bertville, and especially to the Board
of Education:
Why have our children in the Gram
mar and High Schools been deprived
of the ten or fifteen minutes inter-
mission. which until recently they
haye always been allowed? Isn't the
HEALTH of the girl or boy matter of
some Importance? This deprivation,
especially among our Grammar pupils
causes, l am told, great deal of an
noyance to the teachers, who must of
necessity excuse the major portion of
those under her charge-one at time
all through the recitations being
conducted. We are too prone to for
get we were once children, ourselves;
and the necessities of the boys and
girls of today are in no wise different
from what they were when we we're
pupils. In this age of progress, the
health of the children who attend our
schools should be the FIRST consider
alton; and would it not be better to
start the years work RIGHT by Gre
pealing" a law which works no good
to either PUPIL or teacher. j.
