| Rhythm is the most important phase
OF human life and necessarily the most
important factor in education" When my
sister. Mrs. Lucia Gale Barber. handed
me that dictum several years ago, 1 was
startled by her earnestness and surprised
at the radical change in educational
theories.
For years I had taken a most active
part in the educational affairs of New
England. lecturing in teachers institutes
and summer schools for teachers, and
was for several years the instructor OF
normal departments, and a supervising
principal in a large city, as well as writ
ing an elementary inductive geography
and various articles on methods OF teach
ing.
1 accordingly possessed rather well de-
fined ideas along educational lines and
while keeping abreast of the times,
had yielded rather slowly to some Of
the new methods and then only after
they had been tried. My sisters theory.
however. introduced an entirely new ele-
ment. The idea. il adopted. meant a
revolution in the teaching OF gymnastics,
art. music. literature-in fact II was
bound to AFFECT the whole system OF edu-
cation.
At drst, I rejected the idea and be-
cause OF her earnestness and apparent
zeal in prOpagating the theory. refraIned
from discussing It with her. But she was
not to be quieted in that way and the
result was-well, I am now at the head
OF the Lucia Gale Barber School of
Rhythm and Correlated Arts. at Wash
ington, the school which she founded
shortly before her death to work out the
great theory of which she was the orig
inator.
The basic principle as an educational
factor has gained such Roadway that il
has been introduced in some form or
other into the schools Of Germany and
France, as well as some OF the leading
girls schools of this country. where
former pupils of my sisters and mine
are now engaged in carrying on the
work she started.
Rhythm is the new science Of physical,
mental, and artistic training for health,
poise and grace of movement, for the
elimination of self-consciousness. for
awakening the faculties and developing
an appreciation Of all art through the
rhythmic exercises of play, pantomime
free movement or natural dancing.
o. Our school is the center of rhythmic
training in America and in addition to
its regular courses, II is training young
women of culture and ability to become
teachers of rhythmic work. which has
in 1t the content of all there is in life.
The rhythmic training takes the place
OF the usual gymnastics and physical
training. but 1t is infinitely greater in
its results. 1t belongs to the new edu-
cation and trains and cultures the whole
individual, working from within out. The
rhythmic work stimulates. enriches and
harmOniZes the entire work Of the school
and is another factor for preparing the
students more perfectly to meet the
problems of life. 1t creates in the stu

Hampered impulses bring a feeling Of

piano when they have reached their
majority. Two years OF rhythmic train
ing would have produced a love of har-
mony and music. through natural de-
velopment, that would have made all
compulsory piano practice unnecessary
Our course also includes Greek, natural
and folk dancing in the order of racial
development. Special talks are given to
show the relation of the classic dance
to other arts and to aid the students to
realize the value in all art. The revival
of the classic dance means a revival
Of the love for beauty in movement. ges-
ture and expression. II was because the
Greeks expressed themselves in natural
and not sophisticated movements that
they produced first the most perfect
living sculptures and then their marble
replicas.
The Greeks were right in their theory
as well as their practice. Everything
that has life has rhythm, and there is
manifested in every one a desire for
bodily freedom in the pursuit OF happi-
ness, but custom and erroneous ideas Of
education have seen Mt to hamper these
movements.
The rhythmic training is proving its
efficiency and Is here to stay 1t has come

WAS DISCOVERED IN 1895

The Washington School Of Chiropractic
is the only school In the East teaching
straight chiropractic. The school COM
menced operation in November. 1915, and
has been successful from the start.
Chiropractic is in accordance with
webster's definition. "a system OF ad-
tusting the joints, especially of the spine,
By hand. for the curing OF disease"
The science was discovered in 1895. and
from a small class Of three or four stu
dents, il now numbers several thousand
graduates, and at a conservative calcu-
lation. more than 100 students at the
present time are taking the course at
the different schools in the country.
The Washington school now has a
faculty Of five teachers, all Of them hav-
ing had several years practical work in
the field. The subjects covered by these
teachers are anatomy. physiology. his

chiropractic, spinal analysis being covered
thoroughly and is made q very special

There are thirty-one pairs of spinal
nerves branching from the spinal cord
leach containing many fibres). which
pass through the r0ramlna or WINDOWS
between each vertebra; and with each
nerve there are arteries and veins pass
ing Il and out for the nourishment of
the cord itself so that the foramina or
openings are almost completely filled.
Thus a slight deviation Of any of the
vertebra may cause irritation or pres
sure. Irritation usually causes increased
action; pressure II severe enough may
cause total paralysis. The trained chiro-
practor> examines the spine, locates the
vertebra that may need adjusting. re-
moves all pressure or impingement Of
nerves, which enables them again to act
normally and once more control the life
processes properly, and health Is re-
stored In other words, the chiropractor
adjusts the spine to remove the cause OF
disease, symptoms only being of value
in diagnosis and giving a name TO u

had just brought to make sure she had

Mrs. Stevenson crushed the letter in
her belt with a sinking heart 1t did not
seem believabIe that Donald Rowland.

\ been so plainly interested in her Margie

gagged to a girl back in his home town.
And yet here was the statement of her
own sister. who had gone to that same
town on a brief visit.
Her unpleasant reflections were inter-
rupted by the opening of the front door,
! the sound of a merry ''good-by till to-

The pang which Mrs. Stevenson had
felt when she first read the letter re-
| turned with double force.
''Margie, dear" she began. ignoring her
! daughters question, Il asked you a
question once before and l am going to
! repeat It now. Don't you think that il
is time Donald asked you to marry him.
The merry light left Margie's eyes. Her

Margie obeyed. After she had read it
she let it drop flutteringly to the floor
and buried her face in her hands.
''Oh. l don't believe It. 1 can't believe

more. She refused TO talk OF it and that
same evening when It was time for Don
to come she refused to go down. You

Mrs. Stevenson went down in answer
to the bell few moments later and the
frank. glad smile with which Don greet

belt. He seemed even in better spirits
than usual and shook her hand with
frank vigor.
