We are all glad when our friends do

with them when sorrow sets its seal
npon the home and all the day Is dark

them so, but it is easy to let the OPP
lortuniiy got crowded out and soon it
is forgotten. We love our family and
friends, but we feel it is unnecessary to
express it in words. Our little daughter
is pretty, there is no doubt about it: but

LOOK OUT FOR THE CHILDREN.
The growing number of children with
"a tendency to curvature of the spine
is attributed by DIR. Lutner II. Quick
director Of physical training in thc New
York public schools TO the constant carry
ing of heavy books TO ana from school
The trouble usually begins in the
seventh grade when the average number
Of books carried homo for study is four
with weight of five or six pounds
These are ordinarily carried on the left
| arm by 60 per cent. of both boys and
girls, with the result that the carriage Of
! 4 he body is bent to one side, in direct pro-
portion to weight of books carried.
| The children most liable TO be affected
! by this custom are thos" Of weak mus
| culation; the proud ambitious. nervous
e,rl being specially susceptible To coun-
teract this unfortunate tendency. Or.
Gulicii advises that oilrren be taught
and watched, to Gee that they carry
hooks on each side tcrnatoly. or else
to follow the practice of European schools
where pupils carry their books home in
modified form OF knapsack the weight
of which rests on the back.
| TO PREVENT TIE SPREAD OF
DiPlITHERIA.
| ANotHtf lllInS tnat tnll0rcn necu TO be
warned about is tho exchange of pencils
and the wettins Of the latter in the
mouth. The spread of diphthcria in :,
school has often been traced to this
cause. Pencils may become infected also
by being kept in one box, so that now
careful teachers in collecting pens or
pencils see TO it that each childs writing
material is kept separately in manila en-
