NO, 17,088, THE WORLD'S FIELD DAYS. NE HUNDRED aihletic field day with over 20,000 contestants, is The Sunday World’s contribution to the New York Public Schools Athletic League. Begun in 1906, these competi-| tions have been increasing in num- | ber and interest. The first year! 2,000 Sunday World medals were} awarded. Last year all the hundred | schools were represented by their / best young athletes, and the prizes | ‘were gold, silver and bronze Sun. | day World medals. This year 120 grammar schools of Greater New| York have applied for the privilege of Sunday World field days. Each school this year receives an allotment of twenty-two Sunday World medals and a silk banner as a prize to the class whose representa- | } tives in the games score the most points. | At the sixty field days already held the contestants numbered at each | from 100 to 500 grammar school boys. The average number was 250. | The entire school witnesses the sports, and the officers of the field days are the principals and teachers and the representatives from the Public Schools Athletic League. The programme is individual and team racing, jumping and weight throwing. The boys are divided into classes according to their weight, | 80 pounds, 95 pounds, 115 pounds and heavyweight. The weight classi- | fication has been found to work better than by age or scholarship. | If the school boys of New York lived in the country and had to do chores before breakfast and after school; if they had to work in the fields Saturdays and help with the men in potato planting and haying, there would be no need for public play grounds, for children’s parks and for athletic fields in which they could take exercise. - If the boys of New York are to be developed physically as well as mentally—and mental development is of little value without physical health—there must be adequate provision for wholsome sport and health- ful exercise. If a boy’s mind is active, his body will be active, too. If whole- some activity is not provided he will devise other forms of activity which | are not good for either him or the community. The competitive out- door games develop a sense of fairness and of beneficial strife and com- petition, as well as expanding the lungs, Strengthening the muscles, im- proving the digestion and preparing a sound body for good citizenship. The medical researches into the causes which create young crim- inals tend more and more to attrib- ute mental defects to physical defi- clencies. The Sun World is doing its best in providing the medals for ¢ the grammar school competition.

But he was ‘( born in Vermont; nor did he come to New York City until he wae | twenty-three. His father was a clergyman, Chester was the eldest of his nine children. Clergymen’s salaries in those days were small, jand the Arthur family wa; large. Life waa not always pleasant for the |future President nor education easy to acquire. Yet he managed to enter the sophomore class at Union College in 1845, when he was only fifteen. There he showed first the wonderful qualities of popularity a personal magnetism that were later to help so greatly in making him a_ political leader. He worked his way through college by teaching school aur months and by giving lessons in penmanship. At one district academy he met with an adventure much like that which marked Gar: teacher. Arthur wrote of this in later years as follows “My school commenced. It was composed of motley races of braty \* * There was but one battle. A strong farmer's boy endeavored to | overthrow your humble servant, and his autho! t But, thanks to agility and gymnastic practice, th : the | teacher.” At elghteen, Arthur was graduated from c of law, eking out a Iving meantime as tut lege and as sch he moved to New York and ente as he was admitted to the b: dered from State to State look practise his profession.

This decision forced all loc | accept negroes as passengers. It also did much to est jas a shrewd lawyer. | Soon after the outbreak of the civil war Arthur was appointed Qu: master-General for New York. On him rested the duty of proj ping and forwarding to the front the State's q a of troons. hard, but Arthur accomplished {t with a brillianey and th | won universal praise. As Inspector-General (with 1 er-General), in 1862, he did equally valuable servi avin n the last day of that year he went back to his New York law p: For ten years he was prominent not only as a lawyer but as a Republican ucal leader. He belonged to the “Stalwart” wing of his party and was |an ardent Grant man. | Appointed Collector of the Port of New York in 1871, he brought to his | new duties the same thoroughness and abuity that had marked ts military career. President Hayes, in 1878, removed him from office, in spite of an almost general protest. An investigation of his work as Collector was or- dered. This !nquiry served merely to prove Arthur's splendid ability and honesty in the high position. The Republican convention of 1880 nominated him for Vice-President. In that office he exerted his influence for Conkling and the other “Stalwarts’” {n their opposition to Garfield. The latter's un- timely death on Sept. 19, 1881, put an end to the clash. On Sept. 20, Arthur | privately took the Presidential oath in his home at No. 123 Lexington ave- nue, New York, and went at once to Washington, where the oath was again administered. Arthur's three and a half years in the White House were marked by no especially memorable historic features. He was a dignified, polished President and performed his state duties conscientiously. He opposed public extravagance and acted with wise firmness in regard to the Indian question and the sup- pressing of polygamy among the Mormons. During his administration the price of letter postage was lowered. from three to two cents, and other important postal im- | provements were made. In 1884, at the Republican convention, his name was brought forward for re-nomination. But on the fourth ballot James G.
