POSTURĘ FOR CHILDREN

EHOW I comc to thc point where I humbly address thc .i] rnothcrs and fathcrs of thc world. DON"!' ALLOW ^ YOUR CHILD TO SLOUCH. !t is just as casy for a child to hołd thc uppcr abdomcn in as it is for him to walk thc way he walks now.

And now I must Ict go that whicb is on my mind. I will assurc all parents, tcachcrs. doctors. cducators—cveryonc wito is willing and ablc to think—that most ailmcnts (out-sidc of hercditary troublcsi. prwalcnt in childrcn. arc duc to INCORRECT POSTURĘ. LACK OE AIR. LACK OF NATURĘ, COl.D. SNÓW, WIND. SLEET, RAIN. AND LACK OF CLEANLINESS.

The Bibie speaks of God saying to Moses to walk straight. upright. but Moses continucd to slouch. as all humanity has donc with him. bccausc lic did not understand. WONT PARENTS UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL PARENTS TO SEE TO IT THAT THE1R CHILDREN HOŁD THEMSELVES COR RECTLY AND THAT IT IS A CRIME TO NEGLECT TO DO SO I

Tcachcrs should themsc!ves be taught first thc value of posturę and air—then they can turn to tcaching it to thc childrcn. Make it ncccssary as their book education.

THE CHILD CAN ONLY GROW UP HEALTHY THROUGH D1SCIPLINE. TAUGHT BY ITS PARENTS. THERE IS I.ITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS SUBJECT IN AMERICAN HOMES. AND THE PREVAILING SICKNESS IS A CHALLENGE TO HUMANITY. DEMANDING ACTION ON THIS SERIOUS QUESTION.
