The School Children’s Number
By Editor
The special November number of Life and Health is now ready, and all who have examined it pronounce it the best number ever issued. It is called “The School Children’s Number,” because it is made up of matter pertaining especially to their health, habits, conduct, and other topics naturally associated therewith. The following partial outline of contents will reveal something of its adaptability to the needs of the public in connection with the health and development of the millions of children and youth in the public schools:— The Health of School Children from a Physician’s Standpoint; Play Necessary for Perfect Child Development; The Daughter in the Home; Lunches, of what they are to consist and how to prepare them; The School a Home, and the Home a School; At What Age Should a Child Begin School? The Primary School Teacher; Should Schoolgirls Receive Attention from Young Men? Sparkling Editorials on School Hygiene;—Loss of Appetite; Lack of Proper Nourishment, resulting from “pick-up” lunches; Useful Work and Recreation Necessary out of School Hours;—Prevention of Diseases in the Schoolroom; A Moderate View of the Tobacco Evil. The public needs the information contained in this number; and the readers of the REVIEW owe the children and parents of this age diligent service in bringing it to them. The people stand ready to accept it, and to bountifully remunerate those who bring it to them. The first work done for the November number by two agents in Washington, D. C., netted each of them thirty-seven cents’ profit an hour.
