The book ""Syllabus and Manual of Physical Training: For Public Schools (1917)"" by Laurence Samuel Hill is a comprehensive guide for physical training in public schools. The book provides a detailed syllabus for physical education classes, including exercises and activities for students of different ages and abilities. It emphasizes the importance of physical fitness and offers practical advice on how to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance.The manual also includes information on the benefits of physical training, such as improved health and mental well-being, as well as tips for teachers on how to motivate and engage students in physical activity. It also covers topics such as hygiene, nutrition, and first aid.Written in 1917, the book reflects the prevailing attitudes and beliefs of the time, including gender roles and racial stereotypes. However, it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of physical education and the development of public school curricula.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
