Lack of proper physical training has made the ordinary American unfit for military duty, declares Prof. Dudley A. Sargent, director of the Hemenwsy Gymnasium of Harvard, in. a state ment made public today. Dr. Sar gent in part says: . "Our forefathers ' were pioneers, men of. hardihood, courage and in domitable will, used to a wholesome mingling of mental, moral and phy sical hardships and trials. Since then fitie paths have grown easier and weaker stock has followed in the trails blazed by the strong. 4 ; "Love of country, manly vigor and the spirit of co-operation are not too plentiful.,. No people living under the trying conditions of our complex mod ern life can, in any considerable pro portion, withstand the hardships of modern warfare, to say nothing of rendering service, unless dt pays con siderable attention to counteracting the devitalizing and overspecializing tendencies of modern, working and living conditions. "Our moral courage lacks the stim ulus derived from the practice of manly sports the only real and su perior substitute for the stimulus of war. -.- ' "Physically, the public schools have not done their duty' to ' the children whose development and welfare, and tfrlat of the nation, lies in their hands. Even the colleges, to which we must look for the material for the greater number of our officers, are so con tracted in their views of education as to ignore the necessity for adequate compulsory .physical education of the bulk of the student body, while en couraging overdevelopment and de structive spoteisEzation in tihle ath letic few." , j When to Take Chamberlain's Tablets When you feel dull and stupid after eating. - - When constipated or billions.
