HANDBOOK 



LIGHT GYMNASTICS. 



By LUCY B. HUNT, 



Instructor in Gymnastics at Smith (Female) College, Northampton, XLa**. 



Illustrated. Cloth, 50 cts. 



" This manual is admirably adapted for the use of teachers aim 

 pupils in public and private schools, and in seminaries and col- 

 leges, as well as a guide to health-giving exercises in the homes, 

 especially for girls. Well-arranged series of exercises are given 

 in free gymnastics, wand exercises, ring exercises, dumb-bells, 

 procession, mutual-help exercises, bean-bags, inarching, and a 

 practical chapter on dress suitable for gymnastic exercises to be 

 taken in. All these exercises have been carefully selected and 

 thoroughly tested, and can be safely practised by any person in 

 ordinary health." — Journal of Education. 



"Taking the system of Dr. Dio Lewis as a foundation, Miss 

 Hunt has, during her experience as a teacher, taken from, added 

 to, and altered various exercises, until the course, so to speak, 

 has assumed the order now presented in her little book, a course 

 which, if carefully followed, will make the maidens of America 

 better fitted to become its mothers.'* — N. Y. Mail and Express. 



" H i.« designed as a guide to teachers of girls, but it will be 

 found a ase also to such as wish to practice the exercises at 

 home." — N. Y. World. 



" A volume so very diminutive that one can hardly realize that 

 it contains nearly all that one needs for the teaching or practice 

 of light gymnastics, and even more than Dr. Lewis's clever and 

 amusing volume." — Budget. 



" This work has many advantages. It is inexpensive, it is con- 

 venient, it is condensed, it is clear. It is careful to avoid any 

 strained, unnatural, or ungraceful positions, it does not attempt 

 to make a gospel of gymnastics, as some fanatics have done." — 

 N. Y. Christian Advocate. 



u A useful little manual, by a teacher of much experience, whc 

 embodies in this little work the best results of her knowledg 

 and practice of the modern system of gymnastic exercises fo 

 girls' schools and colleges; and also for use at home." —Jena 

 June.
