Little Walter Miller took the count last week for a rough ride on tiolnmnn, and is on the ground for a week. It is too bad that even the good jockeys cannot rido with suflieient judgment to keep out of the elutethes of tho not over strict officials. More than 200,000 school children are enrolled in the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, and at least 1,000 of these will start in a single raco in their coming meet, That is tho wav to do business. Athlcties in Ameriea at present nro given over too much to the perfect development of a few men, rather than tho general physical improvement of tho many. And of courso this is wrong. What college and school athletic associations should atrivo for—if they havo the greatest good of the greatest number at heart—is to interest as many ns possible in athletic work. The usual college system is all wrong. Much time and money is spent in developing a few men to compete with tho best men in other colleges. This results in interesting contests and is favored by most colleges, for a good athletic team of any kind is a good advertise ment But a football team which may possiblyJmtnrouT 40 men, a track team which brings nut a liku-ntmTher and a Imselml! team which probably iuterests a few less, makes a -vrry^small dent in the physical development of a college of two, three or four thousand men.

At~ Vanderbilt gymnasium work is compulsory, though it is such an easy matter to get excused from it that the ‘‘compulsory”, part is largely a joke. And so it goes iu the colleges of the country. Outdoor work ought to ho especially encouraged among school children and college men.
