EDUCATIONAL-SPECIAL
HOW TO BREATHE
HOW TO SIT HOW TO WALK HOW TO STAND HOW TO TALK HOW TO SING
B REATHING and physical exercises for health, for the proper use of the . voice, poise of body and grace of carriage that ever mark the man or woman of culture and refinement.
Few know how to breathe, and yet breathing is the most important thing we do. Cor- rect breathing will cure or prevent nervousness, indiges- tion. insomnia, asthma, tuber- cular conditions, baldness and excessive flesh.
The cultured man or woman must sit, stand, talk and walk correctly, and yet how few attain to these graceful con- ditions.
Any one who is not dumb may be taught to sing. Sing- ing is the natural language of all human beings. Children sing little monotones before they learn to speak. Even the dumb hum discordant sounds in moments of revery.
We are the result of train- ing in all things. The voice has simply been neglected, but stands now pleading for recognition.
Mme. Haggerty - Snell has never failed to develop a voice, regardless of age or talent. No one is too young or too old to improve the voice. Not all may become artists, but every one can be taught to sing artistically.
