rs to 81. All gentle hearts are
wrung by the suffering of child
rem in the foreign lands during
this war, but many as yet fail
to realize that an almost equal
ly great slaughter of the inno-
cents is going on silently all
the time in our own country,
in the. strenuous struggle for
existence. And in all and thru
all this, they suffer from ma
ternal ignorance, because no
one has taught their mothers
how to care for them intelli-
gently. In New Zealand, in
every town and country dis
trict. a goyernment-trained
nurse gives instructions to all
mothers in the proper care of
babies. Many children of
school age suffer from prevent
able troubles, and altho it is
not expected that the teacher
will be able to act as an expert
in physical education, she
must spread the gospel of san
itation, and since the physi-
cal developm ut Of
children is fully as important
as their mental development,
there should be in every county
a trained health supervisor,
nurse, to cooperate with the
County Supt. of Schools in
maintaining uniformly high
health standards, as we'll as
intellectual standards, in the
schools. 1t will be found to
fully compensate for the added
expense, in the prevention of
disease and the developing of
stronger men and women. The
question of health in schools as
we'll as homes demands the
most earnest attention of faith
ers and mothers.
