It would be well if the large stores which cater for the needs of the 'working classes would stock school children's garments of a more hygienic type than those which are now supplied.

This is partly for ornament and partly as a prophylactic against disease; blue beads have a special merit in " keeping away colds or quinsy," and coral is for " luck." Both are probably a relic of the times whe... |

With regard to infectious diseases we learn that these may be of the " inward " or " outward " variety. There is a great dread of any application of soap and... |

Of course, on the asphalte the play in hockey is very fast, and somewhat unfits the girls for field play, but the value of the games cannot be over-estimated, and the girls thorou... |

Moreover, for drainage purposes the asphalte cannot be entirely level, and this is a great drawback in tennis. Other games include bean bags, twos and threes, circular jumping, leapfrog in ... |

After this, the growth is watched daily by the children, and thus they become familiar with the laws of Nature. In other schools, instruction is given in anim... |
