Description
Excerpt from Anthropometry and Physical Examination: A Book for Practical Use in Connection With Gymnastic Work and Physical Education
The only reason for the appearance of this little book is the desire to meet to some extent the demand that exists for instruction in the great field of physical education, and thus to put a work of the greatest importance on a higher plane. The organization of schools in this country, for the training of teachers to take charge of the physical education of the people, is a recent development. The demand for competent instructors in this department of work has far outstripped the supply and therefore whatever will prove a help to instruction is to be welcomed, however meagre and unpretentious it may be.
The only excuse that can be urged for the imperfect and poorly-arranged character of the work is that it has been done in moments between professional cares and college duties.
I wish to express my thanks to Drs. Hitchcock of Amherst, Kellogg, Hitchcock of Cornell, Anderson, Sargent, Savage, and others, for the courtesy they have shown me in permitting the use of material that has been prepared by them at great expense of time and labor.
