ANNUAL MEETING

12t. Commissioner of Rcvenu
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-12-02

@. My little boy of three years
has two or more small Jumps on
each side Of his back, seemingly on
the glands. He has always been
strong and healthy and ! would like
to know the cause OF this trouble,
and If it is likely to develop into
anything of a more serious nature.
He sometimes complains of feeling
tired. and some days is dull and
stupid. He drinks a great deal of
milk, but cares little for other food.
What is the best thing to do for
him?
A. With regard to the enlarged
glands of the neck, you will find
that these will probably disappear
II your child is taught to observe
certain rules of hygiene; namely.
taking plenty of exercise in the open
air and sunshine, sleeping with the
windows open and partaking of
sufficient quantity of nutritious food.
In addition to drinking milk. a
child of this age should eat green
vegetables once every day. Proper
feeding means something more than
quantity, because many articles OF
diet contain what are known as ac-
cessory food factors of unknown
chemical composition which have a
marked influence on the well-beins
of the ace.
I would advise you to have your
child's teeth examined. because fire.
quently enlarged glands Of the neck
are due to material absorbed from
decayed teeth and iniamed gums.

DIsRUPTING THE SCHOOLS.

What between registration days, primary day,
election day, the regular legal holidays. which
now occur once a month or oftener, and the half
sessions every time It rains a little, one is in
clined TO wonder how 1t is possible to make any
progress in teaching the children these days.
with all the frills that are added to the school
curriculum year by year all crowding in more
and more on the few hours that the schools are
I'm session., and then with the constant disrup-
ton of the studies by holidays and half sessions
there is little wonder that much fault is found
with the ordinary training in the fundamentals
that the average child now receives.
Continually disrupting the hours of classes by
beginning school at 8 o'clock in the morning to
close at noon, by having only one session on
rainy days and with the closing of school al
together in order that the buildings may be used
for other purposes, 1t can hardly be said that
the child is given a fair chance.
Yesterday the EVENING NEWS received
from p. p. Claxton. United States Commissioner
of Education, a great amount of material to be
used in connection with school Week" which
he has proclaimed for the week Of December
5-11. At the same time the press Is invited
to discuss educational conditions in general.
When the Are alarm yesterday announced that
there would be no school In the afternoon. pre-
sumably because 1t was somewhat stormy In the
morning, our thoughts turned to the amount of
time lost and the general disruption Of studies in
the schools for one cause or another.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
WEARY OF IRTUE

For months I save the dx1lars with energy
sublime, and wear old shoes and collars to
save another dime. For months ] am a stu
dent of thrift In every guise: 1 am so beastly
prudent I make men blink their eyes. /
preach on self denial beneath my own roof
tree, till life becomes a trial to all who live
with me. For months / keep on raving about
the penny gained: then I get sick of saving,
by thrift my soul is panied. And so 1 blow
my money as though I had no sense, and live
on milk and honey, regardless of expense; 1
patronize the tailor and buy a fordmobile,
and like a jingled sailor 1 burn the hard earn
ed wheel. Then. tired of misbehaving. I
gently simmer down. and once again I'm
saving the guilder and the crown. And such
a course seems dotty to people safe and
sane, who think such orgies naughty, andvil-
famous and vain. But saving. though a vir-
tue. may soon become a fault that's bound
to badly hurt you. unless you call a halt be-
for the shining dollar to you seems so inn
mense that all the world looks smaller than
its circumference The thrifty man Is wiser
than is the spendthrift jake: but, oh. the
greedy miser. He makes my innafds ache.

nt7 One may enjoy sutomobiling while another
would rather play golf. Is one to be permitted
and the other forbidden? But II some like
golf. others like baseball. Is there any more
harm in baseball than there is in golf?
As on Of the ministers in New York said last
Sunday in preaching oh the subject, it is largely
a matter of conscience. What may be perfectly
proper for some may be wrong for others be-
cause there is something inside of them that
tells them they are doing wrong.
There is good ground for forbidding the COM
mercializing of the Sabbath. In fact, as few
people as possible ought to be made work on
that day. To ues the day for the purpose of
personal gain or profit is not in keeping with
the American idea of Sunday. Only such bust
ress and such commercial activities are abso-
ldtely essential ought to be done on Sunday. But
when 1t comes to rest and recreation, each per-
son ought to be left to decide for himself. There
are a thousand different ways of resting and en-
joying ones self and all may be perfectly pure
and innocent. The effort to make Sunday the
same as It was in the days of the Puritans when
the only time a man could lawfully appear on
the streets on Sunday was in going to and from
church, cannot succeed in this age and genera
ton.

the features will contract from time

The breathing is regular, easy

first weeks Of life, breathing may
be irregular in perfectly normal
babies. This should excite no alarm
unless associated with other abnor-
NAL conditions, such as hot skin
and flushed face.
Baby should breathe through the
nose and keep the mouth closed.
Mouth breathing or habitual hold
ing the mouth open usually indicate
enlarged tonsils or adenoids or some
other obstruction to the breathing
which needs the attention Of a
physician.
The skin of the healthy baby Is
warm, slightly moist and a healthy
