Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Delsarte System of Physical Culture As mentioned above, we have, in the study of the Delsarte method, first the physical culture which teaches us the art of withdrawing the natural nervous force from the different members of the entire body and enables us to control that force by the action of the brain, and then to govern the muscles artistically, developing every set equally until the limbs assume an appearance of strength and symmetry and allow perfect freedom of action, which is synonymous with grace and beauty. It stands to reason that, if our muscles are free and flexible, all our movements will become correspondingly free, and we will feel new life and vigor through lack of restraint. It is like oiling machinery and then setting it in motion. The exercises of this system act as a health restorer. They are not violent, yet they are wonderfully strengthening by reason of the slowness of the movements. They induce proper habits of respiration and develop the chest admirably. They also serve to strengthen the back; and many people suffer from weak and 'painful backs because they unconsciously carry them selves badly at all times, but especially when walking, the chest being drawn in and the abdomen thrown forward, or else the chest and shoulders being held far back and the abdomen thrown forward. Either posture gives a dis tinct but reversed curve to the spine and throws the entire weight of the torso upon the muscles of the back. If the back is to be relieved of all strain and an erect, easy carriage acquired in walking, the chest must predominate and the hips be well drawn back; but those who have always carried themselves incorrectly will find it almost impossible to attain the proper action until the muscles have become flexible through the practice of the exercises which will be described farther on, and which, if faithfully performed, cannot fail to produce beneficial effects. As the exercises are of a soothing nature and regulate the nervous force, they are beneficial for nervousness, because they teach us repose - that bless ing possessed by so very few. Many people quickly tire themselves in performing their ordinary duties, because they lack repose and give certain muscles unnecessary work through bad habits acquired and through lack of proper exercise. These persons assert that they are not strong; in some cases this may be true, but in many more instances their weakness proceeds from a cause which might easily be removed. It is also true that many people donot relax their vital energy even in sleep, and as a consequence they do not receive as much benefit from sleep as do those who can give themselves up to perfect repose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A System of Physical Culture: Prepared Expressly for Public School Work The demand of teachers and others for the analysis of Physical Culture for Public Schools, by Louise Preece, has led to this work. Every exercise can be taken by the pupils when standing in the aisles beside their seats. The writer has aimed to make the explanations clear, but at the same time as brief as possible, that the directions may be easily followed without wading through much abstract matter. Although no written work can take the place of a living teacher, it is hoped that this analysis will nevertheless be of assistance to those who have never before studied Physical Culture, until they may have the instruction of a competent teacher.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Culture: First Book of Exercises in Drill, Calisthenics, and Gymnastics It may, perhaps, be unnecessary to remark that Hygiene and Physical Culture are concurrent subjects, and that one is incomplete without the other. In fact the pupils taking an active interest in physical culture will become alive to the importance of developing all the faculties of the body and mind to the highest standard. When they find that the sub jcet of physical culture covers a vast field, including much more than is generally understood by the term that it means more than making the muscles hard and strong; more than depth of lung more than capacity for endurance that it is the adapt ing of the human body for all its possibilities, they will natur ally and of their own accord turn their attention to Hygiene, which will then become to them a living fact of vital impor tance.
