NO "LAZY" CHILDREN
THEY ARE EITHER ILL OR POOR
LY NoURIsHEp.
New Scientific ~Pedagogics Declares
the Normal Child is interested,
Alert, Bright minded n
Full of Physical Vivacity.

In many way the world is growing
less cruel. For this we must largely
thank the scientific spirit which is
daily recognizing more and more OF
the affairs of life which belong to its
department. 1t is coming into fasnlon
not TO kick the man who is down, but
to call a committee to inquire into
why he Is down and that leads natu'
rally to helping him up. The e
method is to be welcomed most OF all
as it bears upon the destinies of little
children.
The new scientific pedagogics no
longer divides children summarily into
good and bad. stupid and clever. On
the contrary, it takes close cognizance
of the wonderful relation between
mind and body, stomach and brain
and learns thereby that persons, and
above all children, are much more nat
urally divided into the sick or the
we'll. the hungry or the fed, the weak
or the strong.
Both in this country and in Europe
Investigations of his matter have
been made. with significant results
One fact proved by them is that there
Is no such thing as a lazy" child. The
normal child is interested, alert, bright
minded. full of waking curiosities
about the world into which he has
come and endowed with an almost I'M
quenchable physical vivacity. What,
then is the matter with the little, IN
ert, stupid, dull-eyed creatures for
ever at the bottom of the class, who
eve put a question or seem to pass
a given point?
The matter is that they are i'll.
Some of them are hungry, and it is as
hopeless to expect a child to study
we'll when he needs food as it would
be to expect a fire that needs fuel to
burn we'll The hunger may be due
to an actual lack of food or it may
be that the teeth are in such poor con-
dition that the child cannot chew and
therefore does not digest. Or ii may
be that the food offered to it at home
is entirely unsuited to its needs.
Some Of the children cannot hear
well and some cannot see. They do
not complain because they do not
know what is the matter. They ac-
cept constant rebuke and defeat with
the dumb justification of ignorance.
Many of them have never drawn one
natural breath since their birth. ow-
Ing to the presence of enlarged ton
sils and adenoids.
These children can never compete
with their fellows until all these hin
rance have been removed. Some
recent Investigations made by a
French physician show that among
well nourished children only 10 per
cent have physical defects, while
among the poorly nourished over so
per cent. suffer from these defects.
This question OF feeding is being
met In many cities both here and
abroad By the supplying OF a substan-
tial luncheon either free or at a nom.
