=Self-made Good Physique Through Physical Training.=—It has not
infrequently happened that, by outdoor life and physical training,
young men and women of frail constitutions have developed into
strong, robust, and even physically powerful men and women.
While membership in a well-appointed gymnasium and athletic
association offers the most favorable conditions for the symmetric
and fullest development of the body, and when possible it is advised
always to take at least a short course in physical training under the
direction of a competent instructor, yet every woman has it in her
power to very greatly improve her physical condition without these
aids.
Systematic physical training should be begun in childhood and
continued all through life.
Before twelve years of age physical training should be the same for
both sexes, and girls and boys should have their sports and games
together. The beneficial influence of this will be manifest for
both—girls will grow stronger, less timid, and more resourceful, and
boys will grow more refined and thoughtful.
