FAR FROM PERFECT
Contrary to the general belief. American girls are far from perfect, according to Miss Maude Moore, physical training instructress, who arrived at Sydney recently. Miss Moore was on her way to Melbourne, where she will be instructress of posture exercises and Danish physical culture with 4 he Y.W.'C.A. “I have instructed girls a)j over the United States,” she said. “Very few indeed are fine physical specimens, because they are living modern lives, and, except for some occasional specified sport, such as tennis, they do not take any exercise. They have curvature of the spine in varying degrees, and life in small apartments" and high-heeled shoes are among the reasons why they are not
such good figures as they should be. The modern college girl, for instance, does not know how to stnnd. She has no posture. The motor-car, too. is reducing the exercise they get. Modern life without physical exercise is not good for posture. I believe that it is the same in most countries, and is due merely to the way the girls live.”
