The Effects of Gymnasium Work

Dr. Sargent has compiled some very interesting statistics on the effect of gymnasium work, based upon his examinations for the past ten years, which will soon be published. When the gymnasium was opened in 1880, about nine hundred students were examined. The highest individual total was then 675. Since then 240 men have been examined with totals above the highest in 1880, one man reaching a total of 1272.8. We give below a list of those who have exceeded a total of 900. The parts tested are the back, legs, arms, grip and lungs.
