Hints to Gymnasts: Being Sound Advice and Hints to Leaders and Teachers in Gymnasia and Schools (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from Hints to Gymnasts: Being Sound Advice and Hints to Leaders and Teachers in Gymnasia and Schools IN compiling this book our object has been to bring within the reach of those Teachers of Physical Education, Amateur or Professional, who have not had an Opportunity of going through a proper Course of Instruction in Gymnastics, a means of acquiring the necessary knowledge to enable' them to fulfil their duties in a creditable manner. Notwithstanding the many laudable efforts made by several Institutions, notably the Orion and German Gymnastic Clubs, the British College of Physical Education, the Amateur Gymnastic and Fencing Association, and recently the Gymnastic Teachers' Institute, to spread a more scientific knowledge of Gymnastics among Leaders and Instructors, our experience, extending over 20 years, has taught us that the great majority of Provincial Teachers have still much to learn as to the benefits to be derived from a system of teaching based on scientific principles. There are, of course, notable exceptions, but these only tend to prove more conclu sively the truth of our assertion. It is, of course, impossible for us in these few pages to entirely cover the whole field of gymnastics, but it is hoped that our readers may find therein the groundwork whereby they may be enabled to teach a more modernised system than that which now generally obtains. Much of the matter that appears in this book has been published in the columns of the gymnast' and athletic review, but knowing from personal experience how desirable it is to have Articles and Exercises such as these in handy book form, we have, at the repeated request of many of our readers, decided to so publish them, and we trust that it may be the means of popularising a better Gymnastic knowledge among a class of Gymnasts who have no other means of making themselves acquainted with the art of teaching others.
