Excerpt from Handbook of School-Gymnastics of the Swedish System: With 100 Consecutive Tables of Exercises and an Appendix of Classified Lists of Movements
The author objects most sincerely to making teach ers into machines, and desires that this book be merely a guide for those who are already familiar with the subject, and who can couple their individuality to that of another, and who are teachers, not imitators. The tables have been arranged so as to suit all the condi tions of a school; and with the progressive lists at the end of the book, a teacher of gymnastics can easily expand the tables so as to make them correspond to any conditions under which he is teaching. Those who desire to learn more about the rationale of the system are referred to The Swedish System of Edn cational Gymnastics (published by Lee Shepard.
