Causes for Stupidity In Children.

Causes for Stupidity IN Children.
The teacher should be close OBJ

when they are failing in bodily STAN
ina as well as when they are not keep
ing up their scholarship record.
Many children have defective eye.
sight, and suffer for want Of properly
adjusted glasses. Their astigmatism,
myopia, or some other error refrac-
ton, does not cause serious discomfort
until the eye strain required to accom-
modate the vision for close work
brings on headache, irritability of tenn.
per and digestive disorders, which so
often perplex even the physician. who
fails to look in the right direction for
the causes of these disorders.
Often little consideration is shown
the stupid members of a class. The
dull boy or girl is always expected to
be at the foot, yet the cause OF the
dullness may be only natural timidity
due to imperfect hearing, mouth
breathing, the result of enlarged ton
sils, nasal catarrh, or growths In the
nose, all of which conditions can cas-
lily be relieved. The health would be
more vigorous, and the normal activ.
ity of the brain would be manifested
in increased ability to acquire knowl-
edge.
