The Pedagogy of Physical Training: With Special Reference to Formal Exercises (1922)

Explication of the present education system reveals that core values of education have been thrown to the winds from the central stage. We are drifting aimlessly from within to without; from Apollonian to Dionysian approaches of life, with education undergoing undesirable radical changes in its tenor, substance and purpose, losing its roots of human values. This book contains a cornucopia of unconventional concepts on education and ethics, rooted in conventional wisdom; it showcases the current global concerns and draws our attention to the imperative of combating illiteracy, ignorance, and unrighteousness. This eminently readable book is a nonpareil, nay, a fabulous one with a treasure trove of pithy and inspirational articles, cerebral paradigms, and incisive parables with creative interpretations, hooking the reader to the compelling book. Education institutions would love to grab the book. It is a must- read for all classes of readers. To miss it is to miss something precious in life.
