Jigsaw Puzzles from Mary Evans Picture Library
Czech Republic - Promoting Sokol Rally 1920s
A rally to promoting public exercise as a way to stimulate national self importance (through organised gymnastic and athletic demonstrations - usually mass-participation). Sokol was founded on the philosophy that a physically fit, mentally alert and culturally developed people can make a nation strong. The word " sokol" translates to falcon and is symbolic of the Sokol ideals: Courage, Strength, Endurance, Fraternalism, Love of democratic principles, and Pride in country. Miroslav Tyrs (1832 -1884) (depicted in the centre) was a key exponent of this approach and is duly being honoured by the ranks of passing Sokol participants. Tyrs believed that a nation must be physically fit, morally on a high plane and intelligent in order to secure independence and retain it. Elevated to Doctor of Philosophy at Charles University and a member of the Education Staff of Riegers Encyclopedia, Tyrs formulated his Sokol plan, creating an entirely new gymnastic terminology. The next twenty years of his life were devoted to Sokol. He was the first Physical Director, editor of the Sokol paper and creator of calisthenics and exercises, placing the whole system on a firm scientific basis. Between the First and Second World Wars the organisation grew to have a million members. The Sokol programmes were organised to have mass appeal across all strata of Czech society and across all age grous."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of the Sokol Rally in the Czech Republic during the 1920s, an event aimed at promoting public exercise as a means to stimulate national self-importance and pride. The Sokol movement, which translates to 'falcon,' symbolizes the ideals of courage, strength, endurance, fraternalism, love of democratic principles, and pride in country. At the heart of the rally is Miroslav Tyrs (1832-1884), a key exponent of this approach, who is being honored by the passing ranks of Sokol participants. Tyrs believed that a physically fit, morally upright, and intelligent population was essential for securing and maintaining national independence. He was a distinguished scholar, having been elevated to Doctor of Philosophy at Charles University and a member of the Education Staff of Riegers Encyclopedia. Inspired by his vision, Tyrs devoted the next twenty years of his life to the Sokol movement. He was the first Physical Director, editor of the Sokol paper, and creator of calisthenics and exercises, placing the entire system on a firm scientific basis. The Sokol programmes had mass appeal across all strata of Czech society and all age groups, and between the First and Second World Wars, the organization grew to have a million members. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of physical fitness and the belief that a strong, healthy population is the foundation of a strong nation.
