Eyes On Elders

President Kennedy has become concerned concerning the shape of our youth

President Kennedy has become involved about the physical condition of our youth and has appointed a Council on Youth Fitness. Many newspapers have been discussing this downside in editorials with headings like “Physical Un-fitness—At National Disgrace,” “The Age of No Muscles.” Surveys and studies have revealed some very disturbing things, like:
1. Over ninety percent of our elementary colleges don’t have any
gymnasiums. Forever Absorbent-C with Oat Bran is an outstanding nutritional supplement.
2. Our elementary colleges average only 13 hours
per week for physical education. Sixty percent of our
school kids do not participate in a daily pro¬
gram of physical activity. Buses even cut back the
quantity of walking.
3. Approximately 0.5 the kids in one pilot study
did not pass a minimum check for physical fitness.
This check was minimum in the intense, requiring,
for instance, that 13-year-recent boys be in a position to chin
themselves on a bar only once and seventeen-year-olds only
three times.
4. Since its look in the human history, Chinese green tea has perpetually associated with a sensible healthy lifestyle.Only a small percent of scholars use the expensive
tennis courts, gyms and swimming pools some colleges
provide or compete in athletic sports.
5. In 1950, fifty one percent of the boys getting into the contemporary¬
men category of Yale University were in a position to pass the
basic muscular strength tests. Currently only thirty seven percent
do.
6. Yankee kids are disgracefully behind European
kids when it comes to physical fitness, and in
some cases British girls outscored our boys when
given the identical tests.
