Description
Excerpt from Exercise in Education and Medicine
The recognition of physical education by teachers has been retarded by dabblers and self-elected professors of one or other systems, whose extravagant claims have done much to obscure the real educational value of neuromuscular training; for the result of physiologic research in the growth and development of the nervous system is just beginning to be applied in the classification and design of exercise, to harmonize it with the conclusions of proved science.
Exercise has so many points of contact with education. It is so intricately related to mental, moral, and social training, each of which alone is so partial and incomplete, that the progressive educationalist is now compelled to study its bearing on all three.
