PHYSICAL TRAINING OF YOUTH
♦ LORD BADEN-POWELL OBJECTS TO “REGIMENTATION” (Received June 4, 8.11 p.m.) LONDON, June 4. Lord Baden-Powell, at a dinner of the 1900 Club, attacked the physical regimentation of youth. “There is no reason for gymnasia,” he said. “The finest men I ever met had had no gymnasia, but plain food and olenty of outdoor oxorciso. “We are trying to inflict physical training on poor boys who are not very well fed. It is not the right way to develop a strong, healthy nation.”
