Texas University Now Has “Sleeping Course”

Austin, Texas.--For students who are “tired and rundown’’ at the University of Texas there is the course labeled “Sleeping P. T.” they can take --the “P. T.” standing for “physical training.” The classroom is fitted with cots on which pupils lie for 30 minutes each class period. “The course is simply a period of rest and recuperation for students unable to take strenuous exercise,” S. N. Ekdahl, the instructor, said.
