HOW TO KEEP FIT
LESSONS FOR THE YOUNG SKELETONS EMPLOYED. BERLIN, July 29. Germany is finding jobs for dead men! The robot schoolmaster has arrived in the form of human skeletons that teach the young how to keep fit and healthy. This is the most remarkable development of all in post-war Germany’s passionate craze to breed a generation of super-men and super-women. To demonstrate the correct way to stand, sit. walk, or play, the grim and grinning skeletons are placed in turn in unhealthy and inaccurate attitudes and then in the correct ones. It all constitutes an unforgetable and forceful lesson. . There, in one corner, sits at a piano what was once a flesh-covered, living, breathing man. In the other corner two hnmaa ««iics 101 lat a desk. Another skeleton is carrying a basket, another a baby, while others are dotted about the room in a variety of postures.
“ This is the obvious and most sensible manner in which the _ evils of slovenly attitudes can be impressed upon the German people,” declared one professor. Thus the 1 dead teach the living how to live. .
