Excerpt from A Manual of Free Gymnastic and Dumb-Bell Exercises: For the School-Room and the Parlor "Resolved, That gymnastic training should be introduced into all the schools of the State, and made as indispensable in the daily routine of duties as the other exercises of the schoolroom. "Resolved, That Free Gymnastic exercises, calculated to secure a symmetrical development, of the body, may be made successful without any loss of time or progress on the part of the pupils in their attainments, and that teachers, by the use of a cheap manual, will find no difficulty in awakening interest in this indispensable branch of education." - Resolutions adopted by the Ohio State Teachers' Association, at Cleveland, July, 1863.

The experiment of Free Gymnastics has proved a decided success in the schools of Cincinnati." - Lyman Harding, Supt. of Cincinnati Public Schools.
