The
photograph
which
has
been
reproduced
on
the
preceding
page
illustrates
the
point
I
wish
to
make.
In
this
particular
instance
I
have
used
an
ordinary
chair
to
show
what
can
be
done
to
improve
the
chairs
in
the
ordinary
home.
Both
of
the
back
legs
of
this
chair
were
sawed
off
some
three
or
four
inches-thus
elevating
the
front
part
of
the
chair
and
lowering
the
back
part,
giving
the
seat
an
incline
toward
the
rear
which
more
comfortably
accommodates
the
body.
This
position
approximates
that
of
the
ordinary
swivel
desk
chair
tilted
back
by
business
men
when
they
are
not
leaning
forward
over
their
desks.
This
suggestion
can
be
adopted
very
easily
and
cheaply
in
almost
any
home,
for
any
ordinary
chair
treated
in
this
manner
will
be
very
greatly
improved,
and
far
greater
comfort
will
be
experienced
as
a
result
of
the
change.
Civilized
men
and
women
spend
such
a
very
large
part
of
the
time
in
a
sitting
position
that
the
bodily
posture
when
sitting
down
is
a
very
great
factor
in
the
bodily
welfare
and
health.
Special
thought
and
study,
therefore,
should
be
given
the
question
of
the
sitting
posture.
Unfortunately,
this
particular
subject
seems
to
have
been
ignored
absolutely
for
hundreds
of
years
in
the
making
of
our
chairs.
It
is
just
as
harmful
to
sit
all
humped
over
as
it
is
to
stand
in
such
a
position.
The
nervous
system
cannot
be
maintained
at
its
best
unless
the
spine
is
held
reasonably
erect.
Whether
sitting
or
standing,
therefore,
it
is
important
that
you
should
make
a
never-ending
struggle
for
a
straight
spine.
