SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C. A. l.. Reed

YOUR child, IL he goes to school,
has probably had a test to
determine his mental appetite. He
may likewise have had an exam
ination to determine his physical
capability. These tests are now
being conducted in all progressive
centers in America. Either test
without the other comprises an in
complete survey of the individual
case. And NATURALIZATION Of the
pupil, as far as may be consistent
with the mass problem in hand,
is the keynote OF modern educa-
tionaI progress.
Investigations of differences
among boys of measurement
tests (anthropometry), coupled
with various physiological tests
are g. necessity. This Is true if
physical training Is ever to rank
equally with class teaching in CIV
ing scope to those qualities which
make up individuality. They are
imperative il we are intelligently
to assist in helping to develop
individual excellences or qualities.
Although body measurements have
been principally considered In re-
lation to physical fitness, they are
also distinctly related to mental
activity and to the capacity TO
withstand and recover from men,
tai strain in school life.
Only periodic and sytematic
measurements of physical and
mental growth will make it posi-
BILE to Judge the effect of mental
concentration either on the boys
present growth or his future fit
ness for civic life. Class work In
school calls for activity of the
same bodily organs and to some
extent the same tissues as does
physical exercise, though in diff
ferent degree.
without the activity OF the
bodily organs neither the food ma
terial necessary for nervous action
nor the mechanism required for
removal of waste material would
be available.
Although undue absorption in
either mental or physical activity,
according to MumfOrd, involves
damage to the powers thus over
stimulated, and serious underde-
velopment of the other powers
thereby neglected, yet within
reasonable limits, proper exercise
of physical powers is not only
compatible with but actually bene-
fetal to the cultivation Of mental
powers.
Mumford, by his measurements
and observations, studied three
hundred boys who, during the last
twenty years, had gained entrance
scholarships to a university. This
group naturally contained a high
proportion OF the most intellectu'
ally able boys in the school. These
boys were found to have grown
slightly faster while at school
than the average boy. They like
wise were found to have slightly
fuller breathing capacity. This
applied particularly to those win
ring firstclass honors. 1t shows
that they did their work with
less strain simply because they
had better bodies.
