lopment of the Nervous system" The
care of the eyes, ears and teeth dur
ing the earlier years of childhood was
the most important point dwelt upon

ment of the nerves by will power ann
ing at the possibility Of their entire
subjugation i'm later years, when the
virtue of self-control may be obtained.
can never be encoura ged too early in
life. said Miss Mar!att
The need OF frequent periods OF relax
alton and rest from study during the
first few years of school life was one
of the interesting points brought out
i'm the discussion which followed Miss
Marlatt's remarks. and the adjustment
of that old institution, the outdoor re-
cess, was thought by the majority OF
the members TO be a cause for regret,
as constant indoor application is un-
doubtedly too great a strain on the
nervous system of the child.

held previous to the discussion on

introduced by the president Mrs. Henry
