Excerpt from The Teacher's Manual of Physical Exercises: Arranged to Meet The requirements of the New CodeBpreparation classes where they would receive instruction not only in practice, but in theory. Too much attention is paid by many teachers to the practical work alone, with the result that they allow their pupils in school hours to sit and stand in the most injurious positions. If the truth were known, half of the children of the present day who suffer from curvature of the spine and other deformities have contracted them in the schoolroom, partly owing to the defective formation of the old desks and seats (which in nearly all the best schools now are being replaced by those made more on hygienic principles), but very greatly to the non-attention of the teachers, many of whom allow the children to sit in the most slovenly and incorrect positions, through sheer inability to tell them what is right. The teachers should be trained theoretically and practically, and even when this has been done the services of a specialist should be retained to visit the school at intervals to see that the work is being carried on efficiently.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
