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.
