Excerpt from Gymnastic Teaching For a number of years some of my friends had been asking me to write on the subject of Gymnastic Teaching, and finally Dr. J. H. McCurdy persuaded me to undertake the task. Like "Gymnastic Kinesiology" it was done, with the exception of the Appendix, in the form of monthly contributions to the Physical Education Review during the past three years. In this presentation I cannot claim to have added anything new to the subject. Nor have I tried to make an exposition of any particular system. It is merely an attempt to pick out and elucidate some of the principles underlying all gymnastic work and to show some of the possibilities of their varied application under different conditions. While some phases of the subject, such as the values and effects of the work, are still largely in the theory stage, the practical aspects of the work - methods and technique of teaching it, and the management of gymnastic material - have been abundantly tried and their effectiveness reasonably well proven. Indeed, the part of the discussion which deals with this side of the subject is but the summary of results of more than twenty years of study, observation and experience in teaching the work under fairly varied conditions - in the Y. M. C. A., in secondary schools, colleges and normal schools. The book is offered to teachers and students of physical education with the hope that it may prove helpful in the adaptation of gymnastic work to all kinds of conditions, but especially with a view to meeting conditions in educational institutions. If it will contribute to a broader, more liberal point of view, to a greater interest in and more effective teaching of gymnastic work, and thus to a fuller realization of its potential values, the effort will not have been made in vain. My grateful acknowledgment of helpful suggestions would include all the friends with whom I have been associated during the past twenty-two years. Among those who aroused my interest and guided me during my first years of teaching are Drs. J. H. McCurdy, C. J. Enebuske and L. Collin. In forming my point of view and general ideas on the subject I owe much to profitable discussion with these friends as well as Drs. L. H. Gulick, G. L. Meylan, C. W. Crampton, T. D. Wood, F. Leonard and others. In the systematizing and grading of apparatus work for men I received much help from Dr. G. L. Meylan, Mr. J. A. Davis and Mr. A. I. Prettyman while engaged in teaching the work at Columbia University. And to the stimulating, encouraging and steadying influence of Miss Amy Morris Homans I shall always attribute a large part of whatever success I may have attained in teaching the practical as well as theoretical side of the subject.

This book is at once a thorough study of the educational system for the Greeks of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt, and a window to the vast panorama of educational practices in the Greco-Roman world. It describes how people learned, taught, and practiced literate skills, how schools functioned, and what the curriculum comprised. Raffaella Cribiore draws on over 400 papyri, ostraca (sherds of pottery or slices of limestone), and tablets that feature everything from exercises involving letters of the alphabet through rhetorical compositions that represented the work of advanced students. The exceptional wealth of surviving source material renders Egypt an ideal space of reference. The book makes excursions beyond Egypt as well, particularly in the Greek East, by examining the letters of the Antiochene Libanius that are concerned with education. The first part explores the conditions for teaching and learning, and the roles of teachers, parents, and students in education; the second vividly describes the progression from elementary to advanced education. Cribiore examines not only school exercises but also books and commentaries employed in education--an uncharted area of research. This allows the most comprehensive evaluation thus far of the three main stages of a liberal education, from the elementary teacher to the grammarian to the rhetorician. Also addressed, in unprecedented detail, are female education and the role of families in education. Gymnastics of the Mind will be an indispensable resource to students and scholars of the ancient world and of the history of education.
Here, for the first time in one volume, are all the extant writings focusing on rhetoric that were composed before the fall of Rome. This unique anthology of primary texts in classical rhetoric contains the work of 24 ancient writers from Homer through St. Augustine, including Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, Tacitus, and Longinus. Along with many widely recognized translations, special features include the first English translations of works by Theon and Nicolaus, as well as new translations of two works by important sophists, Gorgias' encomium on Helen and Alcidamas' essay on composition. The writers are grouped chronologically into historical periods, allowing the reader to understand the scope and significance of rhetoric in antiquity. Introductions are included to each period, as well as to each writer, with writers' biographies, major works, and salient features of excerpts.
