Publisher Description: It has been our good fortune to find the fountain of youth lurking in the out-door pleasures of Skating, Swimming, Rowing, Horseback Riding, Tennis, Base Ball and Cricket. The "grown-up" folk are now engaged in utilizing the discovery made by youth thousands of years ago, that health and happiness depend upon their innocent amusements. College Faculties have realized that the morals of youth as well as success in after life, depend upon the good health engendered by competitive pastimes. The strength of a nation lies in the correct training of the young. "England's great victories on land and sea were won by the men, who when boys wielded a cricket bat, pulled an oar, or kicked the foot ball." America too has had her conflicts, and may have others. |
