Naismith Adopts Plan of Developing Students' Physique
Members of Gym Classes Take Examinations and Are Then Placed in Groups
"How should the physical power of the youth of the university best be developed in keeping with the intellectual development?" For the past twenty years Dr. James Nsmith and his assistants have been working to develop a system has been adopted which is believed to be a solution.
According to the new system, all men enrolled in the gym classes are given an examination as to their physical development at the beginning of their training. They are placed in one of two groups according to their need for further development. Forty-two per cent has been set to the point of division and those who are rated under this mark are placed in a class with more effort and an offer to raise this percentage. Those rated above do such work as will keep their physical development above this percent and will also aid in the development of their gross motor skills and the body. This work consists of games and recreative sports.
Students Pleased With Groups
"It might be thought that all would like to be in the second class, but such is not the case for the students whose physical development is rated below forty-two percent, realizes that his need is to increase this percentage, and thus he is glad for the opportunity to do so," said Dr. Smith.
"It is surprising to note that such a low figure is forty-two percent is the dividing point, but the ratings run as low as six percent and the greatest number are found between thirty and sixty percent," he continued. While two were rated at eight, two also were rated at thirty-seven, the higher development found those examined this year.
Football Players Rate High
The advantages of this system may be seen in the examinations of the athletes in the major sports, according to Doctor Nalsmith. All football teams have a high percentage. However, it is off-found that among the track and basketball men, the rating is quite low for these sports tend to tear down the physical development. Whites do not participate in these do not have high physical development.
In commenting on the success and future of the system, Doctor Nai-smith said, "The success of the plan may be judged by the fact that those who feel they need the development are asking for the chances to succeed." The proper spirit is being demonstrated, even exceeding our expectations.

New Chorus at High Point
Another Shipment of Books Have Arrived
"The interest in the great Messiah chorus that is being organized, is still at high point," said Dean Swarthot this morning. "Enclosures are still coming in. Tomorrow evening at the Memorial High School auditorium will be the third rehearsal, and those who have not been there before have a desire to affiliate with this great musical project, will be given an opportunity to join.
"Another shipment of books has arrived, and it is hoped that the third and last shipment will come in. I hope we can rehear tomorrow night. So great has been the demand for copies that the Kansas City musical house has not been able to supply the order, or sent to Boston direct for our own needs."
"Some splendid singing was done last week on some three or four of the great choruses. Each meeting now will see something very definite accomplished. The rehearsals close prompt at 9."
