CITY MORTALITY

The increasing mortality among city
business men has been noticed for a
long time, but, strange to say, the
probable cause has not been mentioned.
The phenomenon is attributed to the
"quick lunch," exposure" Careless
ness" and every other conceivable con-
dition which has existed as long as man
himself. 1t is being discovered that
modern life is actually as bad as war
in eliminating the males. City life re-
places war as a life destroyer, for it is
probably true that the unwholesome
environment of slxyscrapers and mar
row streets, with the inevitable bad air
and overheated air, and the excessive
glare of summer-all proved causes of
nervous breakdown-are at the basis of
city mortality. The women can live
in the suburbs, protected from the dam
gers daily inflicted on the husbands
in this modern form of war. The dam
gers of the struggle for family exist
ence should fall on the men, but
whether the conditions are becoming
menace to society is a question too re-
mote for scientific discussion. At any
rate, the conditions are not wholly
remediable, and everyone should keep
out of the city as much as he can

SCHOOL DAYS

AS school time again draws near our
thoughts must turn toward getting our
children ready for it. See that they
are in the hest possible physical condi-
ton to Withstand the nervous strain
of the school year.
At the best there is considerable
strain on the child first starting into
the work that will take years to COM
plete. The numbers of children en-
countered Is in itself enough to apail
the timid child who is only used to a
few familiar playmates or to none at
all.
The principles of the kindergarten are
undoubtedly right, but even here con-
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-21

All children should be taught to use
one hand as easily and readily as the
other. 1t will increase their powers of
usefulness and will develop the left
side equally with the right. Many
children grow up in one-sided man
per from overuse of the right side. 1t
will also rest the right side to share
the burdens ordinarily put upon 1t in
daily life. 1t is wonderful how the
hands and fingers can be trained. No
matter what is in the way of manual
work which is being learned for the
first time, either hand can be trained
to do it, one as well as the other. 1t
is because we are more accustomed to
see the right hand used instead of the
left that 1t looks awkward to see q
left-handed person.
