When, how- ever, the child first comes to school her natural desire for movement is necessarily restricted for purposes of organization and discipline. This restriction must be compensated by frequent opportunities for free movement, which should chiefly take the form of play. The exercises should then be gradually increased until they take the form of regular lessons in all the following types: at Riverbend the Educational and Remedial are given in the form of Pehr Henrik Lingls Swedish System and Neils Bukh's Danish System, to produce discipline, strength, control and courage, recreative in basketball, badminton, volley ball, soft ball, tennis, all organized games and folk dancing, swimming and riding, to make you nice, jolly and happy,--Ha really good sport , aesthetic in natural and Greek Dancing to express by gesture and interpretation.
