OPEN POSTURE · cwsa IN IUME SCHOOLS Recr·tioa Director Finds Small Pereeatqe of Papila Need Special Attention Corrective classes · for . children who are unable to pass the standard posture tests conducted in the Wilmette public schools have been inaugurated by Daniel M. Davis, director. of physical education in the schools. Heretofore cases of poor posture have been handled by special exercises written ou·t by the physical instructors and sent home by the children to the parents who we,re requested to see that the children followed the suggestions. This method had proved unsatisfactory, physical instructors report, and the corrective classes, with strict supervision by the physical di,.. rectors of the schools, have been the result. Classes have been started at both the Howard and Stolp schools and include children from every grade. Altogether about thirty children are enrolled in the classes. Most of these children have slight physical defects, resulting from poor posture rather than malnutrition and causes brought on by environment such as are fre"" quently found in tenement districts, Mr. Davis states. "The percentage of children having postural and physical defects is singularly sma11 in Wilmette," says Mr. Davi~ . "We have every reason to expect that the thirty members of these corrective groups will be able to pass the standard posture test, assume and maintain correct walking and standing positions, and remedy the defects by the end of the present school term. Corrective gymnastics is one of the newest and most v'i tal phases- of .physical education but heretofore there has be en little need for specially supervised classe s." Vista del Lago Directors Elect Officers' Group ·4 New Paintings Given to Joseph Sears School The Joseph Se'ar.; school, Kenilworth, recently has received four new paintings from resident s of the village and friends of the school.
