.MOLDING THE CHILD
Social Status in the Physica |
Development of the
Student
TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART
In Determining Growth and Weight,
Says Prof. Barnes In an
Address.

In the course of his last lecture on
the training of child before the
county teachers institute, the annual
session of which was concluded yes
terday afternoon at Rock Island high
school, Prof T. l.. Barnes, of Phila-
delphia, said:
I'VE should expect the social status
of children to play an important part
in determining the growth, height
andANieight, because of the difference
in nutrition. in occupation, and in
protection from severe weather. In
England the opportunities fer study
ing these social differences are eX-
cellcnt. One cannot help feeling hat
education will in future concern il
self increasingly with these conditions
of food, occupation and protection
from the weather through clothes
and shelter.
The relation of growth To disease is
a very important question for those
who have the care of children. When
is the body frcest from disease: When
it is in one of its periods of rapid de-
vclopment, or in one of its times of
slow growth. To determine this we
must determine the periods If ac-
celebrated ami retarded growth.
Climate has large influence in
determining The size of growing or
ganism. The changes that are
wrought are, however, slow, and our
knowledge Of man reaches over such
Il limited period that il is hard 10

are influenced by temperature. mois-
ture. light and all other physical con
ditions that make up what we call

AS to the rapidity of growth in
different seasons Of the year il seems
we'll established that children grow
more slowly in winter than in the
summer.

Physical Measurements.


This subject Of physical measure
ment of school boys presents several
problems of the greatest appearances:
What is the relation of physical
to intellectual growth? What.
changes should he made i'm the cur
ricuum for boys. or i'm that for girls
to correspond with their different
rates Of physical growth? 3.-What is
the relation between disease and the
rate Of growth? 4.-Should intellectual
work be emphasized at times Of rapid
or of slow physical growth? what
is the effect of city life on rate of
growth? There are tests to be used to
help teachers and parents i'm sorting
out peculiar cases of variation in the
way of muscular control. These are
used by Mr.. Hancock: Ask the
child To stand with feet close together
and hands at his sides. Is there any
swaying of the body? Try this with
eyes closed. Have him walk around
the room with eyes shut. Does lie
drag either foot? Ask him to sit still
half minute Note any movement
he makes. Ask him to lie on the
floor on his back. How does he get
up?
I'm studying physical development
from the functional standpoint ii Is
much more difficult to put our results
into cumulative expressions than m
studying the problem from the struct-
ural side. DR.. Frances Warner says
he made a superficial examination of
100000 children in London schools
and presented the results i'm number
of books and monographs.
