Ward Beam, of Philadelphia, who has leaped into considerable prominence, as the exponent of -a new and novel system af physical The advertisement has covered a vast area of territory. We have in our possession a very interesting analysis of Mr. Beam's system, as it appeared in the New York Herald, and a resume published in the Weekly Unity, of Kansas City, Mo. Short <)- descriptions have appeared in the press of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, to our knowledge, in each of which it is mentioned that during the past Summer. Mr. Ward Beam devoted considerable time to the physical development and training, of the Beach Patrol. Apart from any local considerations however. Word Beam deserves to be heard, on his theory of physical culture, for its own intrinsic According to Mr. Beam, who by the way, is physical instructor of the Pennsylvania College of Pharmacy, the Mercantile and several other big clubs, and two mammoth department stores in Philadelphia, — the THINKING, rather than the actual DOING, of an exercise, is the factor of utmost importance. Apropos of Mr. Beam, the New York Herald states: "Mr. Beam, who has revolutionised all methods and theories of athletics, has attracted much attention by his methods. In fact, in the opinion of the most expert physicians, he has accomplished almost incredible things." If you are too corpulent to run or perform stunts on horizontal bars, you can get results by a much easier method. How? Watch some one else doing the actual work, says Mr. Beam. Concentrate , upon the person who is doing what you cannot do or do not care to do, and — this is important — imagine you are doing the physical work yourself. YouH be surprised at the results Jroull get! If for any reason your heart actioh is bad and you need exercise, get up in the morning, stand by a window, let your arms descend, < let your hands open and dose and then lift dumbells that are purely figments of your imagination. You will derive, so Mr. Beam declares, even better results than if you used the actual weights. For by imagining fictitious weights you call the brain into play. The brain in turn causes vibrations of the nerves. The nerves play upon the muscles. And by this imaginary sort of treatment you are doing two things at once, exercising nerve and rauade. That, Mr. Beam says, is not done in purely mechanical exercises. The foundation of athletics as at present taught, in Mr. Beam's ' opinion, is all wrong. The purpose now is simply to develop muscle. And the development of musde by mechanical means without a corresponding development in mental control of those muscles cannot have beneficial results. Back of bodily development, declares Mr. Beam, must be a mental, or, aa he puts it, a spiritual development ' ' And through bodily exeriese of this sort with the mind called into1 play, not only can a more responsive and efficient human mechanism ; be produced, but one can, in almost every realm of endeavor, attain greater results than otherwise. "Now, tiie value of bodily development and agility is chiefly in patting that body to the greatest and severest uses in life,'* said Mr. Beam. "In making it accomplish for you what you set out to get. There ere many handicaps in regard to bodily development, just as there are conventions that handicap mental development. We've got i to break away from conventions. f . ("We,- have been taught, for instance, that self-preservation is the first la# of nature. That teaching makes Swards of us. AH the animals preserve their young first in cases danger. And in teaching exercise to the young we should teach them to forget danger; to think of others first in cases of emergency. "In training my classes at the College of Pharmacy I have home this in mind; I have put them to the most dangerous forms of physical work; had them climb the irongirdera of e high roof, put them to 'mountain dimbing,' as 1 call it, in the quarries around PhiladelphiaNo one was ever hurt The class developed not only their muscles i but thdr minds, their spirit of bravery, intrepidity, thdr ability to protect others as well as themselves in cases of emergency. So, to' get at my point, the purpose of physical culture should be to develop j the heroic in man, and the heroic Is largely spiritual. "Conventions make cowards of us. In my system of physical training my purpose is, first, to -eliminate cowardice. To do this I realise that I have to eliminate fear. "My method? When I first' take a new class I at once begin to . tdl them to perform difficult feats. The first thought is to make any < obstacle subject to you. I marshal! my class before me. I will tell them, one by one, to jump over a table or some high object. " 'Now,' I tell them, Mont think of the table, but think of land- . ing on the other side. Concentrate only on that. Thus the object 1 becomes subjective. If you think of the object and what difficulties* it present:, then it becomes positive; you become objective. You will '1 probably fall over it.' " Mr. Beam is himself a remarkable example of mind control over the body. During the past summer, we were priveleged to see him demonstrate this in much the same manner in whi^fe be has demonstrated, before some of the most distinguished medical scientists. By a simple effiort of will he can cause his hair to rise, as it does1 with fright. In a moment he can produce "goose flesh" all over his • body. He can control his heart action simply by will, making it go faster or slower as he desires it. By s few moments' concentration 1 he can affect his tear glands so that he can actually "break into tears." Mr. Beam says that there is a man in Philadelphia, whose eaae has been studied by Dr. Judson Deland, who can change his circulation and alternate the flow of blood to such a degree that his two hands will turn red and white alternately. