In Miss Beecher's Letters to the People on health do
Happiness it is claimed that the health of the Amerip
people is perishing at a fearful ratio, and that, while Ot„e0
nations, both in school and at home, train their chilli,
to be strong and healthy, we are training ours to be Old
sickly and deformed. In proof of this facts are exhil:110,1,
showing that of the American women born in this con'
probably not two in ten have the vigour and healtP„
e
their maternal ancestors, while probably more than ;0
half of them are either invalids or very delicate. 00
object of this article is to direct public attention to to,
prospects of the coming generation, as indicated bi_Dst
health of the children of our city schools. From the re re
investigations there is reason to believe that 030
then one-half of the children of our public se",
who were born in this country, and who are twelve 40
old and upwards, are either diseased or deformed.
rod
the public look at this ? Bad air trom stoves, r°;110,
without ventilation, close sleeping-rooms, crow,t o;
schoolrooms, improper food, poisonous medicines, viA,l3
proper exercise, and over-excitement of the bra' t.O
study have all combined to produce a debility 0 fteo
whole body, especially of the muscles. The result is 001
shown in a pale and sallow complexion, thoueh this o°oo
times attends tolerable health. The following are ;°,l;/,
sure indices of the debility and disease thus indunen't 0;
The first is a sinking of all the intestines from W 11419
this support of the muscles of the abdomen, which !tlie
become weak and flabby. It is the tight packing 01 the
intestines by these and other muscles that sustaThesif
spine and keep all the interior organs in place. .roir
muscles becoming weak, the whole organism sinks loll'
ward, sometimes misplacing the most important and 0§,,,
cate organs. One symptom of this condition is on
chest, another is a flatness or caving in, near the pit °,OO
stomach, with a consequent projecting at the lower itbe
of the abdomen, instead of the curve outward frolooo
breastbone to the lowest point of the body which is toes
in a perfectly formed young child. Still another 5y0313 the
is such a weakness of the back and stomach as make.a of
child sit crooked. This is because the natural slop,
tight packing and the strength of the supporting Enutiool4
are gone. Another index of disease and decay in sei fori
is curvature of the spine. When the spine is curve'oge
ward it is shown by a projecting neck, or by a ef°.tle
back, that no effort can straighten. If the curve is
wise (lateral) it is shown by one shoulder or ontiolt
being higher than the other, or by one shoe'der !Joe',
being more prominent than the other. These detorloter
indicate the decay and debility which sooner Orr oitt
bring on disease of various kinds. Teachers in oil or!
schools say these marks of weakness and delornaitsreto
constantly increasing, and that the longer the purlil6n sof;
school the more these indications increase; that is `.."A
they are found more in the upper departments than inkO
primary. Parents and guardians of our city schools,
yon not look into this matter ?-IVetu York Tribune.
