Pàgina 30 - Jolly is the miller who lives by the mill, The wheel goes round with a right good will; One hand in the hopper and the other in the sack, The right steps forward, and the left steps back.
Pàgina 2 - Habits even determine the deeper strata of belief, thought is repressed action, and deeds, not words, are the language of complete men. The motor areas are closely related and largely identical with the psychic, and muscle culture develops brain-centers as nothing else yet demonstrably does. Muscles are the vehicles of habituation, imitation, obedience, character, and even of manners and customs. For the young, motor education is cardinal, and is now coming to due recognition, and for all, education...
Pàgina 76 - The first member of each team is driver and takes his position inside the drivers' lines, with his back to his own team. The object of the game is to kick the ball over the goal lines, but under the arms of the opposing team. If this is done, a score of two points is made by the side having kicked the ball.

Pàgina 5 - Plexus of motor habits," that "Man is what he does," in other words, we know that in order to be really efficient men, we must not only be healthy in body but must have a healthy and rational mind.

Pàgina 5 - It helps the child by counteracting the evil effects of sedentary occupations, it fosters character and civic virtue, it develops the motor brain, makes intellectual training easier and the whole school life more attractive, and last but not least, it makes the teacher more attractive to the children, becoming as much a boon to the one as to the other. We are more than ever learning that education for service demands on the part of the teacher a knowledge of the whole child and not a knowledge of...
Pàgina 4 - ... the big groups of muscles are involved. It is at least equal to gymnastics as far as these are used as preventive measures, because play and games are a fundamental demand in the life of young children, and it is only because school interferes too much with these fundamental elements of child-life that later corrective measures become necessary. If our educational methods and laboratories and machinery conformed more to elementary child life, less corrective measures would be needed. But we appreciate...
Pàgina 5 - How are we going to know about the "wrinkles" in a child's character and how can we find out the "queer" habits he may be developing, unless we give him a chance to expose them? It is a teacher's business to iron out the wrinkles and to train away the queer habits. One recess every morning and afternoon is, however, not enough for growing children. We have undoubtedly taken a decided step towards better school hygiene in the establishment of two organized recesses. I would most earnestly recommend...
