MISS CLARA G. BAER'S REPORT.
We take pleasure in publishing
the following report upon Physical
j Education, read by Miss Ciara G.
Baer before the State Temperance
Convention on April 14. As superin
teudent of the department of Physi
cal Education. Miss Baer is doing
much to develop this impirtaunt
branch of Woman's Chrisiian Tem
perance work.
Dep't of Physical Education.
DtAi FRIENDS:
We have arrived at another mile
lost on our journey; pausing we
er'what we bshate'one wbi 1ft I
undone. We now here is no such I
thing as standing still in either a <
Smental or spiritual sense. The fact
: at we are again permitted to meet i
together under such favorable cir
i mstanees proves to us that our God i
is with us and we are moving onward c
and upward. In the department of l
physical education we can feel partic
ularly encouraged.
A few years ago the subject was t]
',er" rcely given a thought in the South. R
A recent article in the Times-Demo- p
Seat declares that "the necessity of c
Physical education is no longer open to ti
11 discussion" The loading universities,
colleges and schools in all parts of
the oountry have set the seal of ap
proval upon it by having well
equipped gyninasia and special in
structors and where these are not
prdticable, systematic exercise in
the school room. That the W. C. T.
I . classes this among the very im
portant departments is significant,
and that after careful consideration
i rejects all names but the one now
in common use, shows how much it
Sepects from this department. The
term "education" carries with it in
finite possibilities for larger growth,
deeper understanding and a more el
evated sphere of action. It compre
hends, too, the m*eltmg away of old- t
t*ime prejudices in the broad light that
knowledge tbhrows. t
By physical education, then we I
muean not only systematic exercise of a
the muscles, but a familiarity with b
the simple laws that govern health, I
oi'e of the most important of which ti
is sensible, hygienic dress, the first 1
step toward the freedom we seek. At
fg fedsimple hints from the jur'aal ol
lI "Physical Education" for April, may p
be helpful. t
e 1st. Wear senrsible shoes. That is fc
- select shoes which fit your feet, no ei
i- matter if they are not as some one ti
g else selects The heels should not
it exceel half an inch in height.
- 2nd1. For warmth use jersey un
derwear. Thus the weight of several
skirts can be avoided and one. or at
most two, worn. th
e 3rd. Have the dress skirt light mj
e in weight. By means of this, and an
1 the p'evious 4mgg tionrs ' the "dfaR- Oc
b ging" of skirts can be largely over
a CUom.
t 4th. Support the skirts from thel
t shoulders as well as the waist. They i t
- may, by a carefully adjusted yoke,i ful
be made to rest upon the hips with- Gr
,out undue pressure upon the alxbdo- e
flmen. bo
- th. Use w aists instead of corsets. tra
BMost women need some support for Ma
tthe breasts; bit a light bonelessf1 0
waist (or MIrs. Newell's Breast Sup- I
port Form. 1(2 Dickey Avenue, Chi- Tne
cago, Ill.) is as effective in this direc- seni
tion as the stiffest corset. The sup- less
ties, port to the back and abdomen which
of corsets give is unqualifiedly bad.
_ 6th. Have the clothes to fit, but
well constriction of the body in any part
in- is to be avoided.
not To this we may add, use the mnus
in cles to carry the body erect; keep the
T chest lifted by voluntary effort,
- rather than to rely on external sup
'mtport. Many useful hints as how
tion to attain normal physical develop
ow ent, graceful carriage, good breath
it ing capacity, etc., can be gained by
,'he careful resding; yet by far the better
in- eou'se is to take up work in physical
Seducation. If von oucannot leave your
I,- own home for such a purpose, offer
inducements to some omopetent
oId teacher to come to you. In New
Orleans the Y's have been enjoying
such a privilege this winter under
the careful instruction of Miss Ethel
we Perkins. The success of the class
of was largely due to the energy of the
'it bright winsome president of the Y's,
th, Miss l yrtie Shirely. We believe t
ieh these are but the first steps toward I
ret such a work in many of our unions;
A for a duty lies with us in this as in f
al. other parts of our work to awaken e
ay public interest, to "agitate" along f
these lines, that the future will hold
is for Louisiana a system of education
no embracing the physical-the founds
ne tion for the mental and moral.
