Excerpt from Physical Training for the City Schools of Michigan How Shall these helpless and ignorant young ones become strong and-wise? Partly through physical development as determined by inner laws governing the growth of the species, and partly through occasional touches of necessity in spite of the screen of parental care, but chiefly through Nature's jolly Old nurse, Play, who charms children into using every power as it develops, and into finding out everything possible about their environment from the heavens above to the earth beneath.
