Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Marching for Gymnasium Use
It is desirable that marching orders in the gymnasium should conform as nearly as practicable to those used in military drill, for the sake of uniformity, and to avoid adverse criticism from those accustomed to military tactics.
Certain modifications and peculiarities are necessary or desirable, however, to meet the need of the gymnasium. Where such changes are made it is well to make them agree as nearly as possible with the military form. The writer is indebted to Infantry Drill Regulations, U. S. Army, for much of the material from which this arrange ment is compiled.
The company formation with officers is not followed. In forming the line it is formed single in depth, and every man is as a private in the ranks.
I t is hoped that what follows will prove helpful to many who wish to improve in their ?oor methods.
