child whose teeth are in a bad condition
can be expected to do the work of a

most prolific causes OF non-attendance at
school. and consequent tagging in the
grades. This is costly matter to the
schools Each child who fails OF promo

must repeat his years work, costs the
taxpayer the price Of his education twice

outset is vastly cheaper.
The children enter school in evident bad
health, and from the first are under the
care of the school physician and the
school nurse. Always they are dwarfed

The play takes its name from the con-

Sixteenth Century Inns.
From the Atlantic.

Supervision over the inns was far
stricter than at present, especially in
Italy. At Lucca and at Florence all the
inns were in a single street. and in many
towns the new arrival was taken before
the authorities by the guard at the gates
before he was allowed to choose his inn,
to which he would be conducted by a
soldier. At Lucca, too. was a depart
ment of the judiciary which was specially
concerned with strangers; and to this the
innkeepers had to send a daily report of
each guest. Yet, to judge by the tourists
accounts the supervision might well have
been carried further and reports upon
the innkeepers required from the tourists.
Such a system of double reports would
have been a check on the numbering inn
keeper, to whom there are occasional
references. A landlord at Poitfers was
detected. in the middle of the seventeenth
century; and at Stralesund, so runs an
other tale. 500 q persons had disappeared
