Excerpt from School Gymnastics With Light Apparatus, Vol. 3: Seventh and Eighth Years Each grade of work is arranged in eighteen lessons, extend ing over half of the school year. This does not cover the entire term of most school sessions, as it is considered best to use review work during times of examination and promotion, rather than to tax pupils with new exercises at such times. While each course is complete in itself, the two kinds of work are designed to be interchanged - half of the school year to be devoted to free hand exercise and the succeeding half to the apparatus. In grading the exercises each free hand series is used as the foundation for the movements of the apparatus work for the same year, which in turn, in the greater variety and freedom of its exercises, forms an advance upon the last series of free work.
