Work requiring fixed positionssuch as wTitmg and drawing, lead quickly to fatigue and are there-tore bad for posture, no matter how good the posture in whichthey begm. We all naturally avoid the fatigue caused in this wayby varymg our attitudes in standing, sitting, working and playingwhen we can, and the experience should teach us not to requirechildren to sit still too much or too long at a time. It is by varyingtheir attitudes more that post-men and policemen are able tohave better postures as a classthan clerks, book-keepers andteamsters. Children usually havegood postures until they havebeen in school for two or three.
