MUSCLE IN HISTORY.
This fact brings us naturally to n
consideration OF muscle training and
| the part II has played in history.
Naturally in the upward evolution Of
! the race, musclc-prowess would attract
attention before nd-prowess. The
early heroes Of every people have been
| men capable of doing wonders In
physical strength. The same laws hold
| during childhood and youth. Strength.
swiftness and muscular dexterity al
ways win applause in youthful circles,
| especially II physical courage or
game qualitins be associated there
with. This characteristic remains true
throughout life, wherever the energies
| ar" not unduly drawn to the mind
The history OF ancient Greece. how
ever shows that the greatest physical
developement can co-eNist with the
greatest mind development. The peo-
pie Of today can scarcely conceive the
state Of perfection reached In SYM
mctrical muscular development in that
early age of the world. If a collection
OF the best trained athletes could be
made from all over the world we
should hardly approach the perfection
Of physical manhood and womanhood
exhibited by the body OF the Greek
people.
And that such eminence should have
been reacted by an entire people, Is
little to wonder at; for the Greeks or
dered their entire lives. from the be-
getting of children to the last act of
homage and devotion, with view to
physical perfection. The olympic
games, which occurred every four
years We're of such natural moment,
that every other activity, even war IT.

might attend them. So vast and varied

one vast tournament representing the
muscular prowess of modern times. It
would not begin to compare in size en-
thuslasm or actual physical results,
with the regular meetings Of the
Greek people to celebrate the national
games.
SO highly priced was the simple laurel
with which the victors We're crowned,
that walls were often torn down that
youth bringing such honors to his ma
tive city might enter unmoested. and
his name became the theme of poetry
and the burden of song.

directly to the point In consideration
OF motor education. In general, II
may be said that whatever builds up
the physical system, tends to absorb
energies which. If not turned to mind,
generally so to fertilize vice and cor
ruptlon College sports must there
fore be placed on the side of morality.
They also serve as n direct benefit In
reinforcing mind-poweI and in de-
velopng manlness and self-control
Boxing. for instance, is one of the
surost cures for sudden anger; the
contestant who falls to take his pun
ishment in good grace, i,e., loses his
temper, meets swift retribution for his
want Of elf-control. These sports ale
often unnecessarily rough, not to say
brutal. But on the whole. 1t is better
to lose good man occasionally in foot
ball than to have eleven young men
spoiled by effeminacy, or debauchery.
MANUAL TRAINING.
The new direction of motor educa-
ton is along channels which. while
they furnish exercises sufficient for
growth, train the muscles at the same
time to useful handicrafts. This
thought has led to manual training
schools, concerning which Il few
thoughts may not be amiss.
In kindergartens and primary
schools the aim should be TO make
toys, for this Is the line of most active
interest. There is veritabie mine of
pedagogic truth yet to be developed in
this direction Russia has considered
toys OF so far-reaching an influence in
education, that she has held two toy
congresses, the purpose of which was
reform and further development.
In the higher departments many
schools have found 1t valuable slim
ulus to have students construct the
apparatus needed to Illustrate the sub
jects of science under consideration In
their classes. OF course in all grades
children should be permitted to keep
what they make.
COMPLESITY AND SPEED.
The general purpose underlying ali
physical training should be to Increase
the complexity and speed Of the mus
cles. First. children should be taught
to do as many things as possible. The
old German idea was for the student
to travel--become n journeyman-and
learn now from this master. then from
that, all the trades useful to man.
The ideal would be to have n student
skilful in all methods of manipulation
and master of one method.
Second, he should be taught to do
what he does with accuracy and speed.
For every student that becomes skill
full to degree of success in tele-
graphy. typewriting, photography,

Physical education was maintained
at nigh plane In Rome, owing to the
eXlgencies of war; also during the mid
ule ages, owing to knight-errantry.
which involved the ioust and tourna-
ment; but when gunpowder was in
vented, a soldiers value came to de-
pend less and less upon his muscular
power and dexterity, and so physical
training fell into disuse.
THE TURNER SYSTEM.
As a result of the effeminacy which
came to the race. in consequence, Ger
many fell an easy victim to the Napol-
comic wars, but It took the Germans a
long time to realize the cause of their
weakness. 1t was first pointed ont by
Rather jain, who by the aid of the
government established Turner bunde
or Turner-platze for the physical de-
velopment of the nations youth. His
theories as to the effect of such train
ing in reinforcing martial valor We're
realized most gloriously for the father
land when the French We're routed and
driven again beyond the Rhine.
OTHER SYSTEMS.
Since the days Of Father jain,
physical education has been largely re-
duced to Il scientific basis. OF its re-
suits as to health and power, all are
now agreed. But there is still much
diversity as to the best methods OF
attaining such results. The German
school of gymnasts follow the lines
laid down by John The Swedish fol-
low system devised by Prof. Ling.
The French have their Delsarte, while
America, If 1t has any system at all,
may be said to follow the eclectic
system of DR.. Sasgcnt. The latter has
this distinguishing characteristics: 1t
does not seek to develop any series of
muscles Unfortunately, but aims to
equalize and harmonic the the whole;
to which end. exercise are chosen to
fit the condition Of each Individual as
determined by careful measurements
and medical diagnosis.
For all-round physical education. 1t
would be hard to find n better school
than the old-time New England farm.
And perhaps the duties of an agricul-
tural vocation are, all things consid-
cred, the safest and truest means or
national motor education today. With

