The Hearing Of school Children.

From the New York Tribune.
The medical journals indorse, without exception,
the suggestion made by DR.. We'll, in the "Archives
of Otology," based on his examination OF the ears
and hearing OF nearly 200 school children, namely
that in every case OF inattention the child should
have Its ears examined so convinced is he OF the
fact that children who are simply hard of hearing
are often misjudged and considered inattentlve
Indeed, such an examination he thinks would be
desirable once or twice year for every child the
test being made In the school room itself IL there
be no other room convenient; that IS, the teacher
could place the pupil In one corner OF the room
separately by whispering-causing the words and
sentences used to be repeated by the pupil, and
thus easily find out which OF them hard OF hear
ing. This, 1t is believed, would have the further
advantage OF calling the attention OF parents TO
the condition OF their children and inducing them
10 act accordingly, or. what would be still better,
a surgeon should have the health OF the children I'm
charge, including the examination or the ears OF
every pupil whom the teacher finds nattentive.