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, the celebrated neurologist and novelist, can also control his heart action. " Ido not belive in dumbells, mechanical horses, rowboats and the explicated paraphernalia of gymnasiums. ' "They distract the mind. ' "Use a kitchen table, a soap box, something so familiar that it is a passive or objective -object. Then do stunts about it. Do difficult stunts. It is surprising the feats one can do with an 'ordinary chair. Don't be afraid. Think only of what you want to do, and how In doing it, your mind, the real you, is directing the muscles. Thus you wiU tune up your body, get your nerves in a fine, responsive and sensitive condition, and you'll overcome the handicap to success fa life— fear. We have referred to Mr. Ward Beam's theory as "new." Practically applied to physical culture and athletics, it is new. On the other hand, mind control over matter, is the basis of Brahminical Philosophy, taught thousands 'of years before the birth of Christ. Brahmin priests have been known to have cultivated so absolute a control over the physical frame, as to have been able to "think" a certain limb at wiU, into utter insensibility to pain. Arteries have been cut, deep indsions made, without the subject experiendng as much pain, as would be caused by a- pin-prick. The Sentinel desires to congratulate Mr. Ward Beam, not only upon his achievements in this particular, and very fruitful department j of. human study and development, but in the public recognition his work and achievements are receiving. Practical or applied psychology, fa as yet fa swaddling clothes. Infinite possibilities are immanent; the day may not be distant when Mr. Beam wiU reap a fitting reward for years of patient investigation and experimentation, and the world profit much from his work. t I

PECK'S BAD BOY Sinie we ventured a week or so past, to devote some space to the local version of "Peek's Bail Roy," whose penchant for destroying und damaging property, has become more notorious than good for the reputation of our city this winter, we have received a sheaf of com- . inunications. many of which contain valuable suggestions for combatting the evil. One writer we quote as follows: "Would it not tie possible to induce the faculty of the public schools, and the churches, to enter into " a campaign l-> instruct the children to respect the rights of property? Hardly a year passes but what we find something has been destroyed at our 'bungalow.' Another corespondent gave expression to the same idea in these words: "Ocean City is above everything a church city, some folks complain it is too churchy. The point I wish to emphasize is that I feel certain, that the churches 'of Ocean City wield a greater influence over the public, than in any other place I know of, ami if the good pastor.- would bring this very urgent mutter before the people, it would tend to improve maters very much. Last summer it cost me h a round fifty dollar bill, to repair damage done to my cottage. The 0 same is true of every year." '' Still another writes: 'For three years I have been contemplating improvements to my cottage, which would mean the spending of about e $2000. r have plans drawn. But the damage done arond the place, '• during the winter, has kept me from carrying the improvements into " effect." e It has become very evident therefore, that Peck's Bad Boy is guilty of a ftir more widely distributed destruction of property than ■ wc knew. If his misdeeds in this direction, are the cause of preventing summer residents, from improving their properties, and from inereass ing their property valuation, it is an evil that is militating seriously, c against the progress of the city, calling for strong and immediate measures of correction, r Whether or not the situation is one which local ministers should ■1 discuss from the pulpit, must be decided by them. '• Should they however, undertake to do so, we would respectfully s suggest, that they emphasize the moral obligation resting upon each individual, to acquaint the police authorities, with all the information '• they possess, for the purpose of bringing the culprits to justice. Referring to the Police authorities, one correspondent writes: jj "While 1 sympathize with the Police, in their disinclination to have any boy branded as a criminal, still if warnings fail, stronger measures 1 must be put in force. Instead of giving the boys a lecture, and puti ting them on probation, if they were made- to pay for the damage s done, they could soon stop the trouble, by touching the pocket of those who wink at an act of malicious mischief." Here however, arises a difficulty. The police find it impossible to find sufficient evidence for a conviction. In several cases, they have i, had every reason to believe that neighbors knew when, and by whom, , certain damage and destruction of property was done; but iramedi- ; ately they are approached, to use the words of one officer, "they shut i up like clams." i 'We can appreciate their reticience, and dislike for being mixed B up in a complaint; nevertheless if the evil has grown to the propors tions it apparently has, the time has arrived when all personal eon- . siilermtions, should be subordinated to a patriotic and a civic duty. r If it becomes broadcasted that the property, bungalows and cotr j tages, of our summer residents, are not protected in their absence, that they must include in each summer's budget, a certain sum of money to repair damage, done in wanton mischief by boys, the result i would be fatal to all hopes of becoming anything more, than a second _jor third rate, cottage resort. t The excuse has been advanced, that there is nothing else for boys j to amuse themselves here during winter months. Granting there is "|a scarcity of entertainment and recreation; our boys are faring no *j worse than those of thousands of other places, where nothing of a j similar character would be tolerated. J The principle and practice of decimation, is not in general to be advocated; nevertheless occasions arise, when it becomes absolutely imperative to make an example of one culprit, as a warning to others.
