This ruling has doubled the size of the gym classes and has also created a class which meets at 8:15 in the morning. The instructors have devised exercises to develop strength, stamina, and endurance and to promote bodily coordination. The gym classes are designed to develop the desires and techniques of being well in the students and to make of them happy, active, cooperative human beings able to stand the strains and stresses of present day living. The regular classes go in for more com- petitive sports to develop team play, but the 8:15 gym classes concentrate on exercises tor body health. One absence is allowed in each term.
