Two English physicians OF prom1.

exercise given to the lungs in singing
Is valuable In the prevention and cure
of diseases OF those organs. They
consider that increased professional
recognition should be extended to this
special therapeutic agency. as advis.
able in cases where pulmonary con-
sumption Is feared.
Singing involves correct nasal
breathing. and this means that the
air admitted to the lungs Is prac.
tically germ free, and also the ade-
quate development of the upper por'
tons Of the respiratory passages. An.
other effect is the maintenance OF the
elasticity and proper expansion OF the
chest. The necessary breathing exer'
cises mean increased functional &C.
tivity of the lungs. Then. there Is
the improved oxygenation OF the
blood, which singing necessarily pro.

No American teacher or adult stu
dent need go without higher training,
no matter how deficient his early edu-
cation may have been. The summer
school has solved the problem. In
many ways the growth of the summer
school movement is one of the most
interesting aspects of education in the
United States. About one-third of the
colleges and universities hold summer
sessions, and many of the normal
schools have taken up the idea. DR..
Philander P. Claxton, United States
commissioner of education, has just
returned from a visit to a number OF
the schools in the south and middle
west, and reports remarkable in
crease in attendance and interest. At
the summer school of the south, Knox
Vile, Tenn, there were 2,406 students
this year. representing 80 states and
three foreign countries 1S9 courses
were given. At Wooster, Ohio, which
began few years ago with ~ stu
dents. there were about 100 in the
session Just closed. The state of Ohio
alone has four or five thousand teach
ers attending summer school every
year Particularly significant is the
growth Of summer schools in the Caro-
linas, where the movement started
comparatively late. At the University
OF North Carolina there was an at
tendance Of $50 this year, just double
last years enrolment. At the normal
school at Greensboro, North Carolina
a session OF eight weeks was held. the
/ first in the history Of the institution,
and 200 enthusiastic teachers were in
/ attendance. At the summer session Of
the Winthrop normal college, Rock
/ Hill, South Carolina. particular atten-
ton was paid TO problems Of industrial
education and rural schools. and men
of national prominence participated in
the work These are but few Of
many indications OF the marvellous
spread OF the summer school idea all
over the country.
