One of the troubles found by the enthusiastic American, is to know, not what to take, but what not to take. The great richness of the field is rather a drawback than an aid, for it is seldom that one is reduced to a "Hobson's choice."

...then instructed what method of training to adopt, for, unfortunately, all are not born with equally strong and perfect bodies, and each must pursue a course that is in consonance with his physical and mental peculiarities." The Doctor says that it should be the duty of every teacher to know the condition of his pupils, and in this nineteenth century, with so many large cities and constantly increasing population, we need gymasia with men to manage them who thoroughly understand hygienic and physiological laws...
