FRIDAY NIGHT

to Give Exhibition at Local
YIN. c. A.

Physical education was one of the
cornerstones on which the American
nation built her army. One of the
great factors of which, in short
time, 100000 civilians were
changed to able-bodied soldiers. By
the old method of physical educa-
ton, people retained a certain stiff
ness, whereas the new method, as
shown by the Y. M. c. A. physical
directors, develops ability. The diff
ference between these two methods
is illustrated by the difference
between dray horse and a
race horse. In the first instance a
Gray horses muscles which draw
continuously heavy loads, are slow
and dull, whereas the other, through
right training, attains the highest
speed an endurance. New methods
in conducting athletic games aids in
developing ones physical ability al
most without the person being aware
of it. Training in the old system was
done in a tiresome way against the
new system, which is life itself from
the beginning to the very end.
The exhibition TO be given at the
Z. M. c. A. on Friday night by the
Springfield College, future physical
directors will serve well 10 demon

and the new type of physical edu-
cation. The team gives thrilling
stunts and exercises on. the ap-
paratus, which requires strong mus
cles and are equally proficient in the
light ca1esthenic drills and athletic
dances which require quick thinking
and splendid coordination of the
muscles as well. This fine oppor-
tunity of seeing this high grade team
or gymnastics should not be missed
Rated as one of the greatest gym
