I Iltypsict Education. n an artie college education the Phii ladelphia I-dyer has the following rematrks But it is physical education in which our colleges have chiefly been so much behind the requiremen's of th,: uge. Ile who for four years, while the body is growing and the frame con.soliditing, nwul-ets entirely tie pro per training akd development of the phy-ical systein will rarely become a true ian among men. In England, the wild sports of rowing, cricket, shooting, skating and fishing are so generally pursued, that the sys:end of eIu catten which have grown ui) there have not had to provide, but to limit these exerciseq. Ye even there, such a man as Lord John Russell has to Stand aside and play second to the blustering Lord Palmerston, alno.4t en tirely because the latter is a better physically K educated man, while the former is only meta physical. It has of late years become almost it proverb at Oxford, that the be.t rowers and wt estlerA and riders make also the best schol ars and strongest thinkers. In this country it often happens that sone of our most industrious college .tudents are tall, thin youths, who have all their live.< been used to work hard, physically, as their par ents were, before them. They have studiest to tnake up and a determination to beat, from a real inward thirst after knowledge, as well l as frin the thirst for distinction. If, by sotne lucky accident, these young men are forced c to fake exercise enough, either to earn a part d of their living or to walk to their hoarding e houses, they will and d.) make the very finest u .<eholars in their class and of their age-the a men of greatest gra-p of mind, retention of 1 tmetiory and per.itency of purpose. D'ut in niine cases out of ten they break themselves down by want of phyical exercise and devel opment before they are half through their t course. V At Amherst College, they have now a pro- ti fessor whose whole time and attention ate de- t voted to the physical exercise of each chiss. o They are drilled and marched in military i fishion.
