A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface FOR a long time the need of physical culture in school and home has been a want half-acknowledged and wholly felt. While the child is growing is the time to develop those muscles which will support, strengthen and beautify the body, and invigorate the mind. A few minutes in the morning and a few minutes again in the afternoon devoted to light, judicious exercise will do a great deal toward improving the physical and mental condition of the child. Little backs will be strengthened to endure the strain of an upright posture, and the slouchy appearance of half-sitting, half-reclining students will be avoided. It is high time that our parents and teachers should be paying attention to these matters. A finely built man or woman is so rare that one never fails to draw attention, whether on the street or in the country. This should not be so. Everyone has within himself the power to possess a well-developed, graceful figure, and it is not only a shame but a sin for people to allow their children to grow up with narrow shoulders, depressed chests, uncertain limbs and other deformities which seem now the rule in the physical development of mankind.
