BEAVER, PENN’A, FRIDAY, FEBRURYI4.IB73.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
Delivered Before the BeaTer OTedlcal
Society by one of Its Members.
“Mena Sana in Corpori Sana.”
A sound mind iq a sound body ; is in*
deed a short but full description of “Ideal
Man.*’ He that is the fortunate possessor
of these two valuable gifts of nature can
truly be considered as perfect. But In
order to Insure the one we must first se*
cure the other, and the proper manner to
attain "this desirable end shall be the sub*
ject for consideration.
We find that physical education Is de
fined to be that science which famishes
the principles and rules for bodily educa
tion. For this purpose it borrows from
physiology a knowledge of the functions,
and from hygiene a knowledge 01 the ef
fects of the various agents, external of
the body, by which these functions are
regularly and harmoniously carried on, so
as to secure a full and proportioned de
velopment of the organs, Increase of the
strength, and preservation of the health
of the body.
Physical education also looks to the
means of preventing deviations -from the
normal conditions of the organs—health •
whether these consists in weakness, and'
Infirmities of the body in general, or in
deformites and disproportions of organs
in particular.'
The period during which physical edu
cation is most judiciously applicable, and
daring which it exerts not beneficially,
its plastic powers is that of childhood,
i, e., ,the time that intervenes between
birth and adolecsence. Some ancient
philosophers jeven claim, that physical* a 8
well as mental education, begins with'
uterim life, and indeed it does notrequlfts
’the authority of illustrious nAmea to coair
vince ns that the embryo, Is susceptihft
to very great efiange, both mantally and
physically, if we remember.that the whole:
universe individually and coleciivelfv|ls|
continually undergoing changes. Pet;
Uou in
in its fullnessia the constant aim of crea
tive energy; dynamic force is but the
ceaslees energy of nature to improve.
When 1 say that physical education be
gins at the time of birth, I do not say
that it ends at the time of adolescence.
In this case at least, theory and prac
tice, ia not conflicting, and what
“Tacitus” says of education generally, thn;
“learning begins at the cradle, and ends at
the grave,” is emmineotly true in this
case. This is not at all a strained
view of the subject. The case of the cele
braied Venitian Ludovico Cornaro, is a
striking example of this kind, not be
cause it is the only one, but because it is
better known than many thousand others.
To quote his own words from his work
“Discord dilla vita longae et sobriae in
speaking of his own case, he says:
"Having completely spent the first in
stallment of life in dissipation and intem
perance of every kind, I effected a second
lease of life at the age of sixty years,
while at the brink of ruin, etc.” How
well he husbanded and improved his
vital energies, the old age be attained
is evidence. Having lived to the age
of one hundred years he attributes,
and correctly, the extraordinary resulis,
to the strictly methodical and tem
perate life be lead, daring, as be called
it, his’second lease of life.
Claudius Tiberius is a similar case,
whose art and science bad to come to the
rescue of failing nature. The fact that
ihe was considered an idiot and Imbecile
in bis youth, saved him from the band of
his nephew, Caligula, the assassin of his
brothers, who aspired to the throne of
ancient Rome.
And if hlsi<Claudim,) reign was not
equal perhaps in statesmanship to that of
some of his illustrious predecessors, it
evinced at least, a most remarkable ener
gy in its execution. Many more suclv
cases might be cited; ancient history is
full of them. The great creator Demos
thenes had to overcome by physical train
ing, what nature had neglected to bless
him with. To improve his feminine
voice and strengthen his weak lungs, he
would repair to the sea shore, and deliver
his celebrated speeches to the roaring
waves of the Mediterranean. To cu|e
himself of the hahit of stamriiering and
stuttering, he held pebbles under his
tongue while speaking. And the awk
wardness of position while delivering his
orations, he overcame before the looking
glass.
Indeed the ancients were perhaps .more
thoroughly alive to the Importance of
physical culture than the modern law
givers, and some of the old nations have
brought physical edncation t« a very high
state of perfection; though it may be said
1 that the primitive mode of warfare of the
times, compelled it, It cannot be denied
that such men as “Arutip," "Plato,',
nasßhis -two dollars per
“Ariitotle" and “ JHogonea V looked on
physical.training from an entire different
stand pibint; of which the interest they
took in the gymnasiums of old,: is ample
evidence. “Aiiatotle,” “Plato” and “An
tiaihenea'\all taught in the gymn&sinms
of Athens for many years. Athens had
nodes! than five fit'the time of Plato.
the three principle ones, and: In: which
the above named - three philosophers
taught, were: The “Lyceum," (Lyke-
ioi4) Akademlc and Kynosarges.
