Coughing in Church

physician tells the New Orleans
Times-Democrat that the coughing NUS
ance IN church is a mere question Of
acoustics. There is a subtle connection
between the ear and the throat" he said
when the ear is strained the throat
is affected. and "a cough is the result.
When we can hear perfectly in church
or theatre IL never occurs TO us to cough:
but when We bend forward. strainins
every nerve. TO catch the actor $ or preach
ers mufied syllables then we find our
selves coughing every little while Build
audtoriums with perfect acoustic proper
ties. and ! warrant that the thunderous
choruses OF coughs so common now
among us will be no more heard"
But We cannot pull down our churches
and rebuild them merely to prevent
coughing. and even If we should do so.
there would stiu be pious coughers. in
spite OF perfect acoustics. with due re-
spect to the physician our own opinion
is that coughing in church is due more
TO bad habits. or bad manners. than
20 bad acoustics. Many men and women
cough when there is no real necessity
for it. simply because they are unwil-
ling 20 exercise a LITTLE self-restraint.
Moreover. coughing is contagious and one
persistent cougher is apt TO start up
dozen others, until the chorus fairly makes
the welk1n ring. Sometimes a child will
cough at regular intervals or minute
or more from beginning Of the service to
the end. and drive nervous women dis
tracted.
There is no excuse for 1T. Church-goers
should leave their coughs and their cough
ing children at home, or else stay at
home until the cough or the coughing
habit is cured IL is not fair for the
| coughers TO disturb the whole congrega-
tion and destroy the whole service.
