Take Care of the Schoolgirls.

Dr., Baclus of the Packer Institute, in
Brooklyn, has been saying some severely
common sense things to ambitious
parents. In addressing a meeting of edu-
Gators he very forcibly expressed his
opinion regarding the responsibility
which parents should feel in their paysi-
cal care of the young student in her
school days. He emphatically disao-
proved of the prdo tice Of keeping her en-
piano stool for hours every day. Put
her to bed carr and don't waken her In
the morning he said "If she Is not
being oversaXei she will awaken her
self in time for school, and If she doesn't
let her sleep. Give her good breakfast,
too. before she starts out. Her stomach,
at that time of life, Is a more important
organ than her brain" All of which Ii
sound sense ana was so enthusiastically
received by his listeners that 1t Is to be
hoped every scholars guardian present
took away the good seed to bear fruit.