Vlrtrno, in his admirable work on An
cient Architecture, describes them as a se
ries of spacious buildings connected to-
gether by large hallsj'and surrounded by
extensive walls. The separate buildings
were each large enough to accommodate
many thousand people, and so arranged
(hat several .branches could be taught and
practiced without interferriog with; each
Other. The whole was divided in two
mean sections. The gymnasium proper,
under which was meant the place where
intellectual exercises were held, and
where the philaophera and other literary
Characters taught; and the Palastrum,
where corporal exercises were going on,
which was again subdivided into two sub-
jections: one where the professional ath
letes practiced, and the other where per-
sona of all classes and pursuits gathered
either to practice themselves or to look
bn.: The buildings were generally very
elegantly furnished in the interior, the
walls adorned with costly paintings rep-
resenting prominent men, heroes, gods,
and other allegoric works of art. while
the exterior was decorated with statues,
such as those of Theseus, Herakles or
Hercules, but always with those of
Hermes.
ffbe gymnasiums were originally in-
tended for gymnastic pursuits alone, in
troduced from Crete or Sparta to Greece,
ihd from there to other countries.
Aristocles, and the other philosophers,
continued with the plan of exercises and
Intellectual training, which gradually
gymna&tlos ln a
great measure, mainly because the profes
sional athletes slowly snnk in the estima
tion of the better class of people, so that
they finally were looked upon as a worth-
less class of men. Aeschylus , in his work
*'Veto'd Fabulis," &c., calls them (the
professional athletes) “a set of gluttons
and bad men.” He says: Among all the
evils which poisoned Greece there is none
more virulent than that which this the
ateletes spread,” &c.
It appears from that time on, gymnas
tics gradually sunk in popular esteem,
and finally almost fell into oblivion. Yet
we find from time to time, undoubted
traces of the results of imitations of the
gymnaseums, and theiy respective exer
cises, as of old—for example we find what
beyond doubt refers to athletics) exer>
cises, iu Paul, Corinthians, chapter ix,
verse 25 and other places. And so may
perhaps the Tourney’s of the middle ages
be clasesd, if they are not more identical
with the Olympic plays which were origi,
nally more of a religious nature, and from
which they particularly differed in that
respect, and also in this, that any woman
but a Priest of Ceres, who attempted to be
present at the exercises, was seized,
thrown over on abyss of rocks and killed;
while in the Tourney the presence of
ladies was particularly Invited to give
lustre to the feast With their charming
smiles, brilliant and costly toilets, and one
of their number was generally selected to
crown the successful knight, and present
him. amid imposing ceremonies with the
customary prize. But this also fell iu dis
repute, particularly so after the death of
Henry the second of France, who died
from injuries received in a round with
Count Montgomery by a splinter of the
lance of the Counts penetrating his (the
kings) right eye. Pope Inocent the
second, had already forbidden the decent
burial of those who fell In the Tourneys,
and so the two incidents together vir
tually put an end to those plays.
The Carrousels were in Europe the
next attempt to establish gysnastic train
ing on a general plan but failed, because
they were, so to say, monopolized by the
aristocratic classes.
What success the turners of this centu
rjpsill have, remains to be seen.
bring physical training down to a
general as well as popular plan of educa
tion, is not a very easy task, and it is not
my desire to undertake it; but I will simply
try to point out in a few remarks, some of
the most general and grave errors com
mitted, as wml as the most judicious man
ner to assist nature in her effort at form
ing the most complicated being, possibly
most perfect.
The first cry of the newly born baby,
translated from nature’s language is:
"Air! givens dir!" This exclamation is
generally answered with the silly remark,
'•the baby has strong lungs ." Without a
US’ ADVANCE.
thought bow these lungs are-to be suppli-
ed, and of the extent of exercise which
they require. But the body of the little
stranger is rolled up like a defunct an-
cient Egyptian In his mummy folds.
First comes the belly band, rolled on as
tight as possible as an alleged support for
the navel, to prevent umbilical hernia,
bat with just as likely an effect of Us
causing inguinal hernia. Its still more in-
jurious effect is by do compressing the ab-
domen as to prevent its expansion and the
decent of the diaphragm, and consequent
ly the dilatations of the chest lengthways-
After the roller comes the long flowing
petticoat, with Us broad upper band, cov-
ering the stomach and chest, and com
pressed by tight pinning so that the in-
tercostal muscles are prevented from en-
enlarging the cavity of the chest in a
lateral direction, and thus in two direo
t ions is the capacity of the chest dimin’
{Shed, and the lungs, in a corresponding
degree, are prevented from receiving
their due quantity of air. Then to make
bad worse, the little new comer is by the
unreasonable affection of the mother
subjected to partial suffocation by allow
ing it to sleep in her arms, under the bed
clothes, which are drawn np to her chin,
leaving scarcely an opening of the scant-
est kind for the access ok air to the in
fant’s lungs.
