Prince Chichibu began to explore the Northern Japanese Alps in 1923, and during 1924 scaled the snow-capped and hurricane swept Tateyama, one of the most dangerous and forbidding mountains in southern Japan. This youth of 24 who dropped in upon President Doumergue last week on his way to a winter of study at Oxford has indeed been chiefly responsible for the wave of interest in skiing and alpine climbing, now spreading over young Japan. Meanwhile those familiar with modern Nippon recalled that all the princes of the present ruling house are remarkable for their athletic prowess...

Still, none of you would be content with this achievement as the total outcome of your lives. It is a happy thing to have in youth what are called animal spirits--a very descriptive phrase; but animal spirits do not last even in animals. They belong to the kitten or puppy stage.
