Further on, in the body of his work, Locke comes to what we should now call physical training proper. He recognizes that “besides what is to be had from study and books, there are other accomplishments necessary for a gentleman, to be got by exercise, and to which time is to be allowed, and for which masters must be had. Dancing being that which gives graceful motions all the life, and above all things, manliness and a becoming confidence to young children, I think it cannot be learned too early.... As for the jigging part, and the figures of dances, I count that little or nothing, farther than as it tends to perfect graceful carriage. Music ... wastes so much of a young man’s time to gain but a moderate skill in it ... that amongst all accomplishments I think I may give it the last place.... Fencing, and riding the great horse, are looked upon as so necessary parts of breeding that it would be thought a great omission to neglect them: the latter of the two, being for the most part to be learned only in great towns, is one of the best exercises for health which is to be had in those places of ease and luxury ... and ... is of use to a gentleman, both in peace and war.... As for fencing, it seems to me a good exercise for health, but dangerous to the life, the confidence of their skill being apt to engage in quarrels those that think they have learned to use their swords.... If ... a man be to prepare his son for duels, I had much rather mine should be a good wrestler than an ordinary fencer; which is the most a gentleman can attain to in it, unless he will be constantly in the fencing school, and every day exercising.... “I would (also) have him learn a trade, a manual trade; nay, two or three, but one more particularly.... Manual arts, which are both got and exercised by labor, do many of them by that exercise not only increase our dexterity and skill, but contribute to our health too; especially such as employ us in the open air....” He “is not for painting;” but proposes “one, or rather both these, viz., gardening or husbandry in general, and working in wood, as a carpenter, joiner, or turner; these being fit and healthy recreations for a man of study or business.”
