C ALLEN & CO., T26 AND 127 GRANVILLE STREET, HALIFAX, N.S. --1 ^ ( Entered according to Act of Parliament in the year 16S9, Hy T. C. Allen & Comp\nv, In the OtTice of the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa. 4. ,'' J PREFACE. -1 ^ Almost overy great writer on education has given much prominenoa to the iinpurtance of phyHieal culture, both as a thing desirable in itself, and as a means leading to an end— that end being greater possibilities in intellectual and moral development. Judging by estimates of examinora, even our youngest teachers can discourse elofjuently on both headings of the text — '* A Sound Mind in a Sound Body ; " yet in practice the second heading is very generally ignored even by those who are considered our ablest teachers. Proper care for the bodies of their pupils is most shamefully neglected by most instructors. The harmoniouH development of the physical powers is seldom thought of. Too often the present or future health of the child is sacrificed for the sake of a display of mental ability, that may, for the time being, increase the reputation of the teacher or gratify the vanity of the short-fighted parent. Although but a part of the responsibility for the "sound body** rests with the teacher, yet so much of the future happiness and suc- cess of the pupil's life depends on that part, that he who even thoughtlessly neglects it cannot be held guiltless. School calisthenics cannot take the place of or be considered as important as those absorbing out-of door games so in harmony with child nature in the develop»nent which they secure, ye*- calisthenics is an important auxiliary co such agencies as ventilation, light, fre(iuent and judicious changes of study and position, etc, in preserv- ing the highest educational vigour in the class-room. All the voluntary muscles are so connectsd with the brain that its health and growth are very much increased by their systematic exorcise. In 1885 the following resolution was passed at the Provincial Educational Association : — Whereas, in many of our schools the evils of a lack of physical training are becoming apparent : '■* Resolved, — That this Association, having learned with satisfaction that the Provinciul Medical Society has moved in the matter of giving better physical education to our youth, and having read the essay on the subject by Dr. Stewart of Pictou, shall hereby appoint .... a Committee to consult with and co-operate with the Medical Society as to how an'' vhen to memorialise the Legislature to encourage physical educ-aion in this province." PKKFACE. From vario'.iH causuH, the coiuinitteu appuintod failed to accomplish much. Attention was, however, called to the subject, and ject on my attention, and on the 2nd of February, 1888, passed the following resolution : — (a.)

The slow mark time sho-dd be practised tirst. At all times the pupilfi will uv.uk time on the spot where they are standing when the word of command is jriven. 8. Marching.— In marching, n I ways step off with the left foot. The pupils must maiutam the position of the h .d and b..dy as di. ctyd in Paragraph 2 ; both knees must be kept stmight, except while the leg is being carried quickly SUnn—Marh Time, or Quick — Mark Time, Slow— March, or Quick— March. 10 PHYSICAL DRILL. On the Heeh^ Slow — March. On the Toes, Slow — March. from the rear to the front. When the foot comes to the front, always depress the toe as much as possible ; allow the foot to remain in front until the wei)L;ht of the body is brought directly forward, without rolling to the right or left. The slow march should be practised first, great care being taken to secure a steady forward movement of the body. The fjieat secret in this is simjdy to keep at all times the weight of the body upon the forei)art of the feet, then the foot will propel the body directly forward. If the weight of the body is on the heels, by a quick, impulsive movement it must roll from one leg to the other. Mmrhing on the Heels. — The slow march should be })rHctised by raising the toes as high as possible and marchirg on the heels. Marching on the. Toes. — Raise the heels as high as posvsible, keep the legs straight, the knees well braced back, and march on the toes. N.B. — These are most excellent exercises for the legs and feet, and should frequently be ])ractised. The instructor must bear in mind that the three most im))ortant points in marching ai-e : — First, time; second, miifori)nty in the, length of the pace or step ; third, direction. As regards the tirst, it will be found that there is invari- ably a tendency to quicken the pace. If a class is marching in slow time, seventy-tive paces should be taken in a minute; in quick time, one hundred and sixteen ])aces in a minute. Care should be taken to observe this time as nearly as possible. Tlie length of the pace must be regulated according to the size of the pui)ils. If the foot be extended too far to the front, it will cause the papil to sj)ring from one foo*- to the other. A full pace for adults is about thirty inches. HaU, Wlien marchiTig. on the com.mand Halt the foot then advancing will complete its pace, and the other foot will be brought up to it.

Left Close Turn the head to t)ie left, and step off with the Quick— March, left foot tirst. Care should be taken to see that the ])upils on the flanks do not step away from the others, as tliey should neither crowd nor open out the ranks. The dressing should be maintained. 10. Wheeling in Line.— The j.upils being in line in front of the instructor, to change the direction to the right, on tiie command Ji^inhf, Wheel, Quick— March, the pupil on the right (called the pivot) will mark time, turning grad- ually with the class to the new front ; the remainder will step off, the whole turning their eyes to the left (the wheeling flank), except the pupil on the left, who will look inwards, and step the usual i)ace, the other pupils regulating their length of pace according to their distance from the^pivot. Durhig the wheel, each pupil must touch lightly towjirds the pivot, keeping the shoulders square in line ; crowding must be carefully avoided ; each pupil must yield to any pressure that may come from the pivot, and resist all pressure conung from the outer flank. When the wheel is ctnnpleted. the word of com- mand, llaU, Mark Time, or Forward, should be given. (Plate III.) The class will wheel to the left in a similar manner The pupils should thoroughly understand the difference between the pivot and the wheeling flank. 1£ PHYSICAL DRILL. Jiight^orLefl- ]!.

If the pupils are marching in any form whatever, on the comm-^nd lliyht Incline (Plate VI.), they will at once turn half-right, and march in a diagonal direction to the right front, and keep in line. (Command, Forward.) The clasa will be in a line parallel to its original position. This movement should be done without losing the dressing.

If the left of the class is in front, tlie remainder will incline to the right, and come up in line on the right. To form line to the front on the move, ie., without halting the class (command. On the Move — For7n Line to the Front), the ]>arty in front will continue at the same pace, the remainder will incline as before and double up to the front in lino, then take up the march with the others. 16.

The instructor should observe the same when the pupils step off in marching. One Pace Backwards — MarcK Change Feet, 17. If any of the pupils are stepping with a different foot, when markngi time, they will beat twice in succession with one foot. When marching, if the left foot is in front, thev will bring the right foot up to the left and quickly pass the left foot forward again, or vice-versd.
