scHOOL-ROOM PERILS.
The slaughter Of the Ttuoeents.

The StnnnItfeT or the ITIuOeeJitg.
Dr. Richard McSherry, of Baltimore,
p.. an article in the Sanitarian for this
,,opth on the above subject, the charges
.bot "the local authorities of the cities
and very largely throughout the country,
ant. Herad Herod in the slaughter or the
;onocents." "There is no bIoodsbed,
indeed, in the beginning, but there is"
no savs. towards the end, in various
orms of hemorrhage." in speaking Of
schools for girls he expresses the opinion
that the evils OF the school-room "often
tend to the extinguishment Of families"
He adds, and the reasoning applies in the
main to children Of both sexes:
.'What else can be expected when
young children are imprisoned for long
and weary hours, day after day and year
after year, in close and sitting school.
rooms, where the air is habituaIly go foul as
10 be exceedingly offensive to any one
entering from without, though unnoticed
by those within who are breathing it
ever and over again? A lady who is
fond of plants and flowers, and has but
small space for cuItiVating them, say
in window-galdening, finds that her IA
vorites require a gOOdly quantity of sun
and air to thrive, which she seeks
FOR them accordingly, while she cends
those more tender plants, the children,
TO hOrrid school-room, whence the rays
of the sun are excluded, while the arti-
fetal heat, often loaded itself with coal
gas or carbonic oxide, is made mephitic
with carbonic acid from many brea*hs,
and all the exhalatiOns that arise frem a
miscellaneous crowd of helpless and in
nocent little prisoners. This is not a
matter of comfort and discomfort, but
more clearly a matter of life or death
with the children. What is the good of
all the learning, such as it is, acquired
in the school room, and by gas light at
home, to a young girl who has spinal
curvature and a perpetual headache, and
a weak chest, and Indigestion, and fabby
muscles, and, in short, universal delicacy
in every pant of her organism How is
she prepared for the wear and tear of
life duties, and what kind of heIp-meet
is she going to make? The evil is
crying one; it is fraught with ruin, yet
scarcely any but a few medical men
seem to appreciate, its importance"
What is the remedy? Fewer hours
at school," he says, and fewer studies
at any one time" Frequent changes of
position and air; a brief recess every
hour to relieve the mental tension,
stretch the cramped limbs, and enable
the scholars to take in good inspirations
of fresh air.
" Let the school-roOm be cleared every
hour, and thoroughly ventilated while
the children play tor a few minutes in
the open air in good weather, or under
shelter while it rains. The shelter should
be provided, no matter what the cost.
Life and learning are of little use with
out health, but learning and health
would be both promoted by these meas
ures."
