OF COLBY ON COMPETITIVE
ATHLETICS IN COLLEGES

Guests OF honor were Homer n.
Chase OF Auburn, James r. Raye of
Mt. Holly. y. j.. and Mike J. Ryan
track coach at Colby College.
Everett G. Wardwell gave a talk
on Education in Rotary" Nine
members OF the club spoke on their
greatest problems in business. they
were unanimous in the Opinion that
the greatest problems are the trans
portation problem and the help
problem. The transportation prob
lem il a difficult one on account Of
the ineficiency OF the transporta-
ton companies and the difficulties i'll
the help problem arise from the diff.
ficulty OF getting an equivalent help
efficiency with the increase iii wages.
Mike Ryan, track coach at Colby,
/ then spoke on competitive Athlet-
les"
He called attention to the differ
cnce between competitive athletics
and physical training. which is
! sometimes referred to as athletics.
| Physical training is carried on in
doors by individuals working for the
most part on apparatus. he said.
1T has not the value that competi-
| l. t1t; L.,
contest at stake and no team play.
Competitive athletics, namely. track.
/ football baseball, boxing. is carried
| on out-of-doors in the fresh air.
! There is contest at stake. and the
men are required to give their best
efforts both mentally and physi-
Cally."
| The speaker pointed out that ply
steal training was fostered by the
Germans. Austrians and Swcdes and
in the last war such training proved
/ OF no avail, pitted against men who
| had been trained in the line of COM
petitiNe athletics. competitive ath-
! letics develops character. self reli-
ance, mental and physical effort and
II gives the individual the ability to
i forget self and submit to discipline,
team play and corporation"
! He said that we have heard from
! time to time in the hast generation
of Americas woeful lack in the mat
! ter of national defense, and there
have been many advocates of univer-
sal military training. He pointed
out that nearly 90 per cent of our
| national budget was expended to pay
| for past wars and in preparation for
e., future wars. I'm my mind such a
large expenditure is unnecessary. as

tails of the business and swung into
line with the activities in short
space of time. She has taken entire
charge of the office since her coming,
doing all the clerical work in addition
to her other duties.
"Soon after the present officers
were elected and assumed office, one
of the important things brought to
their attention was that the drive
for the Sisters Hospital was tagging
and had been for several months.
They took the matter in hand and
raised forty thousand dollars toward
the hospital fund. This hospital will
be a great acquisition to Wateryille
and will place the city in the front
rank as far as hospital facilities are
concerned. This will fill one of the
greatest needs of the city. From a
total capacity of f1fty-five beds in
two small hospitals, there will be one
hundred beds in the new hospital,
with every possible convenience. The
building will be of brick and granite,
absolutely fire proof and will have
elevators, laboratory facilities. sun
porches, modern laundry and
kitchen and everything else that is
demanded by the modern hospital.
There will Ne four operating rooms,
a complete X-ray department and a
pharmacy. The old fashioned ward
will be done away with, the largest
number of beds in any one room will
be two thus eliminating any danger
of infection. There will be a large
number of private rooms with private
baths. in fact every need of the COM
munity will be taken care Of The
hospital will mean increased business
for Watervlle and employment for
about 100 people 1t is splendid ad
dition to the city and a credit not
only to Waterville and the Cham

in putting the proposition over. but
is also a distinct asset to the sur

serves as a community center.
"The Employment Bureau OF the
Chamber has been especially active
this summer. averaging over one
person a day calling for employment
outside of the floating population,
which travels from place to place
seeking work. and which increases
the number of calls by scores. BY
actual count $50 persons have regis
tered for positions and about so ger
cent of these have been placed where
their work was more or less perman-

IF there was no work listed an ef-
fort has been made by the secretary
to find work that was suited to the
capabilities of the seeker and has
met with very good success in this
endeavor. Several persons have been
placed on more than one job. thus

"At the beginning Of the year the
directors felt that the Chamber was
paying out too much money in salaries,

therefore decided to dispense with the
