The Iutnams will publish in April a
volume entitled Correct Carriage for
Business Men" by Irving Hancock.
The reader who opens this book can
not fail TO be struck Immediately by
the remarkable series of illustrations
that demonstrate the exercises for the
attainment of correct carriage. 1t is
usual in physical culture books to IL
lustratc by diagrams the successive
positions taken in carrying out any
given exercise. But such diagrams arc
often confusing and always wooden.
They fail TO indicate the supplencss OF
tho figure and the part played by each
muscle in a prescribed attitude. These
shortcomings MIR. Hancock has bril-
lian;ly overcome through superimpos-
ing photographs. so that in Il single il
Illustration are made manifest all the
pastures required in executing. say tho
side straddlc aud trunk bend, tho
lunge to Sidcward or the knee bend
and thigh clasp. The illustrations cx-
plain themselves SO admirably that at
first thought one wonders at the pres
cnce Of text. and yet MIR. Hancock
has put into his text information that
no one can afford to neglect who
wants to maintain physical and men,
tai efficiency, or to preserve that
healthy appearance and striking car
riagc which are as valuable assets in
business as in social life.
