MOTHERS CONGRESS.

Time was when educators gave little,
if any, attention to the physical side of
the child, dealing entirely with the
mental In recent years, however, SO
many mental defects have been traced
to physical Affections, that it is now
necessary in the larger cities for every
child to be examined by physician be-
fore be is allowed to enroll in school
If any ailment is detected such as ade-
noids diseased tonsils, imperfect eyes
or teeth, ailments not generally sus-
pected when child is subnormal, -
treatment is given, either by the family
or school physician, and the child is
started on the road to Good Health,
as we'll as along the highway Of Educa-
ton"
This week we shall consider briefly
the subject of "Adenoids. Adenoid
growths are very common in children
and before you send your child to school,
parents, you should know whether OF
not he is suffering from this disease, or
from any other. The most common
symptom of adenoids is the breathing
through the mouth and very common
results or effects are headaches, head
colds, stammering and deafness. We
are told that children with adenoid
growths contract diphtheria and tuber-
culosis more easily than do others; and
in such children attacks of measles,
scarlet fever whooplng cough, brou-
chitis, etc, will undoubtedly be more
severe. Do not blame your child if he
seems depressed, listless, dull and not
progressing in his studies; be sure he is
normal in health before you criticise
him or his teacher.
