Believing that the physical training OF
school children should, as MacLaren has so
well said, center warp and wool into the
ultimate structure of educational lfe,n and
recognizing that the years which a pupil
spends at Tome Institute embrace that period
Of life in which the physical characteristics
of an individual are determined, and If n
strong and vigorous physique is built up
then, very little will suffice in after life to
maintain it. Tome Institute intends to make
exceptional provision for and exercise the
most careful supervision in the physical cul-
ture of its pupils.
