! Faults of bearing are not peculiar to
one class or section, but they will all
argue want of muscular power, nerve
control and symmetrical development.
People grow old and haggard while they
are yet young, through Ignorance OF
physical laws.
i Nerve must be a definite aim in the
! work of the teacher, and the exercise
must be specifically directed and method
ically taken.
The success Of this department is
largely due to the great amount of en-
thusiastic zeal, %unflagging energy and
forceful originality that has been shown
from the first by Miss Corbin, the in
structor. Her theory is that the moral
as well as the physical condition of the
pupil is improved by gymnastics, and
that strength and energy need grace to
form the trinity of physical beauty.
An examination of pupils desiring to
qualify for entrance to the high school
will be held at the superintendent Office
on Saturday at 8 a. m.
An examination will also be given
those who desire to make up work in
which they failed during the last term.
