THE PHYSICAL HEALTH OF 'l`lIE CHILD.
( A. Ethel Dunbrack.)
'l`o better understand the problems of tho health oi children it is neces- sary for us to know o litte about the human body. The body is com- posed of a~ number ol c`clls. joined to- gether to iornl-bone. muscle nerves and other tissues, each depending up- on the other. In order to have good health, it is necessary that the child be lcd properly-its body being sup- pilled with plenty of good food ami drink, fresh air and suilicient cloth- ing and shelter, that it he given plo- per exercise and the care ol the bo- dy and proper habits be enforced. 'l`hc body is supported by a bony fr_ame-_\v`ork called the skeleton, which consists of 205 bones. This frame- work is held together by muscles and libres, and the whole ailair is nour- ished and operated by two kinds of body, the veins which supply blood und the nerves which carry messdgcs to and from the brain and nerve centres. The bones contain both ani- mal ‘and mineral matter and where they connect they are protected by cushions or cartilage and held to- gether by ligaments. When a bone is fractured it is united by the harden- ing of a jelly-like substance which eventually becomes bone. In old per- sons sormtinres the bones unite very slowly and sometimes not at all on account oi the lack of this leliy-sub- stance. It is important that B\”°Bf care be tiiken in old age not to bfvnk the bones, while in. children equal care should be taken not to bend them and cause round shoulders, bowlegs. misshapen heads and other parts- of the humanfranm. it is also necessary that the diet of the child contain the proper principles of nu- trition ior the formation ol bone. namely sufficient _lime to harden the bones as the body matures. _

of an nvenage mixed diet, avoiding
too much sugar, starch or fat and ialso taking care not to reduce foods
these kinds below the quantity rc-
quired for the production of the cn-
of
,crgy which the body requires in-pro-
'to maintain health, without regard to other demands upon strength.
A fruitful cause of poor nutrition
is of the teeth examined every six months to prevent the danger of cracking of the enamel which is the lillst sign of decay, the children should be taught not to crack nuts with their teeth, or to put the teeth to other uses
likely to damage their coating. Some
physicians hold that had teeth are the, cause of adenolds, for which a
child should he examines ll it hshlt-
ually holds its mouth open. .\`o hab- it is mpre dangerous. It destroys the shape ol the lips and teeth, injures _the eyes, affects the voice, causes deafness, besides seriously impairing ,the general health and exposing the child to unnecessary danger of infec- tion through the direct access of ba- terla. to the throat and lungs. The skin, hair, and linger nails should _also be well kept. The hair should be brushed well every day. Wash the head often enough with soap and water, to remove and keep away all scales and dirt, and teach _the child- ren never to use public combs and brushes for fear of getting dsndruil. The value of pure sir is too well known to require lengthy statement here. The child needs it to thrive. Il he can sleep out of doors, so much the better. It is the duty of the mo- thers to sea that schoolrooms are
properly. ventilated and that seats-
and desks are oi the DFOP" l\°i¢hl t0 let children sit comfortably and con- veniently. The child should bo taught to go to hed at a reasonable hour and get plenty of sleep inthe proper pos- ition. By' this I mean that a cbild_ at the age oi' twelve to fourteen should never have less than nine or ten hours' ol sleep out ol the twen- ty-four. 1 `
Clothing is an important question to the comfort of the growinK Child as well' as to its health. Too lmny clotheroften _cause much sickness rather than» too~few.
