PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
Efforts Made by the Scotch. Supported
by Mr.. Carnegie.

Consul McCunn of Dunfermline re-
ports rapid progress in Scotland's eff
forts to meet continental countries
with their own weapons-those forged
in the physical culture schools. He
says:
In my annual report OF last year
referred to the opening of the GYM
nasium portion of the new Carnegie
BATHS. Since then the other parts of
the building have been completed and
equipped. and ON October 4, 1905, this
institution, now known as the Car
negie Trust College of Hygiene and
Physical Training, was formally open
ed. The progress and development of
the work of this institution, the first
Of it's kind, will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed with great interest by educa-
tors everywhere.
The broad issue to which this ad-
mirably adapted and modernlys Equip
ped structure is now being put could
not have been contemplated when first
planned, as the Dunfermline Carnegie
Trust was not then in existence. The
formation of the trust, with practically
unlimited powers and an annual in
come of e25,O00 ($125,00O), the in
terest Of Doctor Carnegie's latest gift
to Dunfermline, at it's disposal, Great
ed possibilities for experimenting in
new fields of culture for the physical,
mental and social advantage of man
kind, (which otherwise could not have,
been attempted at Dunfermline.
The advantages which the institu-
ton offers are manifold. The $500
pupils of the various local schools re-
ceive physical drill and practice from
specially trained teachers employed
by the trust. Public and private day
and evening gymnasium classes have
been opened at nominal charge, to
meet the wants of all desiring to enter.
The baths, comprising Turkish, Rus
sian, swimming, and slipper baths, are
second to none in Britain in convent
ence and adaptability to the uses for
which they were constructed, are open
daily, and, for those who cannot af-
ford to pay the small fee charged, and
others who may on occasion find the
new baths fully occupied, the old bath
establishment, former gift from Doc
tor Carnegie, has been overhauled, re-
fitted, and opened free of charge.
The College of Hygiene offers two
courses of study, designated the "theo-
,retical course and the practical
course" The former embraces (1)
human anatomy and physiology; .(2)

DRY of movements and teaching; az

is such as to qualify students for TAX
