"The New Code, in allotting a portion of time in school hours to Physical Exercise, has recognised the supreme importance of a free use of all the limbs and muscles as a means of acquiring a healthy body and a healthy mind, or mens sana in corpore sano. ... I have introduced some dancing steps, beause eminent medical men have stated that 'no exercise develops the muscular and nervous energies so well as dancing.'" -- Preface.
