Was she well developed and evenly trained in her muscles?
Yes, very.

Did she go to gymnasium, or did she scorn it?
She went, twice a week regularly, and had good fun there; but there was just this contrast between her and most of the girls in the class: Jane, as we will call her, went to gymnasium as a means to an end.

She found that she got an even development there which enabled her to walk better, to play better, and to work better.

In gymnasium she laid her muscular foundation on which to build all the good, active work of her life.

The gymnasium she went to, however, was managed in an unusual way except for the chest weights, which always "opened the ball," the members of the class never knew what work they were to do.
