Der of the left common carotid, which
gives the left hemisphere a decided adj
vantage" In cases of left-handedness
he says:
ANTAGONISTS have found that in GER
tain portions of their subjects the
aorta arches from left to right, in which
case the innominate artery is on the
left side, and the common carotid and
subclavian separate on the right; this
would favor the growth of the right
hemisphere. There seems to be an alb
sence of post mortems of left-handed
people to confirm this. though the the
DRY seems probable enough. 1t has also
been advanced that the transposition
of the viscera accounted for left-hand-
edness, but the relative position of the
heart is so easily determined in the liv-
ing subject that it is surprising how
much force has been attached to so I'M
reasonable a theory

selves and posterity that we make the
most of what nature has given US, and
not develop one side of the body to the
detriment Of the other. We are born
symmetrical; why then should we allow
habit and custom to force us out Of
plumb as it We're?
Our aim should be to build I'D our
bodies so that they may wear out alike.
In every profession and calling a free
use of both hands would be an advan-
tage. To the successful piano player
it is necessity. Paderewski owes his
great success to his perfect execution
with the left hand, the weak point with
most piano players. BY a careful in
quiry in the schools of this city / find
that between four and five per cent. of
pupils are left handed. In the Pro-
testant Orphan Asylum there are about
six per cent. This can be possibly ac-
counted for by the fact that they are
not restricted to such an extent as in
the public schools or at home, where
parents and teachers make it a point to
correct the habit.
/ believe ambidextrousnes is on the
increase. Parents are beginning to re-
alize the advantages arising from the
cultivation of both hands. and I hope
to see the time when it will be taught
in the schools as it is in the gymnav-
SUM. In my own calling I find it of
incalculabe value. enabling me to oper-
ate on either side of the chain en-
pIoying a different set of muscles as +
change from side to side, according tc
the work at hand This enables me to
operate with much less fatigue.
In conclusion let me again assert that
every profession and calling would find
systematic cultivation of both hands
an advantage and with no correspond
ing disadvantages. The surgeon, the
dentist, the artist, the sculptor, the
draughts1nan Ito the typewriter a nee
essity), all would be benefited, the day
laborer no less than the skilled me-
chanic.
