Two boys OF and from Public School
So In East Tenth street and two youths
OF Is and Is from the Commercial High
School stripped to the waist and went
through some or the exercises devised by
DR.. CHAMPION. The younger lads were
on hand chiefly to Illustrate correct pos
ture.
Knees SIN. Head IN.
1.-THE position OF nearly all the INTERNAL
organs is affected by bad posture" On
Champion said. "A good standing att-
tude- according TO our IDEAS, requires knees
stnened and bent trifie, head up and
chest up. ones shoulders should be for
gotten. Shoulders thrown too far back
are just az bad as round shoulders. We
believe. To bring the shoulder blades
together Is false ideal
The position OF the liver In grown
man or woman Is as much as two inches
higher In a correct standing posture than
in bad attitude. We find II no use to
a
chest up. Tell the boy TO stand like a
soldier. the girl to stand with some style
about her. and they Will without conscious
effort take the correct attitudes. They
react TO an idea-mere directions don't
work with them"
The older boys went through simple
muscular drill and then enacted agi-
nary shotputs, threw an imaginary dis
Gus. fenced against invisible antagonists.
The audience was distinctly impressed
not so much with the muscular play AZ
with the shaking up OF all the body or
gains that the drills involved 1t proved
nearly impossible to get the smaller boys
TO assume incorrect postures for purposes
of illustration They had simply got tho
habit of standing straight.

From 10000 TO 100000 school girls in

swimming is taught wholesale School
children are marked for personal cleanli-
ness and hygiene. just az for reading writ
Ing and arithmetic.
m opposed TO mere muscular devel-
opment SAID the speaker. The only use
or muscle in the present day is as an
aid TO brains and well developed organs.
We have no use for athletes, but a great
deal OF use for athletics
The only worth Of athlete: Il to get
other boys Interested IN athletics. Ath-
letes advertise exercise What We atm
AZ Is all,roundness In the schools Wa
give graded medals for proficiency. and
one of the simplest awards is a bronze
medal 10 boys who can run moderately
fast. chin the horizontal bar few times
and jump reasonable distance Last
year $4,000 boys won this medal. Our
methods n physical training have been
widely copied. the schools In Bombay.
Kobe. Japan. and Auckland. New 2ea-
land among them.
