"The children, - convalescent, delicate, or simply predisposed to tuberculosis, - live there [in Leysin] in the countryside. They share their time between exercises of respiratory gymnastics, walks, small tasks at the farm or in the garden, and school exercises. The beginning is always careful and progressive, so that acclimatisation of the newcomers is consistent and smooth." (A. Rollier, "L'ecole au soleil"> [Paris, 1915], 15.) In other words, once the children had sufficiently acclimated to the intense sunshine at such a high altitude, they could spend hours and hours engaging in outdoor pursuits to maximize sunlight exposure.
