The Food of school Children.

1t Is a lamentable fact that too little
attention is given to the hygienic sur
roundings of the pupils in the schools,
and by tar too little to the nature of
the food aud the manner OF eating
The aim often seems to be to so pre-.
pare tho food that it will require
little OF no nastication before it is
swallowed, and when solid food is
taken it is not sufficiently masticated
to properly prepare it for the diges-
tive organs. Some years ago a doctor
requested many of his patients TO re.
port as to the number of bites it re-
quired to masticate different foods.
He especially desired to learn how
much less children chewed the food
before swallowing it than their parents.
He got reports from one hundred and
fifty intelligent people, and learned
that practice in this regard varies
very much, that the children generally
were entirely too apt to bolt their
food. He thought the habit of swal.
lowing food before it was properly
mastisated the cause Of insufficient
nourishment in many cases.

And Love had neither purse nor scrip;

Or the light Of loving eye2

And the land where the fairy dwellings are;

And kissed his hands to the rent!
