Many a Klrl Is too fond of freedom i

existence revofvea in the smallest
possible circle ? men whose dally ;
horizon is bounded .by th(eir dinner ? |
women whose hope* extends hot f>e

^y^many women can love with In- j
tensity, and when they do, almost In- 1
variably make some fatal mistake,!
whereby the wealth of their affection
is wasted, or wor%e still, becomes a
source of mysery or aha we to them
^ selves and oth?rn.
Some women are . Impelled to an
unaccountable antagonism against

An abundance of pure fre3h air Is
of the groa'.rst Importance to th?
growing child. To secure this with
out draughts is the problem to be
solved. The Ideal solution for the
country schoolhouse Is obtained by
| the use of a jacketed stove and a ven
tilat'ng flue In the same slack with
the 'smoke-flue having nn opening at
ib*.' -'oor. The fresh air, conducted
from outside by a tin pipe or wooden
box. Is lntroducNMnto the room thro"
a hole in the floor immediately under
the stove. The air as It passei be
tween th?> hot stove 'and the jarl.et,
whjch goes down to the floor all
around and envelopes the stove quite
closely, Is warmed and poured Into
the room at the top. The Increase In
the air-pressure resulting therefrom
forces the foul air out through tho
opening of the ventilating flue, which
shoul^^e one foot from the floor aud
on the same side of the room as the
?tove. The outflow of foul air Is In
creased If the ventilating flue la
warmed by cbc smoke flue, whlc1!
?hould bo separated from the ventl- 1
l .'.inj; flue by the (hinucst partition.!
sosslble. ?

A good play ground sho-iid there
fore alvays be provided and it ought
to oo.itnin a ball field. We venture
to say ? thai the expenditure by ths
committee of a very few dollars for
the amusomeni of the children would
ir.rre.ife both ehrollment and attend^
at.ee. Many a parent would send fili
child to school If he was anxious to
go. wlieu otherwise he would not.

rosportslbil'.ty to the children In the
matters pertaining to their health,

;aking this precaution the spread of
diphtheria and scarlet fever may of
t?n be prevented. In rainy weather
the teacher chould see that the wet
feot and damp garments are ? well
dried before sending children to their
seats. In a word, a judicious mixture
of ' the mother with the pedagogue
would often make for health.
A considerable part orthe dullness,
truancy* and backwardness of child
hood, and the nervous breakdowns
occurring in later life, preceded or
not preceded by the above defects of
childhood, are due qpt "to defective
minds, but to the existence of soma
, eaolly directed disease of- the eyet,
'ears, or throat. ,

j Health, after two years' ap^licatlo?

j teachers of this State, say that th<
tests made by the teachers wore no
less efficient than those made b;
spcialhits.
| If a pupil falls to hear an ordinar:
voice, a? In a conversational tone, a
,a distance of twenty feet, an exam!
! nation should be given to determln
I the degree of deafness. Proceed ft1
follows:
Select any six, eight or ten pupil
and .have then stand aa If on the 'cir

teacher, whom fchey face. Is the ema

sentence, such is "It go*d health
br:nj(3 happluees, you and I must
have both." Vary tho words and ten
tcftcen to prevent memorizing.
In this Tray find on t the farthest
distance In feat at which the majori
ty of the puplfe can understand tlM
whispers. ' Each pupil must be called
away fronj tho others to toll what was
hoard, ao they may not hear the re
port given.
This distance wo shall call that tot
tho^ normal ear.
Now test all pupils separately. Find
out the distance at which tho same
whlBpered words and sentences cfen
be understood under the same condi
tions.
Tho first distance you will use as
the numerator of a fraction for every
pupil examined, and the distance at
which each particular pupil under
stands will be the denominator^ For
example. If 10 feet 1b the distance at
which moat of the pupils heard the
whispers, and 5 fopt, or 2 feet, is the
distance at which 'a particular pupil
hears them; the tost will be indicated
thus, 10-5, or 10-2.
From this record the teaqher will
be able to tell, whether or not the
pupil ought to havef the attention of a
physician. ?
Does tho pupil complain of ear-;
ache from time.to time? Does mat
er (pus) or a foul odor come from
either ear? Or is the pupil a mouth
breather? If so, do nOt fail to tako
notice of the condition. f >., |
Notify l?nr??nt? and Guardians. '
I If it appears from examination that
a pupil Reeda (ho attention of the
family physician or a srn?cialiat^_J.ha
teacher should nol hesitate to notify
the parents or guardian. There is
nothing obligatory in the nature of
the warning- cards. They do not re
quire anything. They simply give
warning that a probable disease ex
ists, thus placiug tho responsibility
where It .belongs. ' Thoso In charge of
th??. pupil are at liberty to take notice
of the warning or not, as the/ may
toe fit. . .

The uum'o0?*0ver,<;ach line of these
te3t letters shows the distance in feet
at which a normal eye ought to read
the letters. The lines on the card
are numbered from bottom to top 15.
20, 30, 40, etc., feet. The average
normal eye should read the letters on
the 20-foot line at a distance of 20
feet. If this can be done correctly,
?or with mistake in only one or two >
letters, the vision may be noted
20-20, or normal. The numerator of
the fraction is the distance in feet at
which the letters are read (every
child being examined in the seat 20
feet away), and the denominator is
the number over the nmallet line of
letters read. If the smallest letters
that can be.rcaa are-on the 30-foot
line, the vision will be noted 20-30;
if the lotters on the 40-foot line are
the smallest that can be read, the rec
ord will be 2*5-4 0; if the letters 'on
the 50-foot line arc the smallest that
can be readTthe record will be 20-50,
