A method much in use among nursery governesses in England is to lay a child, face downward, on a table or across a lounge, or on some other surface large enough to support the trunk of the body but leaving arms and legs free; then to put the youngster through the motions of swimming. This la good for tba back as well as for the arms and legs, and the child may be taught to regard It aa a sort of romp. In laying special atresa on the advantages of keeping the baby athlete-amusewhile going through his various exercises, it la nut alone to avert the tedium of routine, so distasteful to the baby mind, but because a child that la amused will throw hia whole energy and vitality into the exercise, and put hia whole mind on IL And 1m this way alone can child, baby or man achieve athletic success.

Hoop rolling Is splendid exercise for making the right arm strong, for training the eye to accuracy and for making the whole body dextrous. The usual disadvantage In hoop rolling la that It develops the little athlete's right side more than his left. To avoid him to hold the hoop this. stirk In Ids lert hand and thus guide the hoop as often as he guides It with the right. In every exercise encourage the use of the left hand and arin equally with the right. This may not make your boy absolutely ambidextrous i though some doctors claim it will i. but It will give him an equal development of both sides of the body, which not one alhlete In twenty possesses.
