CORRECT BREATHING
The opinion that not one child in New Zealand schools was breathing correctly was expressed by Mr. I. W. Mudford at a meeting of the Wanganui Education Board, states a correspondent. Mr. P. A. Smithells, Superintendent of Physical Education, ■who was present, stated that the teaching of breathing was a subtle process and a job for specialists. "We have tried the teaching of .proper breathing in schools for 25 years in England and made a failure of it," he added. Mr. Mudford stated that there was no reason why a failure should be made of .it in this country. There was plenty of pure air and it was only a question of proper instruction.
