Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Tactics: For the Use of Schools and Gymnastic Associations Conducting English classes in gymnastics during a number of years at schools and seminaries in this city, and seeing that all the books and manuals of gymnastics that were at my disposal did not offer those movements, nor give the commands necessary for school tactics, I was prompted to translate, arrange, and write out such tactical exercises as are used in the Seminary of the Gymnastic Associations of North America, and of such as offered themselves to me during class work in the gymnasium. The following movements with their commands have been used and tested by me in girls' and boys' classes as well as in classes for grown persons. In this book, the different movements of one person (scholar) are first described, and then those of a number of persons in all connected forms. The descriptions of the various movements are held in a general manner, so as to cover all the forms under each respective head, while, in the examples given, each form is more closely described and illustrated. In the appendix are several "Marches" and "Reigen" (partly adapted) that can be used in the given form on all occassions where it is desirable to have a number of persons come into a position by a variety of movements. When, at an exhibition, etc., a class is to show the results of its work in tactics, the movements it has learned can be grouped together according to the manner of one of these "Marches" or "Reigen." Accompaning these movements with music or singing greatly adds to their attractiveness, and is recommended to all schools and societies that have music or singers at their command.
