CALlSTHENiCS IN THE SCHOOLS.

The state law provides in substance
that not less than one hour per week
shall be devoted TO the physical bet
terment of the pupils by suitable work
in that direction. The compliance
with the law in the grade schools, SO
far as the Free Trader-Journal is able
TO learn, generally takes the form Of
calisthenic exercises at IRREGULAR in
tervals and gone through with in a
perfunctory manner compliance,
perhaps, with the letter Of the law.
but not with the spirit of it, The work
is done solely under the direction and
supervision Of the regular teachers
most of whom have had no special in
struction In the work, and many of
whom have but a meager conception
of its importance, and fewer still have
any real love or regard for it. The
result Is that until a pupil reaches
the high school off he ever reaches it,
the whole business might nearly as
well be omitted entirely. The mere
motions of the simple calisthenc ex-
ercises, without the pep" and under, /
standing supposed to go with theri. /

Opment. If he even knows how to

to stand straight and then watch
that "tummy' come out. Ask him how
he should breathe, and he will think
you are kidding him.
Now, this is not rap at the board
