While this is being written, the | whole world is agog over the cour- ] aseous and spectacular flight of .
 young aviator from the middle west who with his dauntless spirit. his years of careful training and his l sure knowledge of his task made | dream come true. One cannot help
 but admire this spirit of adventure
 backed up by the scientific knowl- edge and years of hard work which enabled him to accomplish what even in this day of miracles is rec l ognized as most remarkable feat.
 Just what part books from a public | library furnished in his career of preparedness for the flight is only | at present a matter of speculation. 1 However, it goes without saying
 that the books which your library ! carefully selects for education and
 instruction may furnish the key to
 success along the line in which you ! have some special talent. Much as
 we all would like to share the tri- ! umph Of accomplishment which is the we'll earned result of this avia- tors achievement. such triumph al- ways will remain to the few. Yet. by constant and organized use of
 your library and it's facilities for
 educational advancement. there Is l little that can not be accomplished if one has the courage and initia- 1 tive which Lindbergh has displayed.

Our interest in physical train-
ing as part OF the child Is school

out the States does not include
some form of gymnastics in the

to its heart and other organs.
Here are i few points mentioned
by Commander Hill. one of the.
leaders of physical training in.
the British navy:
His first caution is naturally
about breathing exercises. for
breathing is at the very root Of
all bodily activity. and correct
breathing Is rightly taught be-
fore any other bodily movement.
What he says IS this: That YOU
should never mix up breathing
exercises with movements de-
signed to exercise the muscles De
the chest. This Is most COM
mon mistake ia physical training
almost 4 universal one.
al pure breathing exercise IS
natural deep breathing and should
be done in the open air. The
breathing exercise is, therefore.
in outdoor play. The breathing
should be left to nature. II should
be performed without any move
ments Of the arms or other parts
of the body. 70 confuse 1t with
exercises designed to develop the
muscles and joints OF the thorax
is harmful Such exercises not
only do not help the breathing,
but seriously restrict IT. Let us
see what happens.
When the arms, as explained
by III. b. JTill, are raised, the
thorax r. at once fixed to support
their weight. The muscles 81 the
belly contract to hold It, and

steady the pelvis on the legs.
The muscles of the legs contract
to keep the body balanced. The
result is that the thorax cannot
expand properly, nor can the dia-
phragm descend to allow for the
increased capacity Of the lungs.
The arms weigh about l4
pounds each. ana when they are
raised the muscles which move
them must have fixed point
from which to work. This means
that the rest of the body must be
locked more or less solid. But IL
proof were needed, II is given by
the actual measurement OF the
air which enters the lungs when
the arms are raised, compared
with that entering when they are
hanging by the sides. Arm move
nnent reduces the intake BY 20
per cent.
a man who has q respiratory
illness always avoids moving his
arms, for he knows by experience
that this interferes with his
breathing. The runner, when he
is blown grips his thighs in
order to fix the arms and help
his breathing. This Is because
half the muscles that help Ii la
bored or extra-full breathing have
another job--they help to move
the arms: If they are at work
on the job they cannot be at
work on the other.
It is highly important that
boys and girls should be taught
to breathe naturally and that
they should have no faulty ideas
