CoDDLING AND SICKNESS

Here is quaint piece of medical logic extracted from an essay on Education of the Child'S Body and Prevention of Postural Deformities. by an authority on the subject of posture and body mechanics, pub lished in Archives of Pediatrics:
 unfortunately the great ma jority of our children, those whose parents regard fresh air and sun- shine as enemies rather than friends, wear too many clothes, too thick clothing and too heavy clothing. As a result the skin be- comes moist ."
 Had the eminent specialist stopped there, what follows might have been a reasonable and, to some par ents and doctors, a sensible con- clusion, for this is what follows:
 From the above we learn that moisture of the skin is a good guide as to the amount of cloth- ing we should put on the child and the rule: if the skin is moist, then the child is dressed too warmly"
 But the eminent specialist didn't stop there. This is what he actual ly said; N
 ". As a result the skin be- comes moist and moderate drop in temperature chi1ls the body and renders the child more susceptible to cold and infections both of which diminish his vitality and thus predispose to poor posture"
 Of course sweating reduces the body temperature-that is the physiological purpose of sweating, to cool the body when the body be- comes too warm.
 Only the veriest old fossil with & nineteenth century medical training could arrive at such conclusion from the mere observation of mois: skin, sweating.
 As long as we have such moss backs in the profession. and in high places too, what chance has the lay man to learn hygiene?
 There is no scientific evidence that coddling, excessive clothing, has anything to do with a child's immunity against infection. reSpir- atory infection or other infection.
 A child, or any one else for that matter, should wear only what he or she finds comfortable, and it is silly to wear anything more than that if the excess feels burdensome or uncomfortable. Except in the morbid imagination of old fossils who were brought up on Dr. Horse feathers Almanac, chilling of the body from insufficient clothing" is purely 8 matter of temporary discomfort and it has no i'll effect on health or immunity.
 I appeal to the common sense of parents, teachers and others who have the care of children. Let the children wear or leave of what they please, in any kind of weather, provided, of course. they are not idiots. Any one who is not an idiot knows when he is comfortable.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

The east coast shipyards have turned out thirty-seven vessels in month-the month of January, We are now turning out ships so rapidly that the completion of just a few more boats is a common everyday occurrence. Boat building, like plane building, is just one of those things that is reduced to two inches of space in the newspaper to make room for news of what the boys are doing in foreign lands, and to what is going on in war activities over a much scattered area. And in the meantime they go on building boats.

Selected Poem
LET SPRING COME SLOWLY

(vera Loveday Harden in The Christian Science
 Monitor) Let spring come slowly to the barren places Hearts that near to tears Cannot bear her swift burgeon1ng Let the young spring hesitate At the edge of the dark wood Before she disturbs the blanket of last years leaves Bid her come quietly Into the lonely corners of the heart With only the shy wood violetS in her hand And with no sudden ecstatsy of song. Let the blue be in no haste to flood the gray sky And the trees be not inpatient in other years; Let the rivers curb the madness of their new free
 dom And the song birds wait. For hearts that have withstood the winter Have no armor Against the sudden music of loved voice Let spring come slowly

Comics are not bad for children stated some educators at a recent meeting of teachers, librarians, parents, publishers, and others vitally interested. Comics may be harmless, but some of them are sort of lurid, wouldn't you say, especially, when you cast your eye over much mot tied page of stories in picture form. Well, perhaps they are not too bad for the mo- rals of children some of them, but they are very bad on the eyeSight.

fett discovered a sub committee scouting around Washington, vis- iting minor officials of the Foreign Economic Administra- ton. Moffett asked them why they didn't go to the top of TEA to Leo Crowley. They replied that they didn't want to talk to Crowley because this would tip him off to the plans of private industry. So Moffett himself went to see Crowley, laid the committees plans on the table, and came to a friendly agree ment.
 Meantime, Thomas cOm- plained that MOffett thinks emotiOnalIy," and so Jimmy fin- ally resigned.

The Joint Army and Navy report on Japanese atrocities in dealing with American and Filipino prison

It calls for firm determina- ton upon the part of civilized man kind to make it impossible for this race of barbarians ever to commit such atrocities again.
