Excerpt from Why Do We Teach Gymnastics? Gymnastics But this is our contention, on the correctness of which we stand or fall, that gymnastics increases the general effectiveness and usefulness of the average indi vidual coming under its in¿uence to such a degree that the State would be well repaid by a higher level of her citizens for the labor and expense of the general intro duction of this subject. We argue for the introduction of gymnastics into the schools, because the school is the agency by which the State lays the foundation for the usefulness of the individual, and because it is through the public school that the greatest multitude may be reached.
