ward Way

"Nura," famous New York ar
fist, has broken away from thc
beaten trail Of children's books and
turned out something unusual. OPP
posite each exquisite picture Is q
blank page on which the child
writes his own story.
1t is a superb idea. Not that
children do not need the stimulus
and interest of oil the good liter
allure they can get, and the stories
told them, but large majority
have an urge to tell us what THEY
think.
The history Of child-writing has
been entirely different. We're
not looking for Daisy Ashfords.
but /, for one, am anxious for q
new system in teaching this art.
When children begin to write IN
school. writing is associated with
struggle-not only the technical
act of forming letters with PEN
Gil, but the mental struggle OF
arithmetic problems and spelling
words right. At formative age
when association of ideas means
so much too.
Later they take on language,
geography and history. And still
later the thesis or composition,
held rigidly to outline.
The School Method
Review the school method in
general. How many people win
remember much feeling of enjoy
ment about anything they put
| down on papcr-some, Of course,
but the majority will not support
them. 'sss
There was little opportunity for
creative writing. When it was CIV

that ran something like this: I'm

Later as the child advanced sub
heads were added until the skcle-
ton Of his prospective braih-child
was enough to scare anybody.
Once an English teacher known
for originality and success, dccid-
ed to break through the system.
She had many foreign children
and their pathetic attempts at e.
planning vacation with that bug
aboo of an outline staring them IL
the face, wrung her heart. A boy
was going to fail who was other

said, when examination came.
Throw away that outline end

Kept the paper and promised to

We are not talking about deep
breathing. People who stress that
are generally ignorant Of the ply
sioloyg of breathing. So are people
who talk about "diaphragmatic
breathings."
The purpose OF conscious breath
ing exercise is not to get more oXy-
gen into your blood, for you can't
do that by breathing alone. The
main purpose of belly breathing Is
to boost your circulation.
Some general suggestions.
Never think of your breath
ing except at the time you do
your belly breathing exercise.
Each night when you get to
bed lie supine. knees fieXed.
one hand resting on belly.
Through open mouth draw q
slow. full even breath and no.
tice how the hand rises as the
bellows expands. No straining.
Hold the breath moment,
then let the bellows debate
passively, like an inflated rub
Der bag, and notice how the
hand sinks. Repeat this from
six to a dozen times at the
seance. BY that time you'll
probably be doing off to sleep.
1t has n remarkable tranquil
izing effect.
Belly breathing is helpful for
poor circulation, weak heart, asth-
ma, chronic gall-bladder and liver
troubles, functional maladies of
women, varicose veins, high blood
pressure, insomnia and cold feet

Normal young adults have only
q limited chest expansion, perhaps
l IL inches. Individuals who have
q chest expansion of more than z
inches have learned by practice to
contract the pectoral and shoulder
girdle muscles to achieve the freak
effect. They have no greater vital
capacity, that is, total air capacity
of the lungs, than have other indi-
viduals who have never practiced
this quaint stunt.
Chestiness, q tradition of old
time trainers and nineteenth CEN
fury soldiers, has gone out of fash
ion along with the notion that ath-
Ietes required more meat than or
binary folk and the notion that
strength, agility or endurance can
be rubbed in.
Physicians have discarded the
tape measure in the examination
of the chest, and nowadays the
doctor. measures the chest expan-
sion only when filling out an exam
nation blank for some shoddy In
surance company or q civil service
rite.
The insignificant enlargement OF
the capacity of the upper half OF
the rib cage with inspiration Is due
to the elevation of the sides of the
cage or TANKS somewhat in the
manner of bird Tapping his
wings. But this aspect of breath
ing, heretofore greatly overempha-
sized, is only incidental to the main
aspect of breathing, which Is the
action of the diaphragm. The
working of the diaphragm Is shown
by the expansion of the belly. If
you give any attention to your
breathing, your circulation, your
physical fitness, you should watch
your belly and never mind your
chest.
OF this should come under the
eye of Aunt Mehitabel let me as
sure her there Is no other word for
it, ....
The right way to breathe, for
good health, good looks and effl-
cheney, is the natural way. That Is
belly breathing.
