Excerpt from Roller Skating Made Easy: This Is the Sole Instruction Book for Roller Skating, and Is Indispensable to All Skaters
We present this unpretentious little volume to the public with the hope that it may enable those who carefully study it to learn the principles of skating, and a correct system and method for practicing the same.
Without some such knowledge it is only by much hard work that one can become an expert skater; the fact that many skaters, able to perform difficult movements with considerable expertness, are not graceful in their motions and appearance upon skates, is due to a lack of proper instruction in systematic methods.
Every one knows that to become a good musician it is necessary to learn the system upon which it is founded, and the correct methods by which it should be performed. No one can attain great proficiency without acquiring this knowledge; the one who by aid of natural talent alone, without due study of system and methods, becomes a performer, never goes beyond mediocrity.
Let skaters, whether they are novices or already somewhat proficient, bear this fact in mind, and by the study and practice of proper methods they can effect the satisfactory improvement sure to result therefrom.
If our words serve to make easier the paths whereby grace and perfection in skating may be reached, and stimulate to practice the skaters who have ceased to try for further improvement, as also those among beginners who fear to attempt more than merely rolling around the rink, then the mission of the Instruction Book will be accomplished.