So soon as the washing and dressing, ae
eundvm artem , is completed the busy nurse
deems it a matter of grave and prime ne
nessity to introduce something into its
stomach, without waiting to ascertain if
the mother cannot at once famish a sup
ply of milk. This ought by all means to
he the first, and for tnonths the only food
given to the child. If the milk is not
ready to be drawn at the moment, a pe
riod of twenty-four hours may bn avowed
to elapse without any suffering to the
child. Certainly it ought to be saved
from the inevitable sugar and water, gru-
el and molasses "and worse staff: With
still more reason ought it to be protected
trom any psrgaUve matter, gifen-uodeiu,
the plea of emptying the bowels of the
meconium. , The first milk of the mother
meets all these wants admirably.
For some months after birth the infant
ought to be bathed morning and evening,
with due reference to the time of giving
the breast. As a general rule every kind
of bath should be given when the stomach
is empty, or at least when the digestion
is over- The best plan is to immerse the
whole of the body of the child at oncer- in
warm water. Ordinary washing is often
performed so badly that successive por
tions of the body are omitted, and evapo
ration is going on the while from parts
before they are dried,, producing an un
equal temperature of the body and cans*
ing colds and other disorders. After six
months the tepid bath will replace the
warm bath, and once a day will be snffi
dent to use it. Still the constitution of
the individual may call for a modification
in the temperature of the bath.
In the first four months we find the
flowing petticoats, which, were it not for
the tight breast band, would answer the
purpose for warmth very well, as far as
the lower half of the body is concerned.
But ere long we find the other extremejja
dress still snffidently tight around the
waist and shoulders, but too short, not
reaching to the knees, exposing the lower
part of the body, used to and tender from
the warmth of the long dress,-to the some
time very chilled air.
In the female attire the style is again,
after soma years, changed to what is call
ed "full dress,” but which is often so cur
tailed as to leave so large a portion of the
chest and shoulders bare that the inquisi
tive observer is sometime at a loss to
know the precise line of division be
tween the part which fashion claims for
exposure and the other which modesty
would conceal. He finds the boundary to
be too changeable; wishes that more had
been left to the imagination, and less to
be condemned by good taste. In dressing
the male less attention is paid to fashion,
but still too much.
For some time after birth the infant
leads comparatively a vegitative life,
gratifying its nutritive wants and sleep
ing. Gradually as months pass the inter
vals between the sleeping and waking
slates become longer and longer, until
the child 'follows the usual division of
night and day. The hours chosen for
sleep for the older child should not be
later than noon, so that time will have
elapsed for it to become weary enough to
fall asleep when evening comes, and to
rest well through the night. For the
sake of both mother and child it is very
desirable that the latter should obey early
the laws of periodicity, in its sleeping
and taking food at regular Intervals.
From the very first day of Its existence,
the infant should not be allowed to re
main at the breast longer than It Is acta-
nor to be put to it again
until a sufficient time bias elapsed.
In spme instances the infant is. a Dad .
sleeper, and in failing to get her own •
supply of sleep the nurse, and too often
the mother,. will bring on sleep in the
child by oneof the too many patent and
other medicines designed for that pur
pose. No language is sufficiently strong
enough in condemnation of so criminal'
a practice, which lays at once the foun
dation to a long train of disorders, lasting
often daring the whole course of life. .
Many a death happens where no suspi'
cion is entertained, sometimes even by •
the guilty, yet often innocent party,
which was produced by the 1 unnecessary
use of such remedies as soothing, and
cough syrups, paragoric, laudanum and ,
others to numerous to mention.. . ■ ‘
Scarcely less injurious is the exclusion
of light; children should hare the bene
fit of not only the best ventilation, but
best lighted and most cheerful rooms in
the bouse. Nor should they be interfer
ed with in their harmless gambols either
by tight dressing or otherwise.
During the spring and summer, chil
dren ought to be allowed to be out of
doors as much as possible, if practicable
on the grass or among plants. Pure fresh
air and plenty of exercise in it, will sup
plant the best French rouge,eyen from the
toilet table of a Queen, while the proper
training will make out of ah imbecile and
idiot an illustrious and miglbty Emperor.
