Physique

Howard Evans is the blunt headmaster of the Betteshanger School in Dover, England. Headmaster Evans believes in good bodies, declares that a man who develops a "monstrous girth" commits a social crime. Three weeks ago he debarked nine of his cheek-blown, beef-eating Betteshanger boys in Manhattan, had them show U. S. citizens proper methods of breathing and exercise. Last week, having seen as well as shown, Headmaster Evans prepared to ship his brood back to England, paused to observe that the average U. S. boy was superior in physique to the English boy. But he added a warning to both English-speaking nations. Far more fit than the boys of the U. S. and England, said he, are the boys of Italy.
