A HoI-BED FOR CATARRH sPROUTING.
Where? In many public school
rooms. Encouragement is the word
to apply so this heating and ventila-
ton. Where a school room is heated
by either wood or coal stove in the room,
mischief must result; even with the
very best attention the teacher can give.
In some cases the consequences would
be a sorrow to them, if they knew their
origin. The scholars nearest the stove
must be too warm for health, or the
furtherest off will be too cold for their
good. OF the two, the latter are the
more fortunate ones. 1t is seldom one
takes cold going out of doors if the skin
is cool when starting out. If one is
heated, or warm enough so the skin is
trife moist, or even the pores open,
then the change may cause {. sudden
shrinking; throwing upon the vital
organs, the poison or waste material
which will help to cause catarrh.
School children sitting near the stove
must feel sudden chill strike them on
going out in cold weather. Those fur
therest from it will run and jump, until
they are very warm; and get chilled
sitting in a temperature too low for
them. A temperature of less than 500
Fahrenheit, makes sluggish circulation;
and too much heat causes congestion.
4 Either will reduce mental capacity for
the time; making study difficult and
lessons half learned. Put the improper
. temperature, and the hot perhaps too
: sour, or too heavily dOsed with Soda
pancakes, and pork, or sausage of the
2 average breakfast, together; and the
teacher may feel irritable, and the
: missed lessons bring punishment I'M
: Inerited by lack of effort. The body
works as one whole machine; one whee
e cannot work backward, or stop, with
i out arrangement of the whole mechan
f ism. Natural brain action cannot re
|. suit from cold feet, or hot cheeks. Any
[. thing causing sleepiness will hinde
e study. Little girls generally have al
e extra wrap for outdoor wear in COLI
,r weather. But many boys go home a
