Some remarks on what is good and what is not good for children in school were made by Mr H. E.. Longworth (Director of Physical Education), in answering a question after his address to teachers at New Plymouth (says the Taranaki Herald). There was certain furniture in the schools which he would say perhaps was not desirable, but the best had tc be made of it. It was wrong to make children fold their arms at the desk, folded behind would be alright if the children did not tire .and droop forward in consequence.. To sit with the hands.in the lap was perhaps the best attitude. A child could not “ sit up. straight ” all the time. During a long lesson it was better to let trie children rest their elbows on the desks than to make them fold their arms. The speaker .also advocated the giving of corrective exercises every quarter hour in a long lesson, the exercise to be such as sitting up straight, and seeing how high the head could be raised. A tendency to chuckle on the part of some of the teachers was noticeable when Mr Longworth told a questioner .that would be a good idea for the children In the infant department to bring a mat with, them, and be allowed to lio down at times. Mr Longworth was quite serious however.. For Children’s Hacking Cough, Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. THIS MEANS YOU.
