derstood. We know, however, that social
life is the cause of our deepest emotions
and this indicates that it is also a source
of nervous exhaustion.
The society of a person or persons Of
the opposite sex arouses many forms Of
excitement which produce a rapid ex-
haustion of the nerves. If man is to
rest it is of the first Importance that no
human should be present.
Solitude eliminates the various causes
Of fatigue mentioned. When social ex-
citement is removed our nervous tenden-
cies are Gained. Hope, desire, regret,
rivalry, anger, hatred and love sink INFO
the subconsciousness.
Therefore it was decided that the rest
period to be 100 per cent efficient must
be taken in solitude, free from the sound
or sight of any other person. That means
that in an office there must be little
rooms, well ventilated and with solid
walls, where the workers can enjoy their
rest periods in perfect solitude and
silence as in a Trappst cell.
These discoveries then brought the
scientists to another important question.
What shall the resting person think of
when he is enjoying his silent solitude?
For it is often impossible to think of
nothing.
The resting person must not think of
his business, his love affairs, his dislikes,
his ambitions or his misfortunes, for
such things increase fatigue. The thoughts
therefore must be controlled so that they
turn only to objects which rest the
organism.
After a hundred experiments it was
found that the best way to rest the mind
was to look at a picture Of a natural
scene, representing a plain, a lake, or
the ocean in calm weather.
The experiments proved that vertical
lines conveyed TO the mind ideas Of force

When a person fixed his eye on pic
ture composed according to this formula,
he Immediately felt rested and refreshed.
The length of time necessary to produce
the full effect depends on the health of
the subject.
1t was decided that the ideal rest room
for the office worker could be a cham

the tired stenographer and office worker
will be quickly relieved Of the fatigue
which 50 often cripples Their best efforts
1t is stated that the employer by giving
his employees the needed rest will benefit
by obtaining better service.
The length and arrangement of the rest
periods were also discussed by the scen-
lists Ii was found thatiseveral short rest
periods gave better results than ore
period of the same total length. Greater
efficiency in office work, it was stated,
would be obtained by requiring the work
ers to take four quarer-hOur rest periods
per day-twO in the morning and two in
the afternoon. Great benefit, it was stated,
was obtained by fve-mnute periods of
scientifically ordertd repose.
In large offi)e it would of course
be necessary to arrange the rest periods
on schedule and ne French scientists be-
leved that the qUarter-hour periods would
fit best into such system.
The benefits of rest were increased
when simple etting-up exercises were
taken after theFest periods.

The subject of rest apd fatigue has
been extensively studied by American ex-
perts, who, however, have NOT proposed
the French plan of having the workers lie
down for rest. Frank B. Kilbreth de-
scribes how the output of force of girls
folding handkerchiefs was INCREASED by
scientifically arranged rest periods. The
old method was to have Them seated at
their tables in chairs of ordinary height,
working the entire day, with the only
rest periods an hour at noon or when they
went for supplies or took back the fin
ishcd product.
To enable them to do more work the
following schedule was adopted. Each
hour was divided into ten periods. The
work was placed on a table Of the proper
height. The first four perods, that is the
first twenty-four minutes, the girl re-
manned seated. She worked five minutes
and rested one. That IS to say. she had
five minutes rest out 2f the twenty-four,
and spent this rest seated so that she
might lose no time in getting back to the
work.
The next two periods, that is for twelve
minutes, the girl wab standing. Again she
worked five minutes and rested one min
ute, and for the SECOND time worked fivel
minutes and rested one minute. That is,
she rested two out of the twelve minutes
in the same position in which she worked.
The third group, space of eighteen
minutes, she spent either sitting or stand
ing as she pleased. Here also she worked
five minutes, and rested one minute;
worked five minutes and rested one min
ute in the position, either standing or
sitting, which she herself had chosen. The
last period which consisted also of six
minutes, was spent by the girl walking
about and talking, or amusing herself as
she chose.
At the end of the days work under
these conditions the girls accomplished
more than three times the amount of their
previous best work with greater amount
of interest and ne more fatigue

