Lectures on health, and its conditions, and on other important topics, will be delivered to these classes at suitable intervals, and great pains will be taken to secure, to the utmost possible extent, physical vigor, robust health, and a graceful carriage, and to prepare young women to take enlighened care of their own health, and of the health of others under their charge. The materials for the calisthenic uniform must be made up under the direction of the Instructor in this department.
