NOTESAND COMMENTS
The old question, Why do we
laugh? has again been receiving at-
tention from psychologists and
physiologists. ° Not' much now light;
has, however, been thrown on
The only thinker who: has made an'
original and interesting contribt-
tion is Bergson, who it a meta
physician and philosopher, but not
a man of science. His essay is -sub-
tle and ingenious, but it does not
.
explain all kinds of laughter. It ut-
terly fails to account for the laugh-
ter of joy and hearty. good fellow-
ship.
At the meeting of the 'British As-
sociation at
s-sociation.at Birmingham an Oxford,
professor advanced what is describ-
ed as- a new theory of laughter.
Whereas Bergson regards laughter
as ii mild form of social discipline,
calculated to discourage awkward-
ness and carelessness, the Oxford
scientist looks upon it as a bene-
ficent provision of nature "whereby,
-a mass of " minor suffering ` that
would otherwise depress humanity.
is turned into a stimulant, promot-
ing well-being."
Froin this point of view it is not
wrong to laugh, at the misfortunes
of our fellows. When we see a
pompous old gentleman in the act
of sprawling on a slippery sidewalk
it is our duty to laugh instead of
restraining our mirth. Provided,
however, the misfortune is distinct-
ly "minor," and no bones are
broken. Since the world has al-
ways acted up -to this theory with-
out knowing exactly why, it is
comforting to hear that'its instincts
have been sound, But do we laugh
at our own minor misfortunes as
cheerfully aswe do at those of
others I Are the cynics right in
charging that a certain degree of
malice is present in "beneficent"
and stimulating laughter? If so,
there is still considerable work for
the evolutionary process. -Malice
is not beneficent, even in laughter
excited by the slightest of acci-
dents.
Parents and others who have had
occasion this fall to read the edu-
cational prospectuses must have
come across a new word -"eurhy-
thmics." The schools of expression
are using it freely. It is the name
of a lately arrived science which is
designed to promote general ex-
pressiveness through the employ-
ment of rhythmical gymnastics to
a musical accompaniment.
Eurhythmics originated a • few
years ago in Switzerland, where a
Genevese professor of harmony be-
gan to put his theories into prac-
tice. It advanced into Germany
and now has itschief seat in the
suburbs of Dresden. From Germany
it has spread to England and the
United States, The "School of Dal-
rroze Eurhythmics" has just been
opened in London.
Great things are reported from
the pupils of the new science in
its German headquarters -at least
the younger ones. They "realize
physically the music as they hear
it." And "they translate it at
once, instinctively, into movements
of the limbs." And there is a con-
sequent heightening at once of phy-
sical and aesthetic well -beings
This promotion of 'harmony • be-
tween the mind and body, with its
double bestowal of blessings, can-
not but he heartily welcomed -as
long as its votarie i actively parti-
cipate for their own. individual
good. But if the resultshould be
merely another group of "classical
dancers," with large assemblies to -
witness: passively' their maneuvers,
it might not be so easy to look upon
the new idea of M. Dalcroze, as an
unmixed blessing.

Loss of appetite or distress after

not be disregarded.
It is not what you eat but whet you

good. Some of the strongest, health-
iest persons are moderate eaters:
Nothing will cause more trouble than
a disordered stomach, and, many
