large school in Alabama has formulated
the following pledge for its members:
I promise:
1. To be as regular in my habits as I
can, to rise at the same hour, retire at
hour each day and not to eat between
meals.
2. Never to sleep in q room without
having at least one wide-open window.
3. To choose food that is nOurishing
and to stop eating when ! have enough.
4. To drink at least eight glasses OF
water each day, two before breakfast and
two before dinner, two after school and
two before retiring.
3. To walk and sit with head and
shoulders well up and chest expanded.
8. To fill my lungs with fresh air before
each meal.
I. To spend as much time in the sun
shine as possible each day.
8. To avoid strong stimulants Of any
kind.
8. To brush my teeth every night and
morning.
10. To bathe frequently so as to keep
all the pores in my body open.
In connection with the study of school
hygiene. much attention is given to the
temperature and air Of the schoolroom.
During the past year series of interest
Ing experiments in schOolroom tempera-
lures was made. 1t was indicated by
these that a highly heated room is pro-
ductive OF many bad results Children
do their best work in a cool room. Dust
In the school atmosphere also has been
pronounced injurious in many ways, and
for this reason floor oil, vacuum cleaners
and many other devices for the abolition
OF dust have been introduced into the
public schools.

1t is found that many school children
suffer from malnutrition, and means Of
suppl ying the
Free Lunch Provided lack in this re-
to Needy Pupils. npev;d rpovt a. a. n n'anS u.nS
schools. New York city provides three
cent lunches for school children. In
cases where the child has not money to
pay for the lunches and his condition in
dicates the need of additional nourish-
ment, 1t may be provided by the school
authorities. An experiment recently made
in this connection developed the fact that
children taking lunch every day for three
months gained ten pounds in weight and
that children without the lunch gained
only three pounds in the same period. In
many cities the penny lunch has been in
troduced with good results. While the
amount Of food furnished for one cent
would necessarily provide but little nutri-
ment, 1t was. at least. better for the
average child to have this small quantity
than to spend the penny for something
more detrimental to his health
One Of the newest innovations in school,
room hygiene is the individual or sanitary
drinking cup, which has now been intro
duced into a great many schools through
out the country. Kansas City has gone
one step farther in providing sanitary
paper towels to be used throughout the
public school building.
