President Kennedy has become concerned about the wellbeing of our youth and has appointed a Council on Youth Fitness. Many newspapers are discussing this problem in editorials with headings such as “Physical Un-fitness—At National Disgrace,” “The Age of No Muscles.” Surveys and studies have revealed some terribly disturbing things, such as:
1. Over ninety % of our elementary faculties haven’t any
gymnasiums. 25th Edition for Women could be a fresh, white floral bouquet that blends sheer petals with heat, musky woods to form a soft and deep feminine character.
2. Our elementary faculties average only 13 hours
per week for physical education. Sixty % of our
school children don’t participate in a daily pro
gram of physical activity. Buses even cut back the
amount of walking.
3. Approximately half the children in one pilot study
didn’t pass a minimum take a look at for physical fitness.
This take a look at was minimum in the extreme, requiring,
for example, that thirteen-year-recent boys be able to chin
themselves on a bar only once and 17-year-olds only
three times.
4. Men will love the contemporary, clean feel of Gentlemen Pride, and women will love its distinctive, masculine fragrance! Only a tiny % of scholars use the expensive
tennis courts, gyms and swimming pools some faculties
offer or compete in athletic sports.
5. In 1950, 51 % of the boys entering the fresh
men class of Yale University were able to pass the
basic muscular strength tests. Now only 37 %
do.
6. Yankee children are disgracefully behind European
children when it involves physical fitness, and in
some cases British women outscored our boys when
given the same tests.
