"Many !f these might be prevented by ' the exercise of simple precaution.

Tet comparatively few parents take the (rouble to ;have their children gone over by , a doctor and put ln shape L. fore aUrtlng them on a nine months tour ln search of knowledge. As a result there are frequent and 'sometimes prolonged stops for repairs. re-pairs. "A simple examination ty a vision, three of the most commori causes of scholastlo absenteeism.

The result' would be that the child's chance-of chance-of having a school year uninterrupted uninter-rupted by sickness for cause would , be greatly Increased.

"The strain of a nine months ' term can be greatly relieved by an unhandlcapped start Headaches, Head-aches, anemia, Ustleaaoeas are not common associates of good health, and they are great handicaps to the .child student."
