Preface
Two years ago, the writer published ''Rational Athletics for Boys." ''New Rational Athletics for Boys and Girls" is not a revision of the former work, but an entirely new book, fundamentally different, in that the author has definitely discarded the "Grade Standards" on which his system was formerly based. Moreover, in this book he has completed the program for girls, which was only outlined in the earlier publication.
The present work includes several plans for taking up this system of physical training, proceeding from the very simplest form to the complete system, so that the teacher in any school can take up the work and develop it just as far as his judgment and the special conditions warrant.
The present general movement toward "preparedness," the new recognition of the necessity for physical fitness, and the enactment of laws requiring more attention to physical training in the schools combine to give this book a more than usual timeliness.
