Sinopsis
Excerpt from Parallel Bar Exercises
The Editor of this booklet firmly believes that the standard of gymnastic competition in the A. A. U., the A. L. N. A. Inter collegiate and Interscholastic teams can be very much improved by having set exercises rather than the present method, which' consists of three elective exercises: Firstly, because of the extreme difficulty in judging elective work. It is hard to hnd three judges all of whom place the same relative value upon a complicated gymnastic feat. Very often the competitor is not given proper credit for the work performed; and again, the per former oftentimes places too much value on his special exercise. At any rate, there is much wrangling, and this tends to retard the popularity of this sport.
Secondly: The member of a gymnastic team must specialize too much; must confine himself to one piece of apparatus in order to properly compete with a specialist. In doing this, he very often loses sight of the all around work.

Excerpt from Parallel Bar Exercises
I have examined the exercises and the illustrations with care and much pleasure, as I felt that this little booklet is an encouraging sign of the increased interest that the different forms of apparatus work are receiving. Those of us who have found much pleasure is being able to do all possible and impossible stunts upon all forms of apparatus feel a warm glow spreading over us when we notice this revival of gymnastic skill, this striving for form and finish, as exemplified in this booklet. It may be that some critics will ask what these exercises are good for, yes, that they will question the hygienic value of some of them, or, worse still, tell us that some positions are positively harmful from a corrective point of view. But what are such quibbles to a young man who feels the power and the glory of his strength when he swings up to a hand balance, and who feels the thrill of vigorous life tingling through his body?
It is time that a decided stand be taken by all normal men that the mental value, the pleasure and satisfaction derived from doing many forms of gymnastics has fully as great a value as the exercises have that are undertaken from any other point of view. Let us hope that young virile manhood will never fall to the level of looking upon gymnastics from the prescription standpoint. Therefore, may this little booklet be a guide for courageous students who wish to acquire bodily skill for the fun and enjoyment there is in it.
