A friend whose factory is not far

It was aoon discovered that the ani

meet the people on their way to buai

A closer alliance between public
and private charities must be se
ured. If the public authorities con-
tinue to administer outdoor relief
-they ought to be in constant com
munication with the private agencies
-engaged in the same work. There is
no reason why there should not be
hearty . co-operation between the
overseers of the poor and the agents
and visitors of the benevolent so
cieties. The lack of such co-operation
is one of the gaps through which
mendicancy creeps in. Kev. Wash

A society was organized in New

the encouragement of American
woolens. The rules of the society
forbade eating lambor mutton or the

Dr. Banrent eetimates that the pur-
nit of outdoor sports is limited to
Tjrobablr leas than 1 per cent, of our
rigorous young men. Even among
the members of athletic organiza
tions only 10 pi-r cent, are really ac
tive. .Dr. Sargent attributes the in
creasing lack of interest to the grow
ing tekdenry among Americans, as a
people, to pursue spon as au euu m
itself rawer uian as a means to au
end. In making excellence in the
achievement the primary object of
athletic exercises they are robbed ol
half their value in various waysfor
instance, by increasing the expenses
of training; by the devoting of too
much time to practice; by reducing
the number of active competitors;
by relying upon natural resources
rather than on cuinvateu mawruu;
by depriving the nonathlebo indi 1
Tidual of incentive to physical exer
tions; by depriving the exercises ot
their efficiency as a means of health.
Dr. Sargent holds that' the harmo
nious development of the physique
and the building up and broadening
out of the highest types of manhood
and womanhood ought to offer In
ducement enough for each to work.
