If you don’t believe Professor F. B. McGee knows how to raise children, he has three —as fine as you ever saw—as proof, and all of them are strong 1 , healthy and muscular beyond the nor mal. And every one of them can put on a performance that would be a credit to a circus acrobat.

McGee and his l.itle son in two of the tot's physical culture training feats The weight the child is holding weighs fifty pounds. of physical culture for 21 years. He believes thal children must be strong to be successful in the battle of life. He believes also they will never grow as strong as they ought to unless their parents take them in hand. Here is the McGee system: "Start with your children when they are a month old. Too young, you say? Nonsense. Put your fingers out and the child will grab them. Pull him (for convenience well say he's a boy, though it works as well with a girl) up from a reclining position as far as he will hold on. Keep this up a few weeks, trying it a few minutes a day, and you will be able to pull lhe child up to a sitting posture. Hold It by Its Fingers. "If the child is healthy and normally strong, you can hold it in midair by its fingers by the time it is three months old. "Gradually teach the child other lit tle tricks. "For instance: Roll it around on the floor. "Pick it up by its feet." “Pick it up by its head. Don't let its mother see this going on at first or she'll call it murder. Do it gently and there's no danger. “Make it play wheelbarrow. "When my first child was three years old 1 bought him a tiny pair of dumb bells. By the time he was five he could swing them well enough to give exhi bitions. Club swinging is good if you know enough about it to teach the child, if you don't, try something else. Make Play of It. "The idea is to teach the children whatever you know best. "Be sure to make play of it. If the children regard It as work, they will get neither pleasure nor development out of it. Don't be too dignified to make a romp of it. If you can't get down on the floor and throw somersaults with the children it is time you learned." The McGee children are Impressive advertisements for the McGee physical culture system. The older ones, a boy and a girl, can do lots of circus stunts; can box like, professionals and are as hard as nails. The youngest, a little shaver no big ger than a pint of cider, can do more tricks than the average growp man. One is to stand on his feet, his hands and his head, with his little torso, "tummy" up, forming a perfect arch — which is “some trick" for the average grown man. Another is to stand erect on his father's hand, held high in air. His feature performance is the lifting of a 50-pound weight, of course he doesn’t actually lift it. But he seizes the weight and his father puts his hands under the baby's arms and locks them together on his chest. Then the father lifts, ami the baby, holding the weight, comes up, too. Sometimes for as long as a minute he holds the weight suspended. Then his fingers relax and it drops. That it is a real 50-pound weight the photographer will testify. He nearly broke his back trying to lift it. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1912. i €-3 Ji I ARMY ORDERS WASHINGTON, July 25.—Army or ders: First Lieutenant Thomas E.
