THE ATHENS (GEORGIAN: JUNE 2G, 1877. LET THE GIRLS ROMP. 4 i'lra for Ph)*lral Dnrlupmmt—Th. KtII» Exo-mbcSlid) and (hr Urk of tank [Chicago Tribnne.) Compare the form ami health hoy at sixteen with a girl of the age. Why shoufd the girl slender, so frail, and so The answer is plain. She Knot al lowed to use and thus develop her muscles and hones. Food* and exer- rise are the necessary terms of play ful growth. She geUt neither. Girls should use and devdktp every nc scle and every bontv4h:it will favor the circulation qf-'fhe Wood, remove old particles and deposit new in all their organs and tissues. They need not cry, hut they may laugh heartily at auy time and in any place proper for vdi of growth. The delight in! ex civ" so iias all the advantage of crying in inlancv. Mothers who are hh-ssed with daughters should begin early in life, when the muscles and bone are p ! i..ble, to train them. As soou as they begin to creep, teach rften. to ere. p “ on all fours,” and thus expand their lungs and strengthen their chests; teach them when their ribs are soft and yielding, “ Vo take a long breath” many times a day, and then, when they enter school, their teachers should continue the same exercises and others which have a tendency to develop the chest, containing the essential organ of life that creates vital lilood and drives it through all its rounds giving form and beauty to their persons. Gales-1 ;he ics will do more towards strength ening and enlarging their hones and their muscles, and dounoie towards making them useful women, than ail ♦lie modern languages of the world. Moderate cxer-ise of the muscles de velops and strengthens them; and so moderate exercise of tin* mental faculties cnl rges and strengthens them. Our girls should not be con fined to tin ir hooks more lban six hours in the twenly-f'mir. Exclusive Undying weakens the mind and the body. No people <>n the face of the earth do so much towards enfeebling ooltfasjhe Americans. We'do not to um lri 1 ' . .7' Wehmvncate it; but wo do object to the Vcrv common neglect of develop- | * »ng the body. Muscles and hones never grow stronger by indolence or disuse. How unwise to sacrifice the tiealih of the body to the cramming of the mind. Develop them both. Give girls a sound body and a sound mind. What are many of our well- educated girls good for? Feeble, sickly bodies, with weaker brains! Gills need nutritious food and coin* slant exercise to change that f< od to vigor and strength. To obtain the greatest amount of good from food and exercise, they must begin eai ly. It is rather late in the dav to improve a house when it lias no firm founda- dation, when its brick and mortar are Silling into decay. A physician may do something towards lessening the ten’s Part in Home-Mak ing. Most of the preachments we have seen from . the text of happy homes have been aimed at the women. Most tnen seem to think they havy little to do in creating an 11 at-inos- 80 phere of home.’’ Their forte lies in ased?- bieathing and enjoying tin* atmos phere after somebody else has made* it. Men are too busy, too much preoccupied, too impasient and thoughtless, and—it must he said of Some of them—too selfish to do their fair share of that preeminently mil lennial work, the creating of a happy home, wherein love reigns supreme, and amiability, affection, cheerful ness, joy ami peace are the natural conditions of family life. Now, in certain things man lias been a constitutional shirk, from the lime of Adam—if the scientific gen tlemen have left ns any Adam— down to this day. Men will fight for their homes, and make slaves of themselves to their business to main tain them; but like the proverbial man who would die for a woman, but never would bring up a scuttle of coal, they can’t tell what their chil dren are studying at school, who their mates arc, what they are learn ing of good or evil, nor hardly any thing else that a father ought to know concerning his offspring. But we maintain that a man who hasn’t time to he a father to his children, with all that includes, has no right to have any. He wrongs them, robs himself, puts an unjust responsibility upon the mother, and neglects his highest duties, human and divine. 'I here are so many ways in which a father may contribute to a happy home life, that it seems strange the number of houses should so greatly exceed the hemes. It takes so little to make children happy at home that it is a wondrous pity so many little ones are miserable, or uneasy, or discontented. If for an hour after 1he evening un-al the father should give him.-elf to his children, would the knottier wear j out so fast, or the chiUren be so lawless, troiiblcif****- , Jt v • , ,1. tv nat a imnis- anojuiifointortalile, , . . —bo! 11 parties is a pap'i’S frolic with the babies! What an interest is added to the hook, the drawings, the games, or even the studies, if father enters into them! How much it lightens the drudgery of piano practice lbr the daughter if papa calls for and praises her efforts! It is strange that with such sweet companionship, such pure affection, such unselfish enjoyment, such nat ural happiness, as maybe- bad with the children, nun do not give more time to their homes. We hardly need say that a man should set the example for the fotrily in patience, cheerfulness, courtesy, forbearance, and all the amiable moods and graces that are the sou! of borne happiness.
