christened one of two destroyer

through lemon grove and literally
hundreds of these lemons-the
Philippine variety that Is as big as
our oranges-came floating down
the stream. With their vitamins
and acid, they we're just what was
needed for those suffering from
diet deficiency. A group of us began
to gather them.
But we had reckoned without the
Crown Prince of Swat. Hosume and
his minions were upon us at once,
slapping and cutting us about, and
emitting streak of imprecations.
The japanese. 1t seemed, did not
like lemons, so we were not to have
them. This statement, Of course,
does not make sense, but 1t was the
only reason ever given. Neither
were we allowed to have any of
the other fruits and vegetables
which grew in profusion throughout
the prison farm, except those which
we could steal. Needless to say,
most of us soon became adept at
thievery, particularly those of us
who were strong enough to 60 on
work details at some distance from
the camp. At the grave risk of
being caught we made every effort
to smuggle in enough fruit and
vegetables for those who were too
weak TO steal for themselves.

SELECT EDITORIAL.
MISLEADING IMPRESSION
nauictnun -Neucl

The fact that The Associated Press and five high school coaches of the
state select al an-state mythical football eleven from the ranks of Big
Five conference teams is misleading. 1t suggests that the only good players
in Montana re on those five teams. And that is far from the truth.
Missoula, Butte, Helena, Great Falls and Billings aren't the only schools
where good athletes are trained. If they would call their selection the
Big Five al-conference team, we could agree, but they arr taking in too
big a territory when they call it an an-state team. That is like the Big
Ten conference calling its mythical selections an all-Midwestern team,
which it couldn't be and which it doesn't do.

CAN WE MAKE BETTER BODIES?

Americans are the best-fed, best cared-for people in the
world. Still, out of the first 100000 young citizens taken for
selective service, almost 100000 were rejected, a great majority
for physical disability. This sounds like a paradox in the wealth.
lest and supposedly the healthiest nation in the world. But these
are the facts.
And what can we do about it? Somewhere along the line
we have missed the boat in physical education. Many of our
school men have known this for years. Now, it is beginning to
be realized by the public generally.
Here in Montana, one group of men, members of Kiwanis
clubs in the state, propose to make a beginning on the problem
with the hope that every child will get an "even break physic-
ally-just as important in the battle of everyday life as it is on
the war fronts.
Montana has had a law on its books for some years pro-
viding for a state supervisor of physical education in the state
department of public instruction. But it has never had one, be-
cause no appropriation was made for the office. The state has
no course of study in physical education and in our schools are
comparatively few instructors fully qualified to take care of
this department. Montana Kiwanians have formed a committee
of prominent professional men and legislators and hope to secure
an appropriation that will bring us a statewide school physical
education program in fact, rather than on paper.
Physical education" is a misnomer. Nobody wants it to mean
just a series of setting up exercises for boys or girls Each child's
physical capabilities and disabilities should be known and cor
receive work done at an early school age, partly as a school re-
sponsibilty and partly as the parents, The physical record
should become permanent in the school files, just as the record
of marks is now.
Few realize how frequently a chnds physical condition
effects his school work. Here, for example, is the little boy who
had measles in the third grade. His hearing was impaired. His
third grade teacher knew about it, made allowances and gave
him help. Next year, in the next grade, nobody knew anything
about it and before long this boy unjustly bore the reputation
of a mentally subnormal student. His development was set back
for several years before the situation was righted. Such a thing
would not have happened with a permanent physical record.
Physical education implies much more than just exercise. 1t
means corrective work, proper diet, knowledge of an individual
pupils problems and steps taken to solve them. If we can do
some of these things, even get a start, a small state appropria-I
ton will be a mighty good investment in healthier youth.
