PHYSICAL CULTURE No systematic frill in physical culture was given the children of the schools until 1886. At that date the board determined to employ a special instructor, and William Reuter, in charge of the turning school of the Davenport Turngemeinde was secured. From that time until the present he has been in charge of gymnastics in the Davenport schools.
