BEAUTY LESSON
LESSON XI-PART |
Physical Culture

To keep young and attractive looking,
is the desire of every woman as she ap-
proaches middle age. How to be beautiful
is the query of every girl nearing woman
hood. This passionate desire for ply
sical charm seems inherent in women OF
all ages and yet. paradoxical as it sounds,
comparatively few women are willing to
take the necessary pains. and exercise
the healthy self-denial that means ply
sical attractiveness.
The Physique
While it is beauty of face that generally
first attracts us. it is the physique that
holds the eye. Every woman not born a
cripple or deformed has a right to a good
figure, correct carriage and easy, grace
ful movements. Unfortunately these are
not always given by nature: in most cases
work is necessary to acquire and retain
them.
| believe everyone after childhood needs
some form of physical culture. Children
in their play exercise every muscle OF
their body, but after playtfme is passed
only certain sets of muscles are used.
This is the time when it is necessary to
supplement with daily, systematic ex-
ercise
Contrary TO general opinion, hard work
does not always make strong, well-de-
veloped body Manual labor may make
certain muscles strong, but Il doesn't on-
courage general strength, grace or poise.
If it We're so we should find in farmlns
communities the highest types of physical
perfection, for it is certainly the men
and women workers in the country who
accomplish the greatest amount of ply
sical labor. But the truth is that farm
work does not tend to grace or perfecr
development
Work on the Farm
A man that mows or shovels rarely
stands straight; every inch that the spade
goes into the ground pulls him the FUR
ther over, and this is true of wedding,
hoelng and most of the small tasks con-
nected with farm work. Neither does such
work make one quick and light in move
ment, one of the first requisites for a
good ply sique. Prize fighters and act
resses who must overcome heavness find
rope jumping excellent. They also prac-
tice dance steps, the fighter to make him
light on his feet and the actress to pre-
serve the 1.-THE walk that we associate

BY CHAS. W. FARR,


The entire plan and process Of put
ting alfalfa on every farm Ia distinc
lively educational. The knowledge. oh
tanned concerning the value of the
plant and the possibility Of growing II
leads to an inspiration which Is known
by the fact that the farmer actually
grows alfalfa.
In working out the plan to it's most
effective end, it is absolutely necessary
that the school and home cooperate
that parents, pupils and teacher worn
together. ANY line Of work that offers
opportunity for parents and pupils To
think, talk and read together Is worth
while.
Alfalfa Meeting Held.
Alfalfa meetings are held In q dis
trict The school, with the parents
attending the meetings hear the ta1ka,
and all receive samples Of alfalfa
seed and printed matter. The teach,
er becomes interested, sees the oppor
tunity and uses Alfalfa plants a q
basis for oral language work. It WIN
usually be found possible to pro
cure the same. A better plan, how.
ever, when 1t Is possible, IL TO visit
an alfalfa field, study the plants. talk
to the farmer and make fun notes for
schoolrootn use. Parts of the printed
matter received are used In rsedins
lessons.
Carry on Experiments.
Experiments in growing alfalfa ON
small plot on the farm are reported to
the school, and causes of success and
failure are discussed. All this work
creates much interest in an important
farm process.
Three points are gained--children
from the farms have expressed them
selves In terms OF their environment
The children and the parents have
talked and read together concerning
a matter worth while. The interest in
the growing of this crop has been
greatly increased Above all, the gen.
