will be pleased to learn that Prof W. r. Me-
Daniel has been appointed teacher in the
Summer School of Physical Culture at Har-
ward under the direction of DIR. ID. A. Sargent
The manner of this appointment is as honor
able as the appointment itself. Prof. Nc
Daniel spent last summer at the school with
DR.. Sargent and during the year has been
developing new system of teaching club
swinging. Having completed the system, he
sent it on to DR.. Sargent, as the first authority
in this country on the subject, for examlna-
lion. The result was letter OF warm appre-
citation and an invitation TO teach his system
At Harvard this summer. Prof Mcdaniel
has accepted the invitation both because it
will give him the opportunity to subject his
system TO thorough test and at the same
line give him increased facilities for i'm
in other departments of Physical
Culture Prof McDaniers publication,
which is now going through the press, will be
entitled Club Swinging by Note," and
hough but small pamphlet, it represents a
iears work, and is destined, perhaps, to
Exert an important influence on the whole
method of teaching Calisthenics.
