WHAT CHILDREN SHOULD
KNOW

In Bible days even the grownups
were called the "Child of God".
Children was term of endearment
in the days of old.
The doctors of the country have
been making a deep study of child
rem and their welfare for many years.
They have found that it is very es-
sential that children should have the
right kind of food, and not eat too
much candy and sweets, and that they
should not be jealous, or cultivate
fear, or get angry. 1t has also been
found that children must have plenty
of recreation and play, and that if
they are good they will grow up as
healthy and good men and women.
Their health is largely in their own
keeping, 50 children should think "a
bout these matters.
The Government has got up a mo-
ton picture film on posture" =" 1t
shows how important it is to sit up
straight with your shoulders back,
as the slumping over should be left
to grandma and grandpa, who can't
help it. Children who sit and stand
straight grow up as fine men and
women.
Thousands of naughty boys and
a. tolr i,,tn 10
lie courts last year. Some of them
were kept in custody as long as four
months before they realized that the
best friends that they had in the
world were their parents, and then
they get anxious to get back home
where folks loved them.
A great deal of attention is being
given by thoughtful people to the
subject of child labor. Children are
being protected by the Government
and by the states against being over
worked in order to earn money. But
lazy children are not credit to them
selves nor to their parents, and while
| they should not have to do hard work
like their fathers and mothers they
should be perfectly willing to help
their parents do the things about the
home, and when they are out togeth-
er.
When boy is ten years old he
should be ST inches high and weight
65.3 pounds. A girl at the same age
should be 5.3 inches high and weight
62.3 pounds. AS they get older the
boy at fifteen should be 62.3 inches
high and the girl Gil inches high
The boy should weigh little heavier
than the girl.
