LONDON, Jan. 20.-How warmth affects dexterity of children in school is revealed in report of the Industrial Health Research Board.
 It was found that where the cool ing power of the air fell to cer- tain point, children were so cold that their manual dexterity was considerably reduced, especially when they were seated for one and three quarter hours at a time.
