Measures to relieve tuber- culosis, anaemia and malnutrition are al placed at a disadvantage by the constant moulding influence gxer(ed on habits of posture by much in fur- nit: nd clothing.” a4 /o organized attempt to standardize these various conditions has ever been made before. Individual orthopedic surgeons, and in a few instances spe- cial commissions, have attempted im- provements, but the skill and judg- ment of the experts have never been combined in united effort. The new American Posture league includes in its membership leading orthoped: gurgeohs, physical trainers and edu- cators -who have specialized on these subjects. New York, A ncerned and in ‘Will Issue Bulletins. The league hopes by systematic edu- cation to establish a demand for healthful standards in what may be termed posture engineering. For e ample, it is already assisting with e pert advice the engineers of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, the seats of whose new subway cars arc being constructed in accordance with the league's specifications. It is in touch with several large organizations of workers engaged in the standing occupations—such as motormen and shopgirls—and purposes issuing of- ficial bullétins for their benefit, illus- strating the correct standing postures, both for work and rest. . Bulletins taking up the various phases of school and factory hygienc that affect posture, and making con- structive suggestions, will also be is- ‘ed to school superintendents ar Tiher officials throughout the country as well as to heads of private schools and colleges and to efficiency mana- gers. ~ Lantern slides will be pre- pared and circulated to supplement a country-wide campaign of education by means of bulletins.
