ON ROAD TO ruin,
DR.. WILSON SAYS
Application of Adages Bad,
Hygiene Imperative, He
Tells Teachers.

That the old adages Spare the Rod
and Spoil the Child" and "A Child
Should Be Seen and Not Heard" are
responsible for much of the nervous
ness OF children, was the declaration Of
DR.. William H. Wilson. when he lee
tured before the Dcanwood Citizens As
ISOLATION last evening.
"A child seen and not heard is bound
to be dull boy" declared DR.. Wilson.
And the maxim regarding the rod and
spelling the child has been worked over
time. Our juvenile courtf are crowded
daily with boys whose backs show the
signs of whippings. yet this corrective
does not seem to have had the desired
effect"
DR.. wilson's subject was Nervous
ness In Children and How to Avoid It.
His talk was the first Of a series to be
given before teachers and parents Of
school children. directed bv the Ameri-
can Medical Association and the Woni,
ans Clinic, OF this city.
Too many clothes. TOO little sleep,
poor food, and lack Of hygienic care OF
the body were other causes of nervous
ness among school children which, DIR.
Wilson said, Is increasing to an alarm
ing extent,
But the greatest preventative of this
annoyance the physician declared, "is
a healthy moral tone. Nerves are af-
fected by false standards of right and
wrong. Impress your child with the
differences in creed and belief we must
acknowledge as a scientific fact that the
tenets Of Christianity make for living
that Is healthful and hygienic."
