LIFE AND HEALTH

The School Number

The October number of Life and Health will be especially helpful to parents and teachers. In addition to interesting and instructive articles relative to health which always appear in this journal, this number contains many helpful suggestions for maintaining the health of schoolchildren.
It considers the causes of the constantly decreasing birth-rate in civilized countries, as well as the great infant mortality, and points out the natural remedy.
It impresses the importance of the early training of children in habits of cleanliness for maintaining health.
It emphasizes the importance of proper food and clothing for children while attending school, and gives helpful suggestions for the preparation of these requisites of health.
It raises the danger-signal against infection, showing that many common practises of schoolchildren are prolific in spreading disease.
It especially points out the way that schools may become active agents in checking the ravages of that most dreaded disease, tuberculosis.
It depicts the evils of exciting reading and amusements.
It calls attention to some of the defects of present-day education, such as crowding the mind with subjects which will be of no particular benefit, while scarcely touching other subjects, a knowledge of which is essential to future health and happiness.
It holds up Jesus as the true pattern for both learner and teacher of all ages, conditions, and classes of men.
