and from 10 to IL they should sleep
at least 10 hours out of the "a. Old
fashioned mothers will tell you that
some children require less sleep than
others. Perhaps-but just remember
that If you expect your 10-year-old TO
be ready for the day at half.past six
in the morning he must be in bed
ready to sleep before half-past eight
the night before.
The average weight for children of
10 is CO. pounds, the average height
is 50 inches and the average chest
measurement is 26 inches. But health
experts now attach less significance
to these averages-beeause what is
normal and favorable to the health OF
a naturally small child is not sufficient
to the child whose adult normal size
is to be greater. For this reason 1t is
better to take the figures showing the
average gain of normal children. The
naturally small boy of 10 should gain
six pounds and the large boy seven
pounds. For girls the figures are
and II pounds. Girls, you see, are ex-
pected to grow more rapidly than
boys at this stage. But a few years
later they need not gain SO much.

1.-THE average age at which the
talent for music is shown" is said to
be between the tenth and eleventh
year. The great italian composer
Verdi was a successful organist at
LIE Roncole when he was this age.
and Clara Shuman made her debut be-
fore she was IL. Many great must
clans had developed remarkable tai
ent even before this age, and we are
inclined to be amazed at the precoclty
of almost all great musicians.
This is not quite as remarkable
when we bear in mind that of all the
talents that for music is the earliest
deyeloped. Scientists may infer from
this that in the history of the human
race music was the first Of the arts
to be developed. Very primitive folk
made rude, frawings-just as children
debut. races do not seem to develop
a talent for painting and drawing that
cam be called a real fine art until
after they have become pretty pro-
fieient musicians. So, although great
uainters often displayed their talents
FL childhood, they are not apparently
20 preeocious as musicians. One thing
that the parent or teacher may con-
c1ude is that If a child even with
announcement has not shown musicai
taste or talent by the time he is II.
the chances are that he will never be
much OF a musician. Other talents
may be backward in development.
Among prececions painters was Gains

tree and picturesque cottage near his
home at this age.
The years between 10 and IA con-
stitute the healthiest period in child
hood. The 10-year-old is less suscepti-
Bile to disease than younger children
and often children who have been
quite delicate in early childhood begin
to become more robust. But it is
important that children of this age
