ENOUGH SLEEP FOR CHILDREN

Jean Williams, NJ d.. who is con-
Quoting a department of advice to
mothers for Woman's Home Compan-
ion, says in the October issue;
Let me say a few words TO the
mothers who forget that their grow
ing children need long sleeping-hours
in order that healthy growth shall be
continued and a well-organized ner-
vous system become established. 1t
is especially important that good
Judgement shall be exercised during
puberty. Great physical demands are
made at this period, and the wise
mother makes every effort to avoid
for her children unnecessary dissipa-
ton of energy.
ut is not easy to state definitely
the number of hours of sleep requir-
ed, as there are individual require
ments that will materially modify any
rules; still We may safely say that
in the great majority of cases after
early infancy, when the normal child
sleeps most of the time, at least
twelve out of the twenty-four hours
Should be spent in sleep. Until six
years of age the daily nap should lie
added to this. The twelve hours
of sleep should continue until the
tenth year, and longer IL the child
is delicate or of especially sensitive
nervous organization. From ten to
fourteen years ten hours OF sleep are
usually required. and often twelve
would be advantageous; from fourteen
until full maturity the sleeping-hours
are as a rule. more irregular than at
any other period Of life. and then the
effort must be made to compensate
for the short hours by longer in
diligence when opportunity offers.

An exposure of the methods employ

the next legislature.
The liquor classes have had a high

last twelve months. He has been

SOLID FACTS ABOUT TOBACCO
DEPOT STREET

The question whether the use OF
tobacco results in bodily injury or not
has been long discussed from both
sides. It is we'll known what grounds
Berea College has taken upon this
question, forbiddlng entirely the use
of tobacco. Recent testimony upon
the evil effects of tobacco has been
furnished as the result of observations
made at Yale and Amherst.
A record of the users Of tobacco has
been kept at Yale for the past eight
years, for the main purpose Of deter
mining the number of men who began
the habit while in college, and, from
the uniformity of the records, consider
able confidence has been felt in the
results obtained.
II this growth be expressed in the
form of percentage, 1t will be seen
that in weight the non-users, increas-
ed 1O.4 per cent more than the reg
ular users and &c more than the oc-
casional users. In the growth OF
height, the non users increase "a
per cent more than the regular users
and u per cent more than the oc-
casional user. In the growth of chest
girth, the non-user has an advantage
of % per cent, but in capacity of
lungs the growth is in favor of the
non-user by rs per cent when COM
pared with the irregular users.
1t has long been recognized by the
ablest medical authorities that the
use of tobacco is injurious to the res
piratory tract, but the extent of
its influence in checking growth in
this and in other directions, has. l
believe, been widely underestimated
DR.. Sewers conclusions in regard
to the dwarfing effect of tobacco are
fully corroborated by the following
statement by Professor Edward Hitch
cock, NJ. D., of Amherst College, more
recently published:

Talk With Teachers, No. 4.

A teacher once asked me, what
according to your experience is the
most poorly taught subject given IN
the public school course" and l am
still hunting for an answer to the
question. Each branch in turn seems
to be the one, as a person thinks
over his experience. Arithmetic, Geo
graphy. Language, are certainly strong
candidates, but l shall cast my vote
at this time for reading and devote
a short space to discussing the sub
ject.
NV chief reason for believing as
do is that the schools fail to make
readers out of the pupils. The mere
ability to read is of but very little
use. The fact that farmer has
plow and horse in the barn or an
ak at the wood pile does not always
mean that there will be a well till
ed field or wood for the wife to get
dinner with. These tools must be
used before they become OF value.
find many teachers who can read
fairly well but who are very hard put
to it to name three books which they
have ever read. Can any one wonder
that parents keep their boys and girls
at home to work when you are teach
ing them a subject which is practi-
cally useless to you? would not teach
my own children to read If l thought
they would make as little use of the
art as many school teachers do.
II you do not have some good book
in your possession now which you are
reading borrow or buy one at once
and begin reading. If you do not
you are as blind to your own interests
and duty as the man who has a
farm and team and tools and begs
for bread. Begin by really reading
the reading lessons which you are
supposed to teach your pupils. Read
them silently. read them aloud. think
of what they contain, enjoy them
and then you can really teach them.
Up to the fourth grade the reading
lesson is very largely mechanical

o. You must give the thought and
the interest while the detail Of
word recognition, punctuation, pro-
nunciation, are being mastered. After
that time the art of reading should
be so well In hand as to become a
