Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of Physical Training This bibliography is presented to the teachers and students of physical training at the earnest request of the Physical Directors' Society of the Young Men's Christian Associations. A committee was appointed by the society at the World's Fair meeting in St. Louis in the summer of 1904. This committee consisted of J. H. Mccurdy, J. H. Scott, and George T. Hepbron. They were instructed to pub lish a physical training bibliography. J. H. Scott and George T. Hep bron were made responsible for the raising of the funds necessary for publication. The financial committee secured over one hundred ad vance orders for the book, and in addition subscriptions from the fol lowing gentlemen: M. B. Rideout, W. Y. Reithard, George T. Hep bron, W. H. Ball, W. G. Truex, George J. Fisher, M. D., C. R. H. Jackson, J. B. Modesitt, J. W. Waters, C. E. Beckett, Fred West, W. H. Flood, A. B. Wegener, E. A. Sovereign, Frank Killam, G. F. Poole, M. D., George L. Meylan, M. D. The preparation of the bibliography was referred to J. H. Mccurdy. The object of this work has been to present a subject index of the physical training literature which would be helpful to the physical director and other students of physical training. The inspiration for this work came from Mr. J. T. Bowne some sixteen years ago; the preparation of the material began in 1895. The first task was the ar rangement of a method of classification; this was prepared jointly by J. T. Bowne and J. H. Mccurdy. The third edition of the classifica tion appears in this book.
