Principles and Methods of Physical Education and Hygiene

Abstract

THIS book is addressed to the teachers of elementary schools, and,to such of them as enjoy the study of physiology much pleasure will be derived from the perusal of every chapter. The author, we see, is master of method in the University of Leeds; he describes methods as well as theory of cleanliness, ventilation, care of the eye, and such “first aid” as is likely to be called for. More theory than method, however, is set dovvii to advance the practising of the physical exercise part of physical education. We have no idea how the author would arrange to get the best use out of the school playground; how he would attain some organisation of games among scholars without encroaching upon the teacher's time.
