The knowledge of nature which every country boy ab- Sorbs from the pastures, the cultivated fields, the woods, the gardens and the roads is denied the city child, except for his occasional visits to one of the outlying parks or a rare vacation in the country. To provide a substitute for the natural physical development of the country boy the Public Schools Athletic League was formed and has for Several years performed most valuable work. treet: street; In height, weight and chest measure the average city boy falls below fhe average country boy. The difference between the city girl and the country girl is not so great becaus? many country girls do not take the outdoor exercise that they should. Without adequate physical development, mental instruction to a great extent is wasted. A sickly child in exceptional cases attains an unusual mental development, but in general bad health means poor schol- arship, and a weak body is accompanied by an ineffective mind. The mere supplying of gymnasiums and exercise grounds in connec- tion with the public schools is not sufficient to bring about physical de- velopment, because gymnasium and other mechanical exer unaccom- panied with competition speedily becomes drudgery. And no indoor exer- cise does the good of outdoor competitive play. The result of the Public Schools Athletic League's work has been to develop the physique of the school children, to improve their morals and to increase their mental aptitude. The proportion of vicious or recalcitrant children has dimin- fShed. Loss of attendance through sickness has been lessened. The Spirit of emulation developed wholesome athletic contests has ex- tended to increased interes fes and to greater learning. The children of to-day are the future of New York. That the future New York may have sound lungs, qui Athletic League will help. ~ Letters from the People. axcept the words “Lon- ‘There have been carce o ieee have seen when people wer on fire escapes.
