JOHNNY JoNEs's" TROUBLES.

In practical hygiene the effort and sue
cess OF the student 10 follow out the in
structions in hygiene on matters Of cleanli-
ness Of the face and finger nails, mouth,
teeth, hair and clothing form the greater
part OF this item. The effort to encourage
personal hygiene is commendable, despite
certain serio-cornic comments upon the
grading OF Johnny Jones on his attainments
in the fine art OF washing behind his ears,
keeping his finger nails free from mourn
ing" his hair brushed and his teeth clean.
To be sure. no account may be taken Of
the fact that Johnny's personal belongings
do not incluGe comb and brush, that
toothbrush is an unknown quantity in his
home, and that cold water and rough soap,
even when diligently applied, may be in
eTectusl in removing the CRIME acquired
in some Of the cfty's quarters. The Board
OF Education and the teachers OF physical
training are doing the best they can under
the circumstances TO inculcate the princi-
pies of personal hygiene, and no doubt
much good will result from including this
branch among those in which the pupils
must make a passing grade" in order 10
De promoted.
The Society for Improving the Condition
of the Poor is doing q great deal toward
supplying the deficiencies in the home life
of the children OF the poor, thus lessen4Hg
the hardships which compulsory education
would otherwise infiict upon such families,
and materially assisting the teachers in
their efforts 10 overcome the physical short
comings OF the pupils. OF the 1855 fam
lies TO which this society gave material
aid last year. large proportion Of the
members were children, many Of whom
would have been unable to comply with the
school law but for the aid which they re-
cetved.
OF greater significance than the section
referring TO practical hygiene is the new
ruling which deals with the grading OF pu-
pills IN posture. Good posture" says the
above mentioned document. "is an express
sion Of vigor as well evidence Of a
correct physical habit. A student should be

NEED OF EXAMINATION.

faults of school children The entrance
physical examination should include these
conditions, but the public at large will need
to be educated up to the idea Of allowing
the teachers Of physical training in the
public schools to make the necessary physi-
cal examination which will lead 20 the de-
lection and correction Of such conditions.
Nail biting, facial griInaces and the many

some Of the results Of these uncorrected de-
