US Children In 'Sad Shape'
NEW YORK—(U.P.)—One feminine authority says that unless we build up our physical fitness we soon will be in sad shape—literally.
Bonnie Prudden, director of the Institute for Physical Fitness, recently reported to the White House on the results of extensive tests she had made of fitness of children in this country and Europe.
She said the study involved six basic muscle tests, and was used to show the difference between children who are ill and those who are healthy enough to participate in average daily chores.
Blames Parents
Only eight and one-half per cent of the European youngsters failed the tests; more than 56 per cent of the children in this country funked.
Miss Prudden, who away from her professional life is Mrs. Ruth Hirschland and the mother of two, blames parents for letting children grow up without muscle.
"Parents are forever shouting 'no, no,' when a child wants to climb a tree, ride a horse or show normal interest in other active sports," she said.
"From the very beginning, children are shoved into playpans, ridden around in super-market carts, and when they reach school age, are taken to class in a bus," she complained.
"And when children should be hiking or ice-skating, they are sitting in the living room watching a baseball game on television," she said.
Bus An Enemy
She called the school bus the child's,"worst enemy."Back in the "good old days" of exercise, children walked to school and grew up into healthier specimens for it, she said.
She quoted one military man as saying that during the Korean war, American soldiers "died like bees" on "death marches," while European and Asiatic prisoners survived because they had been trained for endurance from childhood.
Sore Throat Causes Rheumatic Fever
URBANA, Ill —(U,P).— Prompt treatment of nose and throat infections can be an important factor in preventing rheumatic fever, says a health education specialist, University of Illinois.
Pauline Brimhaili said most medical authorities agree that the first and later attacks of rheumatic fever are brought on by "strep" infections, such as tonsilitis and scarlet fever. Any sore throat, she cautioned, that lasts for more than a day or two is not an ordinary sore throat and should be treated promptly to ward off the possibility of rheumatic fever.

Doctor Decries Lack Of Latin Teachers
VERMILLION, S.D.—(U.P.) Twenty thousand Latin teachers in the United States are not nearly enough to meet the demand, according to Dr. Grace L. Beede, head of Latin and Greek at the University of South Dakota.
She said there are 140 Latin teacher vacancies in the South Dakota but only 10 Latin majors in the state. Miss Beede is collecting data on the status of Latin in South Dakota for the American Philological Association's committee on educational training.
