Children Sent to School.

Halls Journal of Health contains somo
remarks on this subject which mothers
and teachers ought to see, and which are
especially applicable at this season of the
year. MANY ehild' it says, "the
light of the house to day, will have been
laid in the grave before the winter is en-
ded, by inatteution as to heat and cold,
inducing pIeurisics, infamation Of the
lungs, cold, groups, and other dangerous
maladics. Teachers should be spoken to
about allowing the children to sit with
the back near stove, or register, or in
any position where the child is exposed
to draft of air or to even heat, The
children should not be allowed to come
directly,to the fire, or stove, on entering
the scholl-room la addition they
should be detained in an outer room fif-
teen or twenty degrees colder for few
minutes after the school is dismissed,
and then have their gloves put on, and a
veil put over their faces and fastened, so
as not to be blown aside The colder the
weather, and the lighcr the wind, the
more necessary are these precautions, not
ONLY in leaving the school but on
leaving home The grateful relief which
is experienced when facing a fierce cold
wind, On putting a silk handkerchief
over the face, will surprise any one whc
tries it. All India rubber shoes or gar
mcnts should be removed the moment OF
coming in doors. Children should be in
structed to run with the mouth shut fo
the first block or two after getting out o
doors in cold weather. Those maxims
from physician Of Acknowledged emf
ncnce, should be printed in gold, an,
hung up in every nursery and school
room.

admitted, that the Common Schoolsysten
