A Few GymnaAtic Movements for
Boys Which Afford Lots Of Fun
and Rational Exercise.

Gymnastic exercises are practiced
for two reasons-to have fun and to
keep the body healthy and strong.
Those who think of the latter reason
while exercising often miss the fun, but
those who go in for the fun obtain all
the other benefits as well; so let us be-
gin by saying: Were going to have
some fun"
For the present you will need only
some rugs, carpets, mattresses, hay,
straw or shavings on which to roll
around, and a suit of clothes which
your mother does not consider too good
to come in such close contact with fhe
dust of the earth. For indoors it is we'll
to wear some kind of soft-soled foot
coverings, such as tennis slippers or
"pumps"-these are made of canvas
shaped to the foot-or some extra
stockings.
In the following descriptions and IL
Illustrations 1 shall try to make clear to
you various ways of 'tumbling" that
will add much to your agility in addi-
ton to Strengthening your muscles and
improving your body generally. The
first movement we will study is:
THE FORWARD ROLL.
Raise the heels, bend the knees as
much as possible, place the hands on the
floor about foot in front Of the toes
with the fingers slightly bent and
spread. Lean forward. with the chin
against the chest until the back of the
head rests on the floor Gig. u, then
push strongly with the toes and roll,
keeping the knees close to the chest;
at the same time swing the arms Wig
orously forward; grasp the legs little
above the instep Gig. - and pull. You
should land in the sQuatting position
