Book synopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of the Gymnastic Exercises: As Practised by the Junior Class in Amherst College, Amherst, Mass The need of a manual like the present is seen in the fact that three editions of a similar work have been issued at Amherst during the past few years. The recent advances made in this department, and the increased facilities of our new Pratt Gymnasium, now ready for occupancy, seem to demand a new manual, and one which shall more fully meet the practical wants of teachers and educational institutions everywhere. The object of this manual is to furnish a series of exercises, by the use of which a teacher can directly instruct a class in light gymnastics; or an ingenious person may take the leading points in these exercises, and adapt them to peculiar wants and circumstances, thus giving a greater variety and pleasure of movement. There is also given a series of simple military movements that may be made by a class or company of from twenty to a hundred, - male or female, - either in a small out-of-doors area, or in an ordinary hall.
