Mr. Jeffery added that the upright posi. tion was achieved by man only after countless ages of striving; it had enabled him to dominate all other living beings by affording him time to use his fore-limbs for the handling of weapons and tools. | "The erect position," said Mr. Jeffery, "has a powerful influence on the intellect, and it has been observed that children paralysed. In the trunk and lower limbs show an immediate improvement in their mental life when placed erect." Clock Sota.
