2 Col. Francis W. Parker, one Of the
nations greatest educators when
asked by teacher what he would, do
under certain intolerable conditions,
replied, in his CHARACTERISTIC way,
DO? Why, would raise the d DID,
dead" The writer yields to no, one in
his appreciation of the work done in
the public schools, but he is not blind
to the fact that they have grossly ne
elected or ignored the one matter that
IS most important of all-the founda-
tion on which all else rests-the care
of the health of children in school.
1t becomes the duty of any one having
a guilty knowledge of these conditions
to help ring an awakening bell that
will raise not the dead but the living
to heed the bitter cry of the children.
A new childreu's crusade is needed,
not by the children this time, but in
their behalf for their rescue from the
intOlerable conditions to which prac-
tically all, in varying degrees, are sub
jected in the process of getting an ed
ucation. ''If the fathers and mothers
had actual personal knowledge of the
conditions which surround their chill.

The Adair County news., 1915-05-05

Once upon time the citizens of a GER
tain city were greatly interested in
the nurture and training of children,
and when the question arose as to
whether they should build great
public school, or open play grounds. it
was decided to open Fairgrounds.
Now it came to pass, in the course of
years that the citizens of that city ad-
vanced so far beyond the rest of the
human race, that in all the centuries
since, the nations that have gone on
building public schools and neglecting
to open Fairgrounds, have not been
able to catch up with them even to
this day We hear much nowadays
about retardation in our publicschoOls,
the tagging half and other expressions
indicating awakening perceptions as
to some of the weak places in our SyS-
tenn of education. Our neglect of san
itary and health conditions is more
than sufficient to account for most of
the retardation that our present de-
gree of enlightenment on this subject
hasyet discovered. 1t is significant that
this association, with sections devoted
to art, to music, to the kindergarten,
and to high school athletics, and dur
ing the fifteen years of its existence
has discussed again and again at its
annual meetings, almost every other
conceivable aspect OF the child's ed
ucation, has never once until the pres
ent year, included in its program any
topic relating to school sanitation or
the health of school children. The
blame for these defects in our system
OF education, rests both on the home
! aud the school AS teachers, and su.
perintendents, we have weakly yield

a. consequence, the emphasis within
the system has tcorrespondedG too this
pressure from without, to the neglect
of the childs physical needs! The
things that affect health and power Of
doing in school include the architect
ure of the building, its heating, light

yen:ence. 1t has come about that To-
cal architects, often mere carpenters
and contractors, are employed to de-
sign school houses; men utterly unac-
quainted with the sanitary require
ments of lighting, heating and venti-
lation involved, AS result of each
such unfit building, generations of
children are condemned to insanitary
conditions that in many cases are SIM
ply appalling. Only architects who
study and design school buildings ex-
clusively should be employed. Every
State should speedily require by this
legislation. As some already flayedone,
