No.2 OCTOBER 1, 1915 St. Paul, Minn.

Twenty-fifth Anniversary As Physical Director ,of Prof. Albert F. Schintz

to Be Celebrated By the Turnverein.

Sunday evening,

Oct. 3d, is to mark' the 25th milestone as physical di- dector 0£ Pro£. Albert F. Schintz;

to be fittingly celebrated by a gym- nastic

exhibition

of his classes fol- lowed by an informal reception of the members, the classes and his friends.

The activity and development of a Turnverein in a great measure de- pends on what kind of a physical director (Turnlehrer)

it

has. Is h

e

active, it will develop, prosper and grow; is he indifferent or even negli- gent, it will become stationary and disintegrate.

Happily the Turnverein St. Paul has in its Turnlehrer one that can be considered active,

a

stranger

en-

tering, on whatever occasion it may

be, soon becomes acquainted with•

.,,,.,,,,,,,,,,.

him

;

the children need no introduc-

tion, for they

all like

him; all members know him, for all social and instructive activities radiate from him,-controlled without favoritism, advised without compulsion, and discipline maintaine<l through a will- ingn

ess

to do

cheerfu

lly what is requested by him.

Born of

German

parentage, in the city of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, at the

early age

of 4J/2, true to the Turn

er

spirit, his parents sent him to Turning school, then under the direction of Prof. Chas. Oelrich, where he

attended

until 1875, when his parents moved to Milwaukee, whieh then was the national center of turning, the home of the Teach-

ers'

Seminary at that time, in charge of the able and well known Physical Director George Brosius.

Continuing

turning and growing into manhood while observing the seminarists at work created a desire to b

ecome an instructor.

Through often

exercising

with the Seminary

(Contin~ed

on next page.)

Cl

class he developed into an excellent gymnast and acquired the prac- tical knowledge sufficient to become a recognized instructor in Physical Education.

In

1884, as a youth of 17, his proficiency began to assert itself by winning the second prize in all-around turning and field sports.

A year later, at the National (Bundes) Turnfest at Newark, N. J., his reward was the forty-third. The much desired first prize was won at LaCrosse, Wisconsin, in 1886,

at the

age of 20. From then on every contest meant a prize, also in specfal events, as club-swinging and fencing,

unti~

1891, when, as an

in

structor, individual competition ceased.

Coming to St. Paul in 1889, and since then his home, his career as physical instructor began

in

1890, when the West St. Paul Turn- verein engaged him and with whom he remained until 1898. He then gave a course of physical culture at the Cretin High School, followed by three years with the Bohemian 'l'urners, three with the Milo Athletic Club and five with the Amateur Athletic Association, well known as the three A's, and finally the call came from the Turnverein St. Paul with whom he has since been, and is now in his fifth year, their well known and popular instructor.

Closing in his own words, he says:

"In these

twenty-five years as Physical Director in St. Paul there were more than 4,000 pupils under my care, some now married and sending their children to me at the present time.''

DAS DEUTSCHE TURNEN.

Immer mehr bricht sich die Erkenntniss Bahn, dass der korperlichen Ausbildung des Menschen dieselbe Beachtung geschenkt werden muss wie der des Geistes.

Nur iiber das Wie dieser Ausbildung, iiber die Art, die Methode, herrschen Meinungsverschiedenheiten; deshalb erfiillen die korperlichen Uebungen oft nicht den von uns angestrebten Zweck. Hier zu wenig, dort zu viel, dort einseitig. Hier will man sich damit begniigen, in den Klassenzimmern der Schulen ein paar Freiiibungen auszufiihren. Dort beschrankt man sich darauf, einzelne von der Natur begabte schiiler fiir Hochstleistungen zu trainieren.

Das Turnen soil aber nicht allein der Entlastung von geistiger Anstrengung dienen, oder zu Hochstleistungen anspornen, sondern bezweckt vielmehr die harmonische Ausbildung des ganzen Menschen, geistig, ktirperlich, moralisch.

Die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen alien Fahigkeiten des Menschen auf korperlichem, geistigem und moralischem Gebiete diirfen bei dem Betieb des Turnunterrichts nicbt unbeachtet bleiben, wenn eine veredelnde Harmonie des Menschen das Ziel sein soil.

Dass der einseitige Sport diese Harmonie nicht erreicht, davon geben unzahlige schadliche Auswiichse Zeugnis.

Von diesen Grundsatzen ausgehend, hat das Turnwesen in Deutschlancl sich zu seiner heutigen Grosse entwickelt, und es darf gesagt werden, dass die

·deutsche Nation ihre von aller Welt bewunderte Tatkraft-geistig, korperlich,

moralisch-ihrer verniinftigen Erziehung verdankt.

Der Nordamerikanische Turnerbund mit seinen 40,000 Mitgliedern hat sich die Aufgabe gestellf, dieses Turnwesen in die Vereinigten Staaten zu ver- pflanzen, es Land und Lenten anzupassen; Gutes hinzufiigend wo immer es sich fand.

Der Turnunterricht in den offentlichen Schulen geniigt zur Zeit noch

~

...

keineswegs und deshalb macht der Norda~erik.anische Turnerbund wiederholt auf die Turnschulen der Turnvereine aufmerksam, die das zu ersetzen ver- suchE;n, was in den offentlichen Schulen jetzt noch fehlt.

Unser Turnsystem ist fiir Jung und Alt beiderlei Geschlechts geschaffen.

Unsere Lehrer erhalten die beste allseitige Ausbildung auf unserem Turn- lehrerseminar. Unsere Mitglieder rekrutieren sich aus den besten Biirgern des Landes, die sich bemiihen, einer verniinftigen Korpererziehung eine .Statte zu sichern.

Jeder Deutsche sollte nicht nur seine Familienangehorigen zm: Turnverein- schule senden, sondern auch selbst Mitglid eines Turnvereins werden'.

THE BULLETIN.

With this issue the Bulletin makes its appearance as a permanent monthly periodical of the Turnverein, having decided that it fills a long felt want as a medium of giving the mem- bership and its friends desired in- formation of its doings. Also it shall be for members to express their views or opinions on things vital to the Verein. Its columns will be open to any member's signed articles. Also to avoid sending out special notices for socials, etc., the Entertainment

Committee shall use the Bulletin for announcements, and all members and friends of the Verein should keep the Bulletin for such desired information.

The first of each month copies can be had free at Turnball, or mailed, by notifying Prof. A. Schintz.

Help make the Bulletin an interest- ing medium to boost the Turnverein St. Paul.
