The following is a though idea of two species of exercise,
the first calculated for combining sport with and running and walking exercise
development of strength profit, and giving a value to the labour running of a child
as soon as it can run: the other for giving the
greatest effect possible to in print of quantity of
force to human labour.

1. Sinking stage, for producing an up-and-down
motion by the weight of children. A stage hanging
at one end of a beam, at with the other end of which
is connected the burthen: water (suppose), to be raised
by a bucket or by a pump whether of the lifting or forcing
kind. A certain weight be pressing upon the stage
causes it to sink. Children, each of a known weight
would in a certain number produce the effect. The
length of the stage is adapted to the proposed number of the
children, and runs in a direction transverse to that
of the beam: to arrive at the stage they run up an
inclined plane: a slight horizontal rail serves
to mark out the place for each child upon the stage:
to which, to prevent jostling, he is conducted by a corresponding
rail running up the inclined plane. The
stage may have two stories: the upper requiring a
longer hill to climb, will be for the older and stronger
set of children. ⊞ ⊞ It might also, have at each story, have two returns, parallel to each other, and at right angles to the first stage: the three together forming three ideas of a square. here Contrivance will of course be requisite
to preserve the children from being receiving hurt by any sudden
considerable disproportion produced in the sudden
between the power and the burthen: but this is no more
than what any mechanist will know how to provide
for, in a variety of ways, according to the nature of the
work. The sport The sport would
be, to see which could
first get into his place
