling blows we had driven home for
right and justice.
The Times Union receives many
communications, ninety-nine per cent
of them anonymous, accompanied
with the statement "you will not dare
+ to publish this" Why any man
should be ass enough to think we will
da what he wishes done more readily
if he accuses US Of cowardice than if
he makes his request courteously we
cannot understand. Of course a
communication that comes with that
insult is thrown in the waste basket
while if it had come unattended with
the insult it might have been pub
lished.
But such communications are prac-
tically all anonymous and it seems
strange that one who is afraid to dis
close his own identity should reflect
on the courage of another. But as a
matter of fact newspaper in refus-
ing to publish an anonymous contri-
button is generally afraid-not afraid
as a coward would be but afraid as
a lust man would be-afraid Of doing
an injustice. If any attack is made
on public official or any discussion
of public question is sent to news
paper office with no signature to in
dictate whence it came it is apt to be
unjust and is probably malicious.
When men hide there is a reason for
their hiding. A man who is doing
a public service has no reason for
concealment, he should be and gener-
ally is proud to acknowledge his work
The fact that he hides himself is a
sign that is almost a proof that he is
trying to get someone else to father
the falsehood that he is telling.
When a newspaper makes a charge
it desires to know that it is true.
Behind the newspaper there is man
who is not essentially different from
other men and any honorable man
would be unwilling to bring charge
against another without knowing it
was true.
And yet day by day men will con-
tinue to expect newspapers to do
what they are afraid to do, expect
them to take the word of man with
out knowing who he is, and on that
word to make charges that will dam
age a fellow man. What fools these
mortals Defines Union.

EDUCATING TIL EBODY.

A comparatively recent on inter-
esting development in education is
the increased interest in physical
training. This interest has gradu-

been augmented by the Y. M. c. A,
and various other organizations
which give considerable attention to
athletics.
The University of Illinois has re-
cognized the Importance of this ele-
ment in student life by inaugurating
a regular four-year course in athletic
