and in my Judgment the practical setting
forth of the self-evident advantages is al
that is needed to win generous and enthus
iastic support to the cause which will make
is possible to establish and maintain F,
model and thoroughly equipped institution
employment in public schools all over the
land to develop bodies coinoident witt
brains by rational and scientific methods.
For a long time l have believed in the
necessity for such an institution, and my
Judgment has been strengthened by discuss
ing the matter with able men and womer
whose opinions are decidedly in favor, and
! whose substantial contributions to such ar
end have in more than one case been prom.
Used.
"In my lectures next spring, when I shall
| again go on the platform, / shall outline 4
plan for such a work and set forth the ad-
vantages of training at an institution de-
the spread Of scientific ideas of life and de-
yelopment. To erect and furnish a suit
able building. of classic and noble pro-
portions, at the national capital, Wash
ington, to carry this work forward in a
manner worthy of a great nation like our
own, a large fund is necessary. I shall de-
vote my best energies for the next i've years
to the purpose of raising such a fund and
establishing such an institution, and I ask
the hearty cooperation of all who are in
terested in the development of a better
social status, of d sounder moral tone and a
generally higher and mere comprehensive
bodily education, which will include the
harmonious development of all the material
forces animated and controlled by the men
tai and moral. The main part of my public
lecture work will be in the interest Of this
object, and | believe that my efforts will be
generously seconded by the press and the
people of the country. .
This work will be in no sense the work
OF personal ambition, and it will know no
limitations of personality, nor will it appeal
to the interests of one class or another of
the whole people. 1t will not be sectarian,
connected with any ISM for the benefit Of
any section of the country, or any favored
class of the people-it will be in the best
sense an institution for the national
as a most convenient and appropriate
center, snd one favored by nature end art,
it must partake of the general tone of ita
surroundings. The o, ganization will be a
stock company, and the control of funds
and general management vested in a board
Of trustees whose names will be the
guaranty for success and faithful manage
mont. Its faculty and its lecturers will be
the ablest the world affords, and its aim
universal physical, mental and moral up
buildment.
The course of training will include not
only a thorough knowledge of anatomy,
with dissecting. physiology and practical
experiments and the study of the chemistry
Of foods in their relation to blood and
body building, hersdity and other like sub
jects, but the best models of art, and lee
lures with artistic demonstrations for the
cultivation Of understanding and apprecia-
ton Of symmetry and proportion, will form
an important part of the course. The
stock company organization upon a large
and equitable basis will afford all localitiss
certain equal opportunities for securing
scholarship advantages. Any section, com
munity, club, organization, school board
or indiyidul may by the purchase of a lin
tied amount OF stock secure the right to
send one student, pledged to teach for n
time, for the entire course without further
expense.
~ have received pledges of at least $780,
600 already, and am confident that within a
year or two all the money required will be
forthcoming. | think that $500, 600 could
be used to advantage in const uctinp,
e%qulpping and ~maintaing such an ~institu-
tion."