direction, so that old association has
linked up the ideas OF force and action
with vertical lines in Cur subconsciOus-
ness.
On the other hand, al figures that re-
call defeat, melancholy or sorrow follow
descending linc-the fall of the leaves
in autumn, the falling stones of a ruined
building, the collapse of the beaten man.
the dropping lips Of disappointed man,
ETC., etc.
Through similar association of ideas
provoked by natural scenes, horizontal
lines suggest rest, calm, tranquility,
sleep, the absence of struggle.
We can understand then that the sight
of repeated horizontal lines may provoke
in US feelings of relaxation and repOse.
Paintings which presented a vast extent
of plain and sea were found to be rest
ful because they consisted of an infinite
number Of horizontal lires.
Professor des NlgncS ROugeS calcu-
lated the ideal combination Of horizontal
lines which would convey the sensation
of the greatest repose. The picture
should be a rectangle larger from side to
side than in height. The ideal proportion
Of width to height is 8 to 5.
The picture must not contain absolute
~ regular horizontal lines, for the eye
has a tendency to follow them from end
to end. A picture of parallel lines pro-
vokes disagreeabe dizziness which is
used in certain cases to bring on hyp-
motto sleep.
After many experiences the professor
found that broken horizontal lines Of
various thicknesses suggested the sensa-
ton of repose.

much greater total production of work
than if the work were done continuously.
Many persons suppose that rest is best
Obtained by visiting cabarets or going 20
the theatre or other places of amuse-
ment. The scientists do not entirely
agree with this idea. since the amuse-
ments draw upon the same store of
nervous energy as work.
The various parts of the nervous sys-
tam are linked to one another. When we
are amused or excited by theatrical
show it is not the same chain of nerves
that is excited as in work. but the fatigue
Of one chain reacts upon the other.
Men who have strained their nerves
by work for a whole week are greatly
mistaken if they imagine that they can
restore themselves simply by strenuous
game of baseball or golf on Saturday or
Sunday. They simply add one fatigue
to another.
Physical exercise in the open air and
in a special costume, after a day or
week of work, is an excellent relaxation,
but it must be regulated so that it will
not increase the fatigue already accumu-
lated.
The first conclusion Of the scientists IS
that rest must be taken in certain posi-
ton, and that is lying down. This re-
duces the excessive demands upon the
heart, favors the relaxation of the muscles
and changes the position of the intestines
Rest taken in an upright position has not
one-third the value of that taken lying
down.
Instinct tells US that we should rest
lying down and we ought not struggle
against that instinct. 1t is the only way
to relax the tension on the nervous
system.
Some interesting information was Oh
tanned from the secretary of Georges
Clemenceau, the wonderful old man who
at seventy-eight supported the burden Of
being Prime Minister of France during
the most trying years Of the war. 1t was
learned that VI. Clemenceau had lounge
behind a screen in his office, and after
every trying conference he used to lie
down there for a few minutes. Clemen-
ccau was originally q doctor and had
watched his physical condition intelligent
~. so that he was able to do good work
at an age far beyond the average.
It was therefore decided that the
worker must have a couch near at hand
where he can take rest lying down at
frequent intervals.
Observation also proved that rest was
Of little benefit if the construction caused

The flow Of new energy into the nerves.
The ideal way is to remove all clothes
and put on a special garment, but if this
cannot be done. at least the collar should
be- taken off and the garments opened at
the waist.
In the second place. the scientists
reached the important conclusion that
solitude and silence were essential 70

Science now comes forward to tell US how
such a simple thing as resting should be
done.
Fatigue, which we all feel after long
or exacting efforts, has been studied, and
it is now understood why your mind wan

A distinguished French scientist, one
Of the leading authorities on physical
education, Professor Jean des Nignca
Rouges, has just laid down the scientific
rules of rest for brain workers. lie says
that those who work with their LI~in -
professional men, scientists, statesmen,
office workers, etc.-must rest scien-
tifically or we shall see a general physi-
cal breakdown Of the most important
part of the community from the harass-
ing requirements Of modern life and
business.
The studies of this scientist and his
associates have led them 10 the conclusion
that three rules must b. observed in fur
nishing rest and recuperation for workers:
/. Rest must be taken frequently in

Scientific study has shown that rest
is absolutely necessary to the body. Il
is the period during which our cells are
recharged with energy. Exactly how
this process goes on in the body Is not
fully understood but it is proved that the
body is a reservoir of nervous energy
which is emptied by exertion and which
becomes filled again during rest.
