HOW TO GET STRONG
This is a question quite worthy of the consideration of every teacher of girls in our land; and a paragraph full of suggestion, not only to every parent having a child's interests in his or her keeping; but to every spirited girl herself as well.
Every school-girl in America could be daily practised in a few simple exercises; calling for no costly, intricate, or dangerous apparatus; taking a little time, but yet expanding her lungs, and keeping them expanded; invigorating her circulation, strengthening her digestion; giving every muscle and joint of her body vigorous play; and so keeping her toned up, and strong enough to be free from much danger either of incurring serious disease, or any of the lighter ailments so common among us. As to her usefulness, no matter where her lot is to be cast, it will be increased; and, it is not too much to add, her happiness and that of those around her will be greatly enhanced through all her life as well.
