Excerpt from The Genevieve Stebbins System of Physical Training The lessons in Part I. Are an epitome of all psychological physical culture, and, thoroughly carried out in daily life, will transform that life into a healthy and happy one. This system will be found to be progressive, going from the simple to the complex. It is a complete gymnastic system along aesthetic lines and has been elaborated by the author after many years' experience as teacher and director of physical training in the best schools of New York, com bined with a critical study of the carved works of ancient art. Bas-relief, alto-relief and the free figure, in vase, frieze, pillar, and temple, have been the models for much of the work. This, blended with a knowledge of medical gymnastics, makes the author bold enough to think that she is offering something of real value to the teacher and the pupil of physical culture.
