Health of School Children.

Proper attention to the health Of
children Is an excellent civic invest
ment. A great part Of the diseases
which develop as chronic in after life
could be obviated by closer medical
superstition of children's health. Es-
pecially defects in hearing, eyesight
or teeth can be checked In early life,
while in later years they become too
confirmed to yield to treatment. The
investigation of the board of educa-
ton have shown that a majority of
the school children have either de-
fective eyesight or a tendency to bad
vision. 1t is now proposed to ex-
anime the school childrens teeth al
30. This experiment has been tried in
Germany. where attention to the
teeth has improved the eyesight and
the hearing by improving the diges-
ton of the children treated. 1t Is as
necessary for a child to have sound
senses and good bodily health as men
tai development In the majority of
the occupations at which the present
school children of the present will in
future years earn their livelihood,
sound health and good physique will
be of more value than education frills.

that end he introduced the silk industry
