WORK OP THE LUNGS.
THE NECESSITY FOR PURE AIR AND
PROPER BREATHING.
Respirator? flymniullce Tend to
Strengthen the Heeletinp Puree of
Nature to Disease—Tbe Lesson of
* the Blach Hole of Caleana.
To my mind the part of the physical
man npon which depends all the pos
sibilities of mental resource Is that
part which has relation to respiration
and which for Its perfect work de
pends upon the quality of the air we
breathe, the quantity respired and the
method thereof. The apparatus for
respiration consists of the lungs, which
are double, the one on the right side
-.having three lobes, the other on the
? left, oply two. We must always bear
. In tplnd, that nature Is generous In ber
. provisos§, ..and she has given us so
much, of lung tissue, that a large part
can-be quickly exhausted and become
, Inactive, yet life eiidure.fnr ,|ts legltl-
.mate threescore years and tea nodus
duties and activities continue, unhin
dered by any conscious (gqk. ,Under
the microscope the lung tissue, shows
an Infinite number of tluy cells, nr ulti
mate lobules. Some have estimated
these at five or six hundred million,
and, wonderful to relate, only with the
first breath that -the Infant draws are
4*>tb luugs ever filled wjjb absolutely
new air. All through life there la nec
essarily what we call -a residual air,
which may be of a greatsr ,or less
amount, according to ,tbe .breathing
habit of the Individual. |t;ls said that
the extent of surface through - which
the air breathed pastes la approximate-
Jy about 1.300 square fe?t, and,tbe ex
cretion from the dungs dally Is over
two pounds of poisonous matter. In
fact. It la .certain that at least one-
Tbjcd of -the waste and poisonous mat
ter caused by the activities of the
organism, Ms growth, repair, decay, Is
excreted through the lungs.
Unfortunately, a great majority of
mankind breathe very superficially,
■.using only part of this large area of
Iwg tissue. Even If persons are out
Of (doors, unless by wise activity, the
£cep ,cdl.« ,pf (he lungs are not aerated
fur the simple reason that very few
men or .women know how to free the
lungs property. Deft Weller states that
"deep breathing not only ventilates the
lungs and aids the circulation, but In
many cases hi able to strengthen the
muaclea-of she thorax, especially those
about the upper part of the cheat.” And
1 bcllesc that we have a right-to expect
from respiratory gymnastics .a real
strengthening of the resisting (force of
nature <te disease. Even If the luugs
hare 'begun to break down, honest ef
fort In thte direction wIM supplement
medication.
One of the methods erf correct breath
ing Is to put icbe -hands lightly on the
hips, fingers -backward; throw tbe
shoulders well -back, hold (the chest up.
chin In, and then Inhale slowly through
the nooo as -long as possible. When
.the lungs are filled, -retain tbe air until
some discomfort la experienced, then,
forming the Ups In the shape of a letter
O, exhale as slowly and evenly as la
consistent with comfort, making a
alight blowing sound. Such an exer
cise for five minutes, -clad only In one
Carment or. better, with no garment at
all. night and morning. In a well venti
lated room, will do pary much la man,
woman or child to develop the tang ca
pacity. Improve tbs carriage of the
body and enrich tbe quality of tbe
blood, which depends upon the activity
of the lungs for Its purification.
It Is no wonder Shat so mnch cars
has been given by nature to the appa
ratus for the respiratory function, for
we know perfectly well that man has
lived as much as sixty days without
foodi be has been forced to exist for
some time without water; but. alaa.
without air death must come In a brief
ispacs of tlmel . ,
for Instance. In 1756. 146 persons
were confined over night In a small
apace not larger than 5.900 cable feet,
with only two little windows on one
side. Within an hour all broke ont In
a profuse sweat They were tortured
.with thirst and difficult breathing, and
.In three and a half hours tbe majority
(Were -delirious. Then wheu tbe morn-
lug came forty-three only lived to tell
the tala. Another extreme case was at
the battle M Anaterllts. Three hun
dred captured soldiers were confined
In a amaU cellar, and within a few
(hours all but forty were dead. Tbe
season la self evident. Tba air was In-
sufficient for tbe -demands of each In
dividual, the poisonous exhalations
from tbe body were thrown off through
the luugs, and a moat agoahting death
ensued. It behooves us, then, moat
carefully to consider In arranging (hr
tlie ventilation of homes, hotels, boa
pltala aud Jails oot only that a proper
quantity of pure air shall be allowed
free circulation, bat also to bo watch
ful leet this pure air shall bo vitiated
by retained Impurities.
A great many Investigations ha vs
been made to ascertain tbs relation of
;*• »o disease, and perhaps tbe simple

Schooi Departments
The teacher must teach more, and
know more; lie must be a living founi
tain, not a stagnant pool He should
not be a dealer in desiccated,second
hand knowledge, a mere giver-out
aud hearer ef lessons. That is the
chief and humiliating difference be
tween our secondary teachers and
those abroad, who are mostly Doctors
ol Philosophy, as they should be. If
we could move many university pro
fessors to the college, many college
professors to the high school, many
high school teachers to the grammar
school, and some grammar school
teachers, with at least a sprinkling
of college graduates, into the kinder
garten, it would do much. In the
German and French school, the teach
er is one who knows a great deal
about bis subject and is nearer to ori
ginal soucccs; who tells the great
truths at the sciences almost like
stories; and who does not affect the
airs and methods of the university
professor. Very many secondary
leachers and masters and authorities.
Here, most of our university peda
gogy is a mere device for so infiuenu
ing high school principals and teach
ers as to correlate curricula, in order
to corral in students, and little inter
est i- taken in the grammar grades,
and none in tbe kindergarten.—G.

1. Demand clear enunciation and
correct pronunciation, both in read
ing and in ail recitations.
2. Giro attention to pm holding
and position in writing.
3. Require much practice in the
fore arm and full-arm movements in
writing.
4. In the lower grades—say from
the first to tbe fourth or fifth, inclu
sive—the pupils In oral spelling may
pronounce tbe word and then spell
and pronounce it by syllables. In
the upper grades omit the pronunci
ation by syllables, but make a slight
pause after tbe letters of eaob sylla
ble.
5. Be careful about the length of
the reoessee. Let them be exactly
on tiate and not exceed in length tbe
time presort bed in tbe school regula
tions.
tt. All tbe teaohers should in all
cases be present in their respective
school-rooms at least ten minutes be
fore the time fixed for commencing
the exercises.
7. Do not keep pupils too often,
too long or unnecessarily after school.
8. Practice in the phonetic sounds
of the letters is particularly to be
commanded, first in the primary
grades, and also in the several classes
of the grammar schools.
9. The best school is that which
is least governed* in which the pu
pils do tbe most work and the teach
er apparently tbe least.
10. The best teacher ia that one
who ia constantly striving for per
sonal improvement and professional
advancement. All teachers should
improve in personal accomplishments
aud in scholarship, and advance in
professional ability every year.—
