EXERCISE FOR GIRLS.
THE APPLICATION OF CALISTHENICS
COMMENTED UPON.
Physicians and Members of tb Board of
Education of Philadelphia Express a Di
versity of Opinion All Acre, nowever.
That Some Exercls Necessary.
A number of prominent men, who are
in a position to know, expressed their
Ideas in regard to tho effect produced by
the use of calisthenics. The Bubject,
which was discussed by the Homoeopathic
Medical society, is thoroughly familiar
to them, and their opinions varied to a
considerable degree. The men who gave
their ideas so freely included Beveral
members of the board of education and
Drs. Korndoerfer, Mohr, Van liaun and
Betts.
Superintendent SlacAlister 6ajd: "Ju
dicious exercise is essential to everybody.
The lady who teaches calisthenics in the
Girls' ' Normal school understands her
business. There may bo some pupils to
whom the use of these exercises is in
jurious, and in that case the fault lies
with tho parents. Calisthenics as prac
ticed at the Normal school are not vio
lent, and are not injurious as far as I
know."
TOE DOCTORS fRE CE-NXIES.
A- S. Jenks, of tho Normal school
committee: "The doctors who made 6uch
a statement are old grannies. After a
child has been sitting in a school room
for live hours a little exercise is needed.
Calisthenics have been practiced in the
Normal school for fifteen years that I
know of, and I never heard of a, single
case of sickness, Pf bjid'heafth resulting.
The weights used are light ones, and
would not harm an infant. They are a
great benefit and should be used more
extensively than they are. The chest $a
expanded and the msyie g-toi full
p?ay. I:U wager that none of the physi
cians ever, saw the pupils at exercise."
Dr. Mohr: I have been misunderstood,
gn' this question. I never intended to say
that calisthenics were generally inju
rious. With some scholars they are, but
with the majority the pupil's health is
benefited. They are not nearly so hurt
ful as the long sessions which a scholar,
is obliged to sit put n. noi get their
;eguiar midday niea)."
Dr. Kbmdoerfer: "I do not wish, it to.
be'understood that I am. finding fault
with the boar4 pf P ducatiqn. I ana not.
I only desire, to point out an error ana
show how it can be remedied. The pres
ent system of calisthenics is a bad one.
They should use Lewis' system. At pres
ent the exercise is entirely too violent.
The arms are thrown out and upwards
with great force. Why, t's enough' to
tear the child's phest 'io pieces. Then,
f gaW, ihe "children are told to bend their
bodies backward. They do so, and, as a
result, the child comes home and com
plains of a sore back. I advocate the
use of light weights, 6low movements,
increasing in motion only as the muscles
and joints become accustqmed " to "ttie
tapid movement. The practice should
pe repeated daily, and not eti fqr ft weefc
at a time, as it is, now,"
TOE METHOD NOT PROPERLY APPLIED.
Dr Van Baun: "I indorse calisthenics
when they are properly applied to the
individual pupil I consider the method
at tho Girls' Normal school open to criti
cism. The suits cause the renoya o'f
the ordinary skirs ard, are much shorter
od oi fighter 'material. The selection
find1 length of time devoted to the exer
cise b often injudicious, frequently caus
ing fatigue. I know that Class 0, No, 8.
is exercised 6very othee Friday for two
nsecutiyp hours, while a number of B
classes had an hour dally for two weeks.
An ordinary pupil cannot stand such
work as this."
Dr. Betts: "I consider the require
wen
ments of the Girls' Normal school, to?
gether with the long hqurs, as too great
etrain on. the health of many of the
tiuDils. I have frequently noticed that
i tirls' began their work in the fall with
j ruddy faces and all the evidence of
' good health, and by the following June
they looked wan and tired ana com
plained of poor health."
I Simon Gratz: "The doctors who object
to calisthenics in the Normal school dont
know what they are talking about. The
weights are of light wood and the motion
is not violent or jerky. The dresses are
of heavy woolen material and are muoh
warmer than their ordinary street dresses.
I have never known of a girl complain
ing sinco the method has been in use.

will be placed in the collector's hands, and costs added.
3 "mffiF T3i
and tho School of Practice scholars, little
C-year-old tots, aro especially delighted."
A girl in Class B: "It's absurd to say
that tho exercises aro too violent. The
force of the movement is not sufficient to
injure a baby. As to the scholars looking
wan and tired,' that is rather duo to the
overcrowded condition of tho classes and
the lack of proper ventilation, which we
often experience. Tho exercises do not
continue for two hours on any occasion,
and our teacher is very considerate of our
comfort." Philadelphia Times.
It Costs Five Cent a Drop.
"It's oil of roses," said the drug clerk.
"Look out!" and ho made a dive with
tho stopple and it struck the reporter's
palm. Half an hour later the writer had
occasion to remember the incident, for
tho scent of the roses kept lingering,
Ablutions were no good, for- tho sicken-,
jng odor pervade everything. It cre
ated a headache and an aversion for
attar of roses that will last forever. "It
comes high," said the drug clerk, "and
you ought not to kick. It's five cents a
drop for folks who care to pay for it. I
had been putting some of it into a bottle
of smelling salts when I daubed it at
you. Curious, though, how tastes differ.
At a ball in Lewis ton this winter
dropped ten drops pf pi) pf roses on. a.
young fellow's vest. It cost him half a
dollar, and w-hen he went out of the
store he left a trail of roses behind him.
I wouldn't have had it on my clothing
for a hundred dollars and have been
compelled to wear it. Til bet that he

A Strang;" Man.
One hardly expects a minister of re
ligion to be a scoli'er, but Isaac Vcm
sius, tha eccentric Dutch scliQlur. who
died on Feb. Id, IGbi), furnished a
strange, exception to accepted usage.
Charles II had made him canon of
Windsor in 1GC-1, soon after his ar
rival in England. Never was a cleri
cal ofiico under-taken by a man who
was so entirely unfit for it. AJthough
a canon of Windsor, he did not be
lieve in the divine origin of the Chris
tian religion, and ho treei religious
matters with contempt, although in
other things, he" was exceedingly
credulous.' " Charles II etneo said 6l
of him: "This learned divine is a

A New Fubrlo.
A new textile ha; len discovered in
Russia on the borders of tho Caspian sea.
The plant i3 called kanaff Ly the native
and attains a height of ten fett. From
it a chemist has obtained a textile mat
ter which is soft, elastic and silky, gives
a thread which is very tough and can be
bleached without injury. The stuffs
manufactured out of kanaff can be suc
cessfully dyed in every shade of color,
and would compete with any of the
ordinary furnishing materials now in
use. But it is particularly for making
sacks, tarpaulin, ropes, etc., tliat this
new textile, from its cheapness and its
extraordinary resisting power, might
defy all competition. New York Tele-eram.
