Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the History of Physical Education The shore of physical education is strewn with the wrecks of systems and movements, many of them good in themselves, but left to drift when the personal support and enthusiasm of the founder was removed from the helm. It has only been when some great national crisis had to be faced and the minds of patriots and scholars were engaged in the effort to meet it, that systems have been evolved great enough to survive the death of their founder, the test of time and change in their national conditions. This is notably true of the gymnastics of Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Incomplete as systems Of physical education without the addition of games, but logical and accurate in their application to the con ditions they have had to meet, whenever similar conditions have arisen it is to them we have turned for inspiration and instruction, and nowhere was this better shown than in the great war of 1914, where crude masses of untrained and underdeveloped men had to be made quick and accurate in response to command and given that control of their bodies that is the true function of physical education in its highest sense. TO the sincere student of physical education nothing has a more sobering effect than the study of those advances made by the great men who have given their lives to their cause. He finds that most of the theories that come to him as new and startling have been thought before and have been either rejected or put into practice as well or better than he is likely to do, and so if he is a philosopher, he can avoid the inevitable failure of schemes that have been dis carded and adapt from material of proved worth the material that suits his special conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Modern Physical Training Denmark was the first European state to introduce physi cal training into its schools as an essential part of the course and to prepare teachers of that subject by offering sys tematic instruction in theory and method of gymnastics. The leader in this movement, and its director for forty years, was franz nachtegall (177 7 - 1847 whose whole life was passed in Copenhagen. As a student in the uni versity there he had applied himself to fencing and vaulting, and after his father's death undertook to support himself by giving instruction in gymnastics, at first in a private school. In 1799 he organized a gymnastic club composed of stu dents and young merchants, and on November 5 of the same year opened a. Private gymnasium, the first institution in modern times devoted exclusively to physical training. The venture was successful from the start. When five years later the government established a Military Institute for training non-commissioned officers to teach gymnastics in the army, its management was entrusted to Nachtegall, who received the title Professor of Gymnastics. The King also started, in 1808, a Civil Gymnastic Institute, in order to pre pare teachers for the elementary schools. A law passed in 1814 decreed that every school in Denmark Should provide grounds and apparatus for gymnastics, and that wherever the teachers were able to direct it the children should be given an hour of exercise each day, in addition to the regu lar schedule. Nachtegall was appointed Director of Gym nasties in 1821, his duties extending to the schools of the army and navy as well as to civil institutions. He pub lished, In 1828, a Manual of Gymnastics for Elementary Schools, the first book of its kind, and three years later' a Manual of Gymnastics for Use in Secondary Schools. Both were afterwards translated into German. Nachtegall resigned his position as Director of Gymnastics in 1842. Consult the American Physical Education Review for June, 1904 (vol. IX., pp. 97-99 and 107. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Organization and Administration of Physical Education Classic Reprint written by Jesse Feiring Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organization and Administration of Physical Education The development of physical education in America has been desultory always and, at times, even aimless. The manual training movement was forgotten in the enthusiasm over Dio Lewis' New Gymnastics. Catharine Beecher's Calisthenics for women lasted long enough to develop a reaction towards other types of work. Delsarte had its short moment; now it is gone. Too often we have installed the work of physical education with a shout, we have supported it with cheers, and we have seen it dwindle and die without even a tear. It is a pleasure to record a different temper today. School people are serious in their consideration of the matter. Principals, superintendents, and presidents are making plans for modern physical education, after careful study of the needs of boys and girls and the opportunities that physical education can offer to help meet these needs. The old systems, the old traditions, so carefully nourished by certain normal schools and training centers, are being subjected to a criticism that will eventually relegate to the limbo of forgotten things, the unscientific, the unserviceable, and the unsound practice of our programs. School men and physical education experts are seeking guides and standards for the work and are unwilling to accept the aims, purposes, guides, and standards of any school of physical education unless they are based on scientific foundations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Education in the Infant School The teacher should never ask or press a child to do anything, but should leave him to experiment by himself and set his own pace. It should be borne in mind that the child is the best judge of his own powers and strength and should therefore be allowed to explore in his own way and his own time. The child will learn to rely upon himself, and thereby in confidence, thus passing on step by step with increasing skill and courage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Program in Physical Education The report of Clark W. Hetherington, herewith submitted, on a proposed "School Program in Physical Education" is very broad in its scope. Beginning with a concise review of the rise of physical education in the public schools, it proceeds to a destructive critical analysis of the attempts that have been made to adapt European methods of physical education to American schools, and thence it passes to a constructive scientific presentation of the problems, objectives, and principles involved in the organization of a school program. Perhaps the greatest contribution made by the author in this report is to be found in his treatment of the primary aims of physical education. He shows how the big-muscle activities must be organized as an essential and bulky phase of child life, and then how these big-muscle activities must be organized in such ways as to secure their inherent values for the development of the fundamental intellectual, emotional, nervous, and organic powers underlying efficiency in life. Mr. Hetherington has had much experience and much success both as a teacher and as a supervisor of physical education. His theories, therefore, have been submitted to the test of experiment in school work and on the playground. They are the conclusions derived from long observation and much experimentation as well as from thought and study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Special Kinesiology of Educational Gymnastics Since the second edition of The Swedish System of Educational Gymnastics became exhausted, and a third edition was rendered necessary, I have used the opportunity to rewrite and elaborate the book so as to make it more suitable as a text-book for students of gymnastics. While I have deemed it desirable to change the title into Special Kinesiology, - it being a treatise on the mechanics, effects, and classification of special exercises, - the subject-matter still describes the Swedish system of educational gymnastics. I consider the change warranted, partly because of the vaster scope of the book, partly because gymnastics is fast passing into the stage where prefixes of nationality must disappear, and where the broadness of its spirit must leave its imprint even on the name. This, however, does not oppose the fact that Swedish gymnastics must be the basis of all rational gymnastics, since, to-day, it is the only system whose details have been elucidated by and derived from mechanics, anatomy, physiology, and psychology, and whose theory has survived the scrutiny of scientists all over the world; so that, whatever the name or form of the gymnastics of the future, the Swedish system will be its frame, as, even now, we see it transforming and absorbing all so-called systems.
