...even concerning candidates for the 'varsity. Of course a coach can see that there is something wrong with the men, but is hard to accuse them of breaking training. When asked why they are looking badly, or why they are slow and unsteady in their movements, they "don't know, but suppose they are being worked too hard." Of course they are! When individuals on the team succumb under those circumstances, there arises a fear of "overtraining," and that fear of hard work has defeated Harvard more than once.

As the town grows into a large city people are no longer neighbors to each other; poverty, want and crime segregate to the lower and more unhealthy portions of the city and it becomes necessary in order to relieve distress to establish relief societies. These societies simply give alms to the people who apply for them and concern themselves very little in any other means of helping the poor. In the last report...
