MOTHERS AND THEIR RESPONSE
BiLITlES.

Mothers have much intrusted to
them that concerns the preservation
of the health of the community. Upon
them largely rests the sacred care OF
the well-being of the household; and
it is therefore of the. utmost import
ance that they should possess an ade-
quate acquaintance with at least the
elementary principles that underlie
effective hygienic practice. The ply
stefan has after all only a secondary
part to play in the maintenance OF
health he is called only when some
disturbance occurs that is beyond the
power and the skill of the usual guar
dian of the home.
The mother has to care for the diet
of the children, both in health anu in
sickness; she has TO see that they are
sufficiently ana sensibly clothed; ana
it is her duty to attend to the sufti-
cient sanitary arrangements of the
house. She ought to ,be able to guard
gaainst the dangers to which children
are exposed. and to make use of ef-
fective remedies when accidents be-
fall as, when ordinary ailments of a
comparatively tTifiing character set in.
All this presupposes and requires
some competent knowledge of the
commonest laws of health, ana some
fair amount of skill in the putting OF
these into practice. But how often is
grievous loss occasioned, and even the
sacrifice of valuable lives, by the want
of such knowledge, There are few
more pressing needs, therefore. than
the instruction of women in those i'm
portant matters which so profoundly
affect the health of the household.
