Speaking nt the reception which -was given, in her honour in Wanganui last week, Miss Bleibtrey said she was glad to see that more encouragement was being given to the improvement of physique by sport. That was as it should be,” for girls were greater stickers than boys. Boys were helped in every form, and they "were the only ones practically who received any attention wheil sports programmes were being arranged. In the States of America, however, girls were now receiving more attention, because of the fact that they showed they were capable of greater efficiency than b&ys. Boys would not stick to their task as girls would. They started well, but somehow, thev got tired, and they had to be helped all along the road. Girls were not like . Give them anything they might 1 . inleiested in, and they would tenaciously hold on to their_ task until they became thoroughly efficient. irls did not require the nursing g^'e/to 0 bovs, and she hoped the people of. V anganui would do their be<l for the girls in future. Sport helped to make them better women, and endow them with greater eouipment for the responsibilities of tlm future. As far as swimming was -concerned, girls were now. by their pluck, endurance, and thoroughness, lli-iwing that they were getting where the majority of boys could never reach, simply because the boys lacked oM’Umtion. There was no earthly leason nt all why the girls of New Zealand w. h the assistance of good coaches, should not become world’s champions. .he therefore urged iqxm the poople o M, anganui to devote more time to the Uri - ing out the best there was ill Sfirts. and she guaranteed that they would be well rewarded for their efforts
