BY ETHEL BOWERS
Director of Physical Education,
Rrenau College.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. -tR- Physi-
cal education today means activity
with a definite purpose in view. in
contrast to several years ago when
IL meant only activity with little
thought TO educational values.
Now the influence of physical ed
u~cation reaches almost every phase
Of a child's life. The p~re-school
child's health and recreation are be-
ing supervised BY city. playground
and park officials. All during the
school life Of a child this training IL
provided for him. In school and out,
winter and summer. Under direc-
tion and con is own" the child il
developed into a strong healthy citi-
zen.
The modern young man Is train
ed in leadership and goes out into
the world better equipped physical
ly. And while the girl Of today has
the same femininity, attractiveness
and appeal, her body is better pre-
pared 10 meet the responsibilities
with which she is confronted. either
IN the business and professional
world or in the home as a wife and
mother. IL Is not unusual now 20
see young mothers engaged in both
home duties and a business career.
As an example of the modern
trend Of the educators, the word
"calisthenics" was not on the pro-
gram OF this years Southern Phys
ical Education convention in Allan
Ia. Instead the delegates devoted
themselves to discussion Of organ
lied sports, intra-mural competition,
play days, moderate sports for un-
der-privileged students and indus
trial recreation problems. They were
interested in Y. NJ. c. A. and Y. w.
G. a. programs, Boy Scout, Girl
Scout and Camp Fire Girls activi-
ties.
Two examples of the results of
this new type of physical training
are outstanding.
In Athens, Ga, the program pro-
vides that every grammar school
child be a leader Of his or her squad
for a month each rear from the
first grade 70 high school. After
SIX or seven years Of this training, a
boy or girl a manage a physical
education class better than the av-
erage grade teacher. I have watched
a group Of fifth grade girls carry
on a half hour lesson without a
teacher in sight and do it admirably.
This same s~elf-directed activity al
Brenau College * developing III
bic teachers, leaders and organizers.
The students carry on all their ex-
tra-curriculum activities without
faculty direction. Three major pro-
jects are included in the work each
year. a play day in the fall, a ten
act "Follies" in the winter and a
demonstration of physical educa-
ton in the spring.
This type of work is making bows
and girls masters of themselves and
leaders of men. No longer does a
pupil obey commands in a machine
like manner. Now he is a squad
leader r team captain, and as such,
must think Of himself. With such
opportunities to train for leadership.
with a well functioning body with
which to work and a keen mind u
direct the action. the young mar IL
young woman Of today Is an admir-
able citizen.

 Officially welcoming delegates to the Democrat Territorial Convention. which convened in Seward at o'clock this afternoon in Odd Fellows Hall, Mayor L. " Ray. in behalf of the cit izens of this city. extended the Key to Seward" during their brief stay. His speech, in It's entirety, follows:
 "Mr Chairman and gentlemen os the Territorial Democratic Conyen ton:
 It is my pleasure, my duty, and an esteemed privilege as Mayor of the City of Seward, to offieialS ex- tend to the Delegates of this conven- ton. sincere welcome from it's cit izens, and to extend to you severally the hopitality and courtesy of your neighboring residents of Alaska.
 Tt is apparant the time has arrived in the formation of policies for the future government of our Territory, that our political parties give serious consideration to the alarming en- croachments of centralized federal control.
 "It is, admit, something of unter- rified temerity in that a member of the Republican party, attempts to make suggestions to this honorable Convention and to it's members, in the application of principles so long patented and copyrighted by the Dem ocratic party. However, patriotism knows no party lines, and what is here stated is submitted for such con- sideration as you may deem worth while
 Governor Ritchie of Maryland says: We are all growing conscious of two startling movements in our life. On the one hand is growing con- tempt for government, on the other is a growing demand for more govern ment.'
 There is demand for law which will regulate our social activities and provide for a higher morality +
 Thus since the Charter of Mass achusetts, which was and is the first public document to use the phrase, a government of laws not of men, the establishment of multiple federal agencies with power to make and promulgate regulations which have the force and effect of law, at no time in our history has the destruc- tive effect been more apparent than in the Territory of Alaska.
 T refer in particular to the Board of Interdepartmental Control for Alas ka, and the federal control of Alaska revenues.

 That shows a friendly disposition and assures me that I will have the support of all of the people and with this support much can be accomplish :. cd for Alaska and without the SUD- port of the people I cannot accom- plish anything and do not care to be their representative.
