Abstract
THE sixth annual meeting of the National League for Physical Education and Improvement was held at the Mansion House on December 8, the Lord Mayor presiding. Letters of regret were read from the Archbishop of York, Lord Haldane, the Lord Chief Justice, and others. The first speaker was Sir Archibald Geikie, president of the Royal Society. He greatly approved of the objects of the league, which are to stimulate public interest in the physical improvement of the people, to lessen waste by coordinating agencies already established for this purpose, and starting them where none at present exist, to make better known the local powers already possessed by public authorities, and to promote fresh legislation where necessary. In a short, telling speech he pointed out that while the league was to be congratulated on the very rapid and excellent progress it had made during the six years in which it has been in existence, it has been, and still is, hampered by want of funds, a want which it is to be hoped will be remedied in the coming year by the aid of all those who have the health of the nation at heart.
