| ing shoulders when they sit. In order
to guard against this great awkward
ness in posture when ready to indulge
in conversation or any of the con-
ventional social intercourses for which
one inevitably sits, l would suggest
that we lean so to control our arm,
leg and waist muscles that they newt
ably fall into long, curving lines of
gracefulness instead of tangling and
whitening into awkward abandon and
ungainly posture.
My muscles are SO trained that /
no longer have to hold them firmly
in position, but they fall naturally into
sweeping continuous lines, which are
the true beauty of natural pose and
posture
Consider Figure l. The left foot is
daintily placed forward, the right foot
lis almost at right angles to it, the in
step takes natures lifted curve. The
body sways lightly toward the right
heel, with the arm sinking in a grace
full parallel to the right foot Rise
and fall on the toes, changing from
foot to foot for the forward position,
and when right foot is forward and
right arm parallel to the left foot,

and twisting forward at the elbow with
the wrist dendant above the head.
Sway from foot to foot till you are
! sure of the exercise. Then practice
f.; sinking into a sitting posture while
holding arms and legs in the position
shown in this picture. Practice this
exercise faithfully, and soon you will
be able to sit without lolling or feel
| ing an ungainIy self-consciousress of
arms and legs with which you know
not what to do. OF course, you will
not sit with one arm "draped" above
! your head, but you will learn to have
j flowing movement from this picture,
! and your arms will then fall into ma
tural lines of grace.
Figure 2.

graceful walk. With arms swaying

tight-rope walker uses his balance

knees close all through the exercises.

nearly approaches dancing than walk.

ness when sitting are two real social
requirements and are a vast step in
the general direction of grace. The
two movements / have given you are
dancing steps. and yet they can be
made to serve a definite purpose to-
ward the attainment of bodily grace,
without which all the beauty of form
of Venus would fall short of attrac-
tiveness of vital sort
Figure
Figure shows a step that will help
you to acquire a pretty back. So
many women are attractive as long as
they face you, but the lines of the back
are graceless and heavy Do not fall
into this category. but teach yourself
this little dance step, for it will make
your back graceful and pretty. Stand
firmly on the right foot and point
the lifted right toes we'll to the back
taking care to keep the line of the
leg from knee to toe.
Raise the arms to just below shout
der height and twist the head until
you are looking across the finger tips
of the right hand. Now all this while
the back has been slowly and gently
inclining backward. When the back
muscles feel tense shift the weight to
the other foot and go through the
momement again. Five times on each
foot will be found sufficiently often
to practice this exercise until the un
used back muscles have accustomed
themselves to the tension.

that If it can teach you to sit well

strong, healthy and pretty back. there

| The purpose of this conference is to
perfect plans for the development of
this point of view in child education,
and to establish centers where the
principles may be applied and where
teachers may be trained.
| Such center exists in the summer
school now in session in Greenwich un-
der the direction of Mrs. Marietta L.
Johnson, founder of the Organic
School at Fairhope, Ala.

~ REAT changes are taking
place all over the world in
methods of education. The
former things are passing
away, and the new things are better
than the old
A School of Organic Education has
been established the last two years
in Fairhope, Ala, and the idea is now
being talked and spread broadcast by
progressive individuals.
Marietta Johnson, the principal OF
this parent school, has given her life
and vitality to making the Nature
Method a success.
She has been at Greenwich, Conn,
giving a demonstration of her methods
to over sixty pupils and twenty-six
adults. 1t is her ambition and hope
to make this demonstration so con.
vincing that the public schools will
follow her methods of instruction.
Here are some of Mrs. Johnson S
very sane ideas:
I'VE know that many children fail
in school. We know that many grow
indifferent and unhappy. We know
that some are not strong enough to
meet the requirements Then why
in the name of education should we
continue the treatment when the re
Spouse is unsatisfactory?