the race would soon deteriorate, what
ever be its artificial systems. In n
New England museum devoted to farm
relics are products which show that
our fathers and our mothers were
skilled in the muscle craft. belonging
to eighty-two distinct industries. What
system of physical culture can show
such variety of development as this?

MOTOR EDUCATION.


DR.. Hall began his sixth lecture by
q few incidents in his own career. He
said in substance:
Twenty-Five years ago / graduated
from a famous German university
graduated with that sense OF COM
pleteness and fnaiity which generally
envelopes and exalts the ambitious
young man on the occasion Of taking
out his first degree.
There really seemed little else to
learn; but wishing to enter upon some
line OF scientific investigation 1 applied
to a noted specialist for advice. After
looking me over and taking stock Of
my knowledge, he casually remarked
that ] might spend the next year
studying the sartorious muscle of n
frogs legl
WORK OF SPECIALISTS
The sartorious or tailors muscle is so
named from belief that it is this mus
Gle which the tailor uses when he
squats on his table for work. The fact
soon becomes apparent to me, that my
subject was not the complete leg of a
frog, but only one OF twenty-five mus
Giles that go to make up that useful
limb. What was there in this small
strip Of reptilian tissue TO engage n
mans mind for one year?
1t was with such misglvlngs that
entered upon my investigations. The
first discovery l made was as to the In
sufiiciency of my college training. My
knowledge of chemistry and electricity
had to be patched and supplemented
and / was compelled to enter the do
main of mechanics in order to Invent
and perfect certain apparatus neces-
sary to my experiments.
The work soon assumed respectable
proportions, and little by little ! per-

| ccived that whatever general prlncl
| pies or laws l should discover respect
| ing this bit of muscular tissue would
| be true of all muscle, whether animal
| or human; and the thought that was
really on the frontier of Investigation,
and that II was possible FOR me to add
/ my individual discoveries to the ever
widening map OF truth gave unusual
rest to my iabors.
(Iere DR. Hail entered into a brief
discussion OF the discoveries he had
aimed at, drew illustrations on the
black board of the apparatus devised
for the purpose, also illustrated by
drawings some Of the physiological
laws that he discovered and demon
strated. The exposition was Of scicn-
tifc character, and I find that my in
terest must have been such that l
neglected to take notes; consequently
as l would. not trust my memory for
the technical details OF it. l leave out
this part OF the lecture.)
The year passed away too quickly;
but my Investigations were NJ length
completed, and though the memoir l
contributed to the science Of anatomy
and physiology was small In cOmpuri-
son with the labor involved, 1t taught
me TO appreciate the worth, purpose
and dignity OF what are usually re
garded as trines. Thereafter men
could not so readily say OF me, what
was said by Tennyson OF Peter Bell:
"a primrose growing by a brim,
A yellow primrose was to him,
And 1t was nothing more"
MUSCLE AND CIVILIZATION.
Consider for n moment the part that
muscles play in the civilization of the
race. Whatever man has achieved in
the subdual OF the world, or in the
elevation of the species, though 1t may
have originated in the mind has been
wrought out by the muscles.
Muscles are more than servants for
the mind: for no muster is entirely in
capable of doing things without SER
wants; but without muscles the mind,
so far asa the plane of activity is con-
cerned, would be absolutely pOwerless.
The most CHASTITY evidence of this
truth is the fact that men in a state of
trance are often burned alive: unable
by so much as n wink or II breath, or
n change of expression In the eye, to
tell their weeping friends that they are
not yet dead.
The muscles make one half the body
by weight. and each muscle I,brc is
harnessed to the brain by nerve
filament, along which the power to act
is transmitted. Education from one
point of view is learning how properly
to send power along these nerves; for
on the relative strength and coordna-
