“ HARTFORD. June ¢.—-The youth
of Connecticut. u of every other state
in the union. should'durlng his col—
legc years build up his body as well
as his mind. according to Dr. Horace
C. Swan. director-of physical educa-
tion at Trinity college. Trinity re-
quires four years of physical training
and the majority of students needs
everyblt of it. in the opinion of Dr.
Swan.
"l‘nloss at feet and flabby muscles
receive the some serious attention a.-
the mind of the students colleges are
shlrking their educational responsibil-
ities." says Dr. Swan.
Rtutistlcs prepared by the physical
director show that in u group of 99
men in the class of 1 only as
were in normal physical condition at
the time of entrance. Out of 68 men
in the class of 1920. h were suffering
trom defects requiring corrective
treatment. Some were organic cases.
but the majority were cases of flat
feet. weak chests. poor posture. finbhv
muscles and bad skint-all of which
were remedied by surperviscd physical
training.
“The draft board reports have
shown how prevalent are physical de-
fects on our youth and have made
picln the duty of our schools and roi—
legca." Dr. Swan said . "I look with
President Angeli of Yale to the time
when the whole college body will be
as well equipped physically as only
10 per cent. of the team then are to-
day. Physicar training is an import-
ant as any part of the curriculum.
and unless the student's body is de-
veloped as carefully as his mind. col-
leges are shirklng their responsibil-
ities. A balanced. all round develop-
ment is not possible otherwise."
Two years of gymnasium work and
two years of participation in outdoor
games and play are required at
Trinity. A physical examination de-
tel-mines the student’s condition and
the.physical training necessary to cor~
rect any defects.
