It's attention. formed thu basis OF an
xa-np before tho weekly meeting on
Because II holds Illuminating infor-
,ject the address Is published IN fuil-
80 often on the subject Of the boys
food to overcome tho waste that his
body has made while at play and
make him take plenty OF sleep IN n
good cool room. There - nothing
that VIII develop that young body bet
ter than this. Should anything 20
wrong, have II corrected and don't
stop tho progress of that wonderful
body God has given him to make and
keep strong and healthy.
The Importance OF this work has
long been realized by the great edu-
caters of tho country and they have
deemed 1T necessary to mako physical
culture a very vital part Of the educa-
ton Of the boy. That Is the reason
that they have supported everything
IN the sport line and that Is the rea-
ro1 they arc turning out men who
have a wonderful body as well as a
wonderful mind every e
one thing might be said hero.
While seceiving his physical training
Tho boy must also be Impressed with
tie value OF his mental training. They
arc equally important. He nus not
DO led to believe that because he has
made great strides along certain
lines of abilities hat It will carry him
through life as II should, and that
kicking a goal or making a touchdown
or winning a race VIII make a real
man of him. From his neck up a
man is worth anything hat no cares
to make II hut from his neck down
he Is worth only what his body can
accomplish In actual hard manual Ia
Dor.
1T Is tho opinion OF the greatest
authorities of the country that the
greatest form OF exercise in physical
development is swimming. This Is
true. For this reason I would like to
ask that the committee in charge OF
this particular fern Of diversion keep
active so that when tho summer
months come nlrug tho boys OF this
community will have a good place tc
go. A good start has been made and
I believe with a little more work the
place that has been started can be
made into a real pool which will prove
to be both beneficial and enjoyable for
the youngsters.
THE encouragement which those ir
authority have given &c basketball
shouli have our fullest cooperation
n better attendance at these game,
would make It a great Leal more at
tractive for kids and make them worl
harder. 1t is n wonderful form OF exer
else and causes him to use every par
Of his body. Football Is one of tn,
greatest games there is to develop al
that Is good in him and I do hop
that this club will continue to Civ
1t the hearty support hat IL has dom
in the past for none of you have seer
It as / nave and know what it mean
to these kids to have the men OF tn
city back of them both financially an
otherwise.
And so It is with all the thing
that have 10 do with the physical de
velopment of the boy. You are Civ
ing your loyal support in everything
for the mental development of the DO,
but 1t is up to you personally to Sc,
that these kids hnv the requirement.
necessary for the training of an equal
iy vital part of his life-his physica
makeup. Guidance in this training Il
as important as guidance in study re
celved al school.
1T would recommend that tho com
mittees on the different lines of worl
get busy. even now. for skating
