Health Of School Children.

The Medical College of Middlosex,
Massachusetts,. having for long time
considered the influence Of public
schools on the health Of children, au-
thorized the publication of the follow
ing facts rs the opinions of Its men,
bers:
l. No child shall be allowed to at
tend school before the beginning Of
his sixth year.
2. The duration of daily attendance
including the time given to recess
and physical exercises-should not ex-
ceed four and half hours for the pri-
mary schools; five and half for other
schools.
3. There should be no study re.
quired out Of school-unless at high
school; and this should not exceed one
hour.
4. Recess time should be devoted
to play outside the school-room-uD-
less during stormy weather-and, as
this time rightfully belongs to the pu-
pills, they should not be deprived of it
except for serious offenses; and those
who are not deprived Of it, should not
be allowed to spend IL in study; no
child should ever be confined to the
school-room during an entire session.
The minimum Of recess time should
be fifteen minutes each session, and in
primary schools there should be more
than one recess in each session.
). Physical exercise should be used
In school to prevent nervous and mus
cular fatigue and to relieve monotony,
but not as muscular training. 1t
should be practiced by both teacher
and children in every hour not broken
by recess. and should be timed by mu-
sic. In primary schools every half
hour should be broken by exercise, re-
cess, or singing.
6. Ventilation should be amply
provided for by other means than by
open windows, though these should
be used in addition to special means
Turing recess and exercise time.
I. Lessons should be scrupulously
to the average capacity of
the pupils; and in primary schools the
slate should be used more and the book
less; and the instruction should be
given rs much as possible on the prin-
,iple of "object teaching"
