I It is to be r'cijre'tted that the in- "
clement weather of -the ,pust. three'

PHYSICAL TRAINING
IS IMPERATIVE
Chicago, Dec. 14. Fifty per cent
of the 25.000,000 boys and girls of
school age hnve physical defects that
impede nefnial development, Williard
S. Small. School Hygiene specialist
of the Federal Bureau of Education,
suld ln an address today before the
American Public Health Association.
After declaring that the nut Ion's
need of "physical educntlon" is Im
perative, the speaker pointed out that
2,000,000 men In the llrst draft were
disqualified for active military ser
vice because of'physlcal defects, und
added :
"Being unfit for military service,
they were therefore unfit to render
full service In any capacity. They
were unable to get full returns from
life in work and happiness."
The physical education needed
must assume physical activity as tbo
bsslc thing, the speaker added.
There must be wholeaome physical
environment. Individual physical tx
amlnation and record, aud medical
supervision of schools.
."It should provide for all persons
between alx and eighteen years of age
"hftuld benellt. to youth
above the compulsory school ag. R
should provide federal aid to permit
states to carry on effective systems of
physical education. This federal aid
should be limited to preparation of
teachers for skilled service und pay
ment for sklllPd service.
"The progrum proposed will raise
the positive coefficient of the physi
cal life of the nation. It will build
molality upon the solid foundation
of physical soundness and vitality,
will be a powerful influence in Am
rerlcanlzutlon."
