Excerpt from How to Play American Hand Ball: A Technical Treatise of the Modern Game, Fully Illustrated and Showing the Correct Court; It Contains the Rules, Gives a Careful Analysis of Different Styles of Play, Describes How to Construct and Maintain Indoor, Outdoor and Roof Courts, Etc., Etc As to regular exercise: Can we have it? Do we want it? Is it desirable? Absolutely not. Regularity to most minds sug gests monotony, and between monotony and intelligence there is an eternal conflict. The nearer a human animal approaches perfect regularity in his daily existence, the less intelligence he is found to possess. Those primitive peoples that want little put forth but little effort to get it and their lives are fairly regular; the want, the desire, for more comforts or pleasures was the beginning of our complicated business structure and caused the advance in Civilization. It is a common saying that the more we get the more we want. We should not apologize for that, for it is a clear indication that we are a coming people. When all our wants are satisfied, instead Of being completely happy, we shall be decadent and some other stronger race will overrun us. The more diversified our life becomes, the more attractive it is and the less we can perceive Of regularity in it.
