    But behind the Premier again must be the irresistible sweep of public opinion to support and sustain him, and as he himself has declared, in work of such magnitude everyone can do his or her share. It is to provide a channel through which much of this individual effort can flow that I am forming the All-for-Health League. Every reader of this book should join this League and persuade others to join. It will cost nothing, and I am confident the reward will be great, for duty well done and service rendered in any good cause in itself brings reward exceeding great. The All-for-Health League will aim chiefly at all the chief objects that a perusal of this book would suggest to the reader, viz. :— 1. To build up by cellular reconstruction and evolution a stronger, finer, healthier and disease-proof race of men, women and children; 2. To agitate for physical education in our schools in pre¬ cedence of mental education, and by the scientific methods here enunciated and explained; 3. To arouse the intelligent interest of the State in all matters pertaining to individual and national health and physical well-being of the people; 4. To promote legislation that will safeguard the health- rights of the people and enforce them, and to organise public opinion politically; 5. To advocate for the people equal opportunities from childhood for health and hygienic conditions of life; 6. To form social clubs and physical culture organisations throughout the country for the spreading of health knowledge and the culture of the body as described later. 7. To print and distribute helpful literature for the pur¬ pose of giving the people higher and better ideals; 8. To take as our League motto, “ Life is Movement,” and to spread the doctrine of scientific physical movement as the first essentia] of a healthy and happy life; 9. To assist every movement of a similar kind, and especially to lend our aid to all auxiliary reform movements that are for the hygienic advancement of the people; 10. To agitate for the addition of this subiect to the cur¬ riculum of every medical college, school and ’Varsity, and to advocate the establishment of special colleges for the training of students in scientific and curative physical movement by Nature’s methods;
