on this point, let him write simple
note to the principal or to the presi-

Defective Scfool Children

Carrying with them these defects,
they are handicapped In the great
game of life.
There 10 a great loss in educating

ton. anyway. 10 to give US a better
citizenship. The old law OF mems sana
In corpore sano certainly applies.

lions. first, to see that they are we'll
born, and next they must be relieved
as nearly as possible from every ply

Education Is supposed to give wea-
pons with which We fight life's bat
ties.
A valuable pamphlet by DIR. Wood
has been printed by the United States
bureau of education. A copy of this
can be secured by writing to the bu-
reau at Washington. In this booklet
will be found a frank but good hu-
mored discussion OF the. subject of
