Amongst the various "schools" of physical culture which have come into vogue during recent years, the system as organized by Swedish gymnasts holds an individual place, and has now come to be recognized as an ideal means of physical development, suitable to the delicate and strong alike. Swedish drill does not aim at the abnormal development of muscles, so much as the exercise of the body in a manner calculated to keep it perfectly "fit." There is no need to dwell upon a description of the various exercises, as the film illustrates these in a clear manner, and it will be seen that these, carried out by teams of well-knit and alert youths are distinctly novel and refreshing.
