City Supt. Of New York Public Schools, William
H. Maxwell, in discussing this report, writes in his
report:
Gin discussing improper diet, Dr. Brown finds
excessive use of tea and coffee potent reason for
defect in the child, His remarks upon the use OF
such stimulants by children should be brought home
to every parent ignorant enough to give such bov-
