The Summer School of Physical Training.

The summer school of physical training at the gymnasium will begin June 26, two days before commencement. This year's curriculum will have several decidedly novel features in addition to the courses pursued in former years. More advanced work will be taught in response to a demand from graduates and the growing requirements of the science.

Dr. Sargent will have charge, as usual, and will lecture on applied anatomy, anthropometry, and the theory and practice of physical training. One special feature will be the use of the new charts and tables, from which the statues of the typical students have been made.

The general lectures and instructors for the course will be as follows: Dr. H. P. Bowditch, dean of the medical school, on "The Growth of Children and the Importance of Making Physical Observations During School Life;" Dr. Thomas Dwight. "Observations on the Growth and Development of the Human Skeleton," with illustrations showing the mechanism of bone and anatomical peculiarities; Dr. Clarence Blake on "Testing the Hearing;" Dr. Myles Standish, on "Testing the Vision;" Dr Elliot G. Brackett, on "Spinal Curvature and Its Treatment by Aid of Gymnastics;" Dr. Edward Cowles, on "The Physical Basis of Mental Life;" Dr. George W. Fitz, Elementary and Experimental Physiology;" Dr. Lena V. Ingraham, on "Diseases of Women and Their Treatment Through Physical Agencies;" Dr. Samuel G. Webber, on "Marriage and Its Applications"

The special instructors will be: Mr. Herman Bose, in German gymnastics and fencing; Mr. John E. Dolt, in American gymnastics; Mr. Christian Eberhard, in class drills in light gymnastics; Lieut. Mark L. Hersey, in military drill; Mr. James G. Lathrop, in track and field athletics; Dr. F. N. Whittier, in developing appliances; Mr. John Bemler, in posturing and tumbling; Miss Grace E.
