4 THE MUSSUL UNSQLTIT the exams and very often do not get hy, then. Vrihlning also gives the hook a had appearance. liven if the writing is eventu- ally erased it leaves the dirty, telltale traces, which should not he there. Ike say our hooks get out of style, Of eourse they do hut the new ones as well as the old are defaeed. unmercifully. Many hooks are lost through carelessness. They are left at the postolliee. at some store. or perhaps on the athletic tield. Vtfhy for- get them? If we do not intend to study them why take them from the school- huilding? Then let each one of us appoint himself as a committee of one to take individual care of our share of the hooks which are intended to help ns in our High school careers. YOUTH AND PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY XYlil.l. hody is one of the most im- portant essentials for a well mind. Last fall when National lidueation Week was ohserved throughout the United States the lirst day was set aside as l'hysical lfdu- cation Day. lly physical education we not only mean the training of the hody. hut also the training of the youth's nlind as to the proper care of the hody. l.et us look hack for a moment at the his- tory of tireece. Those ancients worshiped physical heautyg heautiful women were as famous as their greatest men. They like- wise worshiped physical strength: their great athletic events testify to that. All Greek sculpture represents strength and heauty. Vrohahly most of you rememher from your study of ancient history some- thing ahout the .Xthenians and Spartans. The pride of a youth of either of those famous peoples was to develop his hody to the utmost. ln those days there were no swift methods of communication as we have to-day. and so messages had to he carried hy messengers. lt was not uncommon for an Athenian youth to run twenty-tive miles without stopping. and as one Greek legend tells us that after the hattle of Marathon the news was carried to Athens, many miles distant, and the messenger upon delivering the message fell dead. The Marathon runs of to-day are a redevelopment of the olfl Grecian sports. The greatest cost of industry is man power. The future of our nation depends upon our youths. Children are naturally huhhling over with energy and a hoy with- out a place to play is like a man without a joh. Play is a child's serious husiuess and the right sort of play should he afforded children, as character is moulded to a con- siderahle degree in childhood. It is our duty to look after the welfare of children. We should make it easy for them to do right and difficult to do wrong. 'I
