first time to an appreciation Of what the
American child may become physically
and mentally, provided that the phys!-
clan and scientist interest themselves in
the problems Of the schools. and the
teacher and educator realize the impor-
tance OF scientific and medical collab-
Grafton in their labOrs. Il is not the
study Of large numbers Of scnooI chill

the needs OF children. We begin TO
realize that through Instruments Of prc-
cisiOn, by exact methods of observation.
we can possess ourselves of as much
knowledge Of the child's body in health
as OF the adults body in disease, and
by knowledge thus attained. guide in
teiligently the growing forces of the
young, and prevent the conditions aris-
ing which permit disease.
For instance, we may use an ipstru-
ment called the wet spirometer as a
means Of testing lung capacity. and
ascertain whether the child is below
average a its power OF breathing and
also Of tissue oxygenation. This i'm
pOrtant matter is commonly ignored and

method has been applied TO his needs,
and. instead of being punished for
stupidity which he could hot help, he
is aided in the way which could help
him-namely, Dy medical science.
The studies in which have been en-

belief that 90 per cent Of all children

The cars approached each other at =
high rate of speed and the impact was
so terrific that the motor car ana
trailer were telescoped by the traction
car. There was no warning and few
passengers had time to escape by
jumping. The passengers, nearly all
OF whom were en- route TO the Coles

crushed or manned where they sat in
their seats. Some OF them who es'
capped and who were able to speak.
said the scene at the wreck was

were shrieking with pain and children
were crying for mothers who were
thought to be among the dead. When
