Description

Professor Josep Masclans i Pascual, explains in a biographical manuscript the introduction of the gymnastics doctrine in his school and the initial misunderstanding that was found in the parents of the students who did not understand the reason for doing these exercises, taking them in a comical way or as a waste of time. Finally, over the years, they all saw that the practice of gymnastics produced a positive effect on the children, exhibitions were made and it was part of the pedagogical routine with complete normality.
