Proper oymn..tIe, Work.

Every person who has received gym
nasium training is aware OF the fact
that an exercise which calls for pain
ful effort on the part of the beginner
is often performed almost without any
conscious effort at all after GER
tain amount of training has been re-
ceived. Again. 1t is perfectly well
known that brute strength alone does
not make a gymnast. and. that even q
simple exercise may offer great DIFF
ficulty to muscular and well develop
ed individual who has not been train
ed In the gymnasium. The explanation
for this is made plain in an article by
Professor du Bois Raymond In Die
Umschau. who points out that one Of
the essential functions OF gymnasium
work is not SO much to build up mus
Gle as to train nerves and nerve groups
to work in proper unison and co-or-
