To the Third Section Department of General Subjects is intrusted the subject of Military Physical Training. It is easily I seen that to be an instructor in this phase of work the officer should know how the various forms of exercise are taken and have a fair degree of proficiency in the CSX rf-XX X,-.-X work himself. In order that they be able to serve as of- ficials and assist in developing intra-mural physical activi- ties arid properly teach or supervise the formal physical exercises in the organizations they may hereafter command a practical course rather than a theoretical course is given. By the applicatory method of having the officers act- ually performing the physi- cal training they are to later impart to their men the Stu- dent derives a considerable personal benefit in addition to a further knowledge in the subject. The student sudden- ly becomes aware that the confined duties of the past years have sapped a consider- able amount of his suppleness, strength and endurance. This awakening is very apparent ab b E B .. X I I -nn I - x l - 0 t 1' W if I I !- ' S. ff? f I b lzlvx fn 4 . 5 iiif I it if f . '21 H - if' I i E X Www if ' , 5 - 'I N. 'I 'W :Gul 1 I vii
