The Making of Acrobat Begin at an Early Age It Is nothing unnsnnl for the larger circuses to carry thirty and forty chil dren, rnnfrlng nil the way from mere babies to boys and girls or nTteen anu sixteen years of age. The majwdty are traveling with tbeir parents, both the father and mother doing dally onty lu the ring, nnd whllc-often they lire trained to follow In the steps of their elders they are seldom allowed to pr- form In public. It Is a common belief among circus men that the performer whose training Is not started until after the age of aU will seldom make a distinctive record. Following the afternoon show I often saw groups of boys, some of wboj could not have beeu over four and fiw years old, practicing nidlmeutary som ersault and hand springs, while t!'lr parents looked on with a gratifies mile. These were the families or the circus aristocracy, who treasure the records of their ancestors with Ihe pride of a son In his father's sword and who see no more Inspiring calling Tor their own children than that of ;he groat white canvas. Not that their education Is neglected In other respects. Several of the fami lies often hire an Instructor perhaps one of the performers who has tho time aud ability for such work to coach their children In the standard studies. One circus has a traveling school for the youugsters. If they are to bo acrobats, they are to be educated acrobats. Bohemian Magazine. A Spong That Works.
