EDUCATION IN MOVEMENT
Few people knew how muc'i of the joy of life they missed through want of proper education in movement, said Dr. L. P. Jacks (reported in the "Sunday Times," London), when opening a demonstration of euchorics at Cecil Sharp House, Regent's Park.
"If I could have my way," he said, "I would hay% euchorics taught to every boy and girl in the country. I would have it made a necessary and normal part in the education of every human being."
Educators were beginning to understand that the minds of young or older people could not have balance, poise, and self-control so long as the movements of the body were in disorder.
"If we want to teach young people to think sanely and to act wisely we must begin by teaching them how to move correctly."
The body, Dr. Jacks added, needed to be educated with just the same care and skill and science as did the mind.
