people have shown gift for original
political thinking. From Plymouth in
1920 to Philadelphia in 1776; from the

What the world needs today is cour-

AdenOidS and Children.

1t is stated with almost brutalit,
that great many children are suffer
ing from adenOids, bad tonsils and de
fects of the breathing apparatus an!
throat that will if allowed to continu,
ruin them for life. A noted medica
writer has the following to say on tn
subject:
Not every child who looks lit
tie idiOtic, with open mouth, dull
eyes, short upper lip, prominent
upper tech, high vaulted palate,
drawn, tired, dull expression,
Notwithstanding, restless, snoring
sleep and slight deafness has ade-
nOids. 1t is a serious mistake to
assume that this condition can be
diagnosed by any other method
than feeling the negotiations with
the finger in the throat or seeing
ing them by means of headlight
and nose or throat instruments.
Every child has adenoid tissue
in the roof of the pharynx, just up
behind the soft palate out OF or
binary vision. Adenoid tissue is
tissue such as the tonsils are COM
posed OF. The pharyngeal tonsil
is another name for the adenOid
body. 1t is only when this adenoid
tissue becomes enlarged, like the
tonsils, from frequent infection by
the germs Of the too common
cold" that we say the child or
adult has "adenoids" or "adenoid
negotiations" or "'adenoid hyper
trophy"
School children are more fire.
quently subject to adenoids than
any other class. School children
have "cOlds" more than others, be-
cause Of the close personal contact
in the school room, and because
so many parents are careless and
selfish and ignorant, sending child
rem to school with a frank coryza
or "headcOld" or too soon after
cOnvalescence from such an infec-
tious illness.
No matter what may be the prac-
tlce Of teachers and medical
school inspectors and health adj
illustrators regarding exclusion
Of children from school for these
NOTWITHSTANDING infections, there is
no getting around the fact that
there can be no cOryza, no "cOld,"
without Infection, and hence, it is
unjust to admit to a closed school
room child who has a fresh
cold" a running nose, sore
throat or a cough, be it trif1ing or
otherwise. The open air school
room is another story. Infection
is extremely unlikely to occur
from child to child, in the open
air.
Every slight ''cold in the head"
produces some thickening of the
adenOid tissue If the "colds" come
often the thickening is perma-
nent. That is the simple truth
about adenoids. The schoolroom
is the chief factor-especial the
SchOOlrOOm that knows no recess
when it is not mOlIycOddle weather
outdoors. The overheated home is
the second factor. Adenoids will
require operations as long as peo-
pie to continue to imagine that
colds" are caused by "exposure'
to any particular brand OF wealth
