Color and It's Effect Upon Emotions Of Children

Orange is fully vibrant, it is an
upward color, lifting the spirit.
1t is happy color, and is excel
lent for use in the room of child
who reeds warmth OF spirit and
mind.
For the youngster who is full
of vigor, bubbling over with
energy which doesn't even want
to sign off" long enough for
him to sleep, room in which
The general color scheme is of
green, will prove pacifying ana

even be given a room in which
blue is the predominating note
without i'll effects. Violet is also
passive and subduing.
Red, while most human, en-
Iivening color. should be used
with exceeding care and spar
ingly. F'or the playroom, single
bright splash of red, in pillow,
Or large chest of toys, is well
come and stimulating.
Try asking your child his
favorite color, and give him
plenty of that color In his sur
roundings. He will not know
why it is that he wants thai
color; you may not know why he
does nor what need it meets in
his emotional life, but we gen.
orally want colors whcih are Civ.

HEALTH FOR
TEACHERS

In teaching health, the mental
and physical condition OF the
teacher is a vital consideration,
DIR. j. Mace Address declares in
the school department. recently
inaugurated in Hygeia. the health
magazine, published by the AM
erican Medical Association.
The teacher who does not
practice the rules of healthful liv-
ing cannot expect to get results
any NOR than an instructor in
mathematics who does not know
how to solve problems. The
teacher who stands erect, for
instance, needs say little about
posture. Her presence alone is a
constant reminder.
1t has been found that one Of
the by-products of health teaching
is the Improvement in the teach
er's heath, Good health is the
basis of enthusiasm and optimism
and the teacher who does not
have it is handicapped In her
work, DIR. Address believes.
The 20 franc 60 cents notes

ton will be issued in their place.

DRESS HINTS
FOR MEN

Men should dress more as women
do for health purposes. writes DIR.
Leonard Hill, eminent British med
ical authority, in the November
issue of the Forum. He advocates
open-necked blouses and exposure

Men are hide.bound by fashion
and continue to confine their necks
in close fitting collars" his Forum
article reads. There is probably
no better garment for comfort
than the loose fitting tennis shirt
open at the neck. 1t is high time
men took to this. not only in rec.
reation. but in business. The trou-
ser is an excellent garment for
protection against the yagaries Of

In that. But mems, dress as

The mothers of those days

large areas was producer of
melancholia, slippery hill down
