Excerpt from Body Mechanics and Health
We believe that the highest aim of physical education is to develop human beings best fitted to cope with the conditions of modern civilization. If physical education is to accomplish this purpose, it must be presented from a more fundamental basis than it has been in the past. The authors have come to this conclusion through wide observation and through experience in directing physical training in a school system of two thousand pupils.
We are convinced that the day must come when the type of work here outlined is better standardized and more generally adopted by physical directors and teachers. These same principles form the basis of corrective and individual gymnastics as taught by physio-therapists. When they are applied to larger groups it seems obvious that normal growth and development can effectively be gained through this particular approach to physical education.
