We will now very shortly describe those which are in general use, and may be taught in all schools.

THE SINGLE HORIZONTAL POLE.

This may be supported at one or both ends, and should be a few inches above the reach of a person standing on tiptoe. It may be either fixed, or suspended and movable.

1. Jump up and seize the pole with the thumb and fingers on the upper side, and hang by the fingers. (Fig. 14.)

2. Move along the pole backwards and forwards by moving the hands. (Fig. 14.)

3. Draw yourself up slowly until your chest is on a level with the pole, and then suddenly rise to the full height of

the straightened arms whilst throwing yourself a little backwards. (Fig. 15.)

Fig. 14.

4. With the pole fixed, slowly draw up the feet to the level of the bar, and then let yourself down slowly. (Fig. 16.)

Fig. 15.

5. Instead of letting yourself down, put the feet slowly between the arms, and then fall to the ground. (Fig. 16.) 6. Instead of passing your feet through the arms carry them steadily over the bar. (Fig. 16.)

7. Swing slowly first, and then boldly whilst hanging on

the bar, until the body can be swung through half a circle, and at length through the whole, or great circle, or entirely round the bar.

Fig. 16.

8. Whilst hanging on the bar, jump from one end to the other.

9. The trussed fowl and the true lovers' knot are very difficult, and require care lest the wrist should be sprained. 10. Hanging from the bar by the legs. When sitting on the bar quickly slide down backwards perpendicularly, hooking yourself by the legs underneath the knee joint, and having the arms extended in the direction of the body. (Fig. 16.)

11. Hanging by the feet.-When the feet are brought to the pole, face the toes upwards, and hitch the insteps over the pole, after which the hands should be loosened and the body allowed to fall perpendicularly without swing or jerk. (Fig. 16.)

TWO PARALLEL BARS.

These bars are about 26 inches apart, and each is fixed at the end upon two strong posts about 4 feet high.

1. Stand between them and take the first position by springing up, and, with the arms quite straight, place a hand on each bar, and remain suspended with the body above the bars. (Fig. 17.)

Fig. 17.

Fig. 19.

Fig. 18.

2. Then walk backwards and forwards, suspended as before. (Fig. 18.)

3. Swing the legs and body backwards and forwards between the bars. (Fig. 20.)

Fig. 20.

4. Draw up the legs at a right angle to the body, and then let the body up and down by straightening and bending the arms.

5. Do the same with the legs pending. (Fig. 19.)
