Physical Symmetry.

In a recent lecture al New York, Dio Lew
is, Of Boston said:
In our schools the teachers INDUCED in Ger
tain practices injurious to their pupils One
of these practices was that ofcompelling them
to stand in the position of folded arms, which
necessarily inclined them to become stoop-
shouldeted. Especially among the little chill
dren, whose bones are soft and pIiable, this
position Is very injurious, and the speaker was
not at a loss to explain why children were so
round shouldered in his country. Another
bad position for children is that of clasping
the hands behind them as they stood or walk
ed. The better position was to put the arms
"a-kimbo" (the speaker did not use this ex-
preston, but we can explain the meaning bet
ter by its use), with the hands graspng the
sides just above the hips DR.. Lewis revert
ed to the effects Of female walking, which he
regarded as the greatest essential to grace
He distinctly remembered the goit of his ear
ly companions while their faces wete mostly
obEterated from his memory. We never say
queenly rose, Or mouth, or cheek, but it is
the mien, the walk of the woman which we
characterize by this expression. And we
should cultivate this thing among our young
girls He himself had school; and when a
new female pupil came to him he did not ask
her how far she was advanced in such study
but his first question was: "Mary, how is
your back?" From such a school his girls
did not go home to be the invalids but the
centers of the household Again, it is said
that we are healthy as we are strong. But
this is mistake. The measure ofstrength is
not necessarily the measure Of Health. Health
and symmetry have very intimate relations
with the Observation-Disclosures there is an
equable development of muOle there will be
an equable circulation; and physical health is
therefore rather the result of physical sym
metry than of strength.
