Note 136 — Chapter XVII · PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS OF SWEDEN.

A description based primarily on extensive personal observation, supplemented by interviews and the study of official documents, has so many advantages over a compilation made at a distance that this chapter has been left substantially in the form given to it soon after the period of residence in Stockholm referred to on page 163. It therefore applies to conditions as they existed in 1900. A second, briefer visit in the spring of 1913 revealed minor changes, but the general impression given by the article as it first appeared in the American Physical Education Review (6, 1-13) for March, 1901, and in condensed form in Mind and Body (11, 105-111) for July, 1904, remains essentially correct.
