Health of body is not only an accompaniment of health of mind, but is the cause; the converse may be true,— that health of mind causes health of body; but we all know that intellectual cheer and vivacity act upon the mind. If the gymnastic exercise helps the mind, the concert or the theatre improves the health of the body.
