Physical education and training; Physical education and training -- History
Third-year pupils attend lectures six times a week in anatomy, the
physiology of the muscles and the nervous system, and pathology, are
further instructed in the theory and practice of medical gymnastics, and
assist in giving treatment to patients who visit the Institute. Women in
both courses receive separate instruction throughout, for there is no
such thing as coeducation at the school. Their theoretical work includes
anatomy, physiology, the theory of bodily movements and of pedagogical
gymnastics, medical gymnastics, and pathology; and there is practise in
pedagogical and medical gymnastics, and opportunity to teach gymnastics
daily, under supervision, at one or the other of two private schools.
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE CENTRAL INSTITUTE (1912).
On April 8, 1910, the King of Sweden appointed a special committee to
consider plans for the reorganization of the Royal Central Institute
of Gymnastics, and the provision of a new site and buildings. Their
report,[133] dated March 7, 1912, recommends numerous radical and
far-reaching changes in the venerable institution, and would substitute
civilian for military teachers of gymnastics in the great majority of
Swedish secondary schools. As was to be expected, it has called out much
discussion on either side. Whatever the outcome may be, the document
remains a memorable study of every public aspect of physical education,
and the committee has rendered a service of the very highest value, not
only to the Swedes, but to all who are confronted by the problem of
training teachers for the physical education of the people.[134]
