Show Health in the Schools. This country has at last begun to wake up to the fact that lack of proper sanitary and medical methods la our schools has been causing a vast amount of absolutely unnecessary bad health; that bad health is often the soe cause of dullness or unruliness on the part of the pupil .and that all these things are too destructive to '.he future lives and success of pupils to be longer neglected. If the schools demand supervision over our children for so large a part of their young lives then the schools must live up to this responsibility for bodies as well as for minds. , Sanitary surroundings, the spread cf contagious diseases, proper food for lunches, such physical defects as bad teeth, adenoids, poor eyes all these things we have finally learned are of vital importance.
