THE STORE OF QUALITY
Does Your Child Get Enough
Sloen3

AT the beginning of the school
year, one of the most important
habits to be established" says a
bulletin from the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health" is that of an early bedtime
with plenty of sleep for growing
children. People who are thought
full in every other way about the
health of their children are carelessly
indulgent when it comes to the ques-
ton of sleep. Parents in one of the
large cities in the West have set an
example to fathers and mothers else
where by signing a new sort of
pledge-one in which they promise
to do all within their power to see
that their growing children get the
requisite hours of sleep that are ne
cessary for healthy development. The
pledge is issued in connection with
the work of one of the Parent Teach
er Associations and its object is to
raise the standards of health and
school efficiency in the city. The ac-
ton was based on the realization,
first, that there can be no real and
permanent health without sufficient
sleep, and second, that the response
bility for getting the necessary rest
for the children, falls upon the par
ents. They therefore resolve and
agree to make every reasonable eff
fort to have their children, under
twelve years DID,, in bed not later than
half past eight, and those from
twelve to fifteen, in bed not later than
nine o'clock for five nights of the
week during the school year.
'In connection with this plan it is
interesting to note that the minimum
sleep requirements agreed upon by
medical authorities for children of
various ages, are as follows:
Under 5 years, II hours every
night; to 7, IL to IL hours; to II,
10 to II hours and IL to Is years, 10
hours.
There should always be plenty of
fresh air in the room and if possible
the child should sleep alone"
