ARE YOU LEFT-HANDED?
Why don't you make more use of your left hand? It has been estimated that 97 per cent, of the English-speaking people are right-handed when they grow up. Seventeen out of every hundred are born right-handed, but the remaining eighty-three per cent, are born without any inclination to use one hand more than the other, and, therefore, besome right-handed owing to influences brought to bear on them during their childhood dayß. It is impossible to calculate how much men lose by neglecting their left hands. Formerly—in primitive times, that is to say—everyone was ambidextrous; and the sooner people become ambidextrous again the better.
In Japan, for many years past, soldiers and schoolboys have been taught to use both hands. And this wise example is now being followed in Germany.
