Children Need fresh Air. i I I Children shonld have plenty !of fresh air, good food, exercise, I rest and sleep. They should ' sleep in bedrooms with the i windows open both summer and j winter 1 ", and no child under twelve j years of age should have less than nine hours of sound, re -1 freshing sleep. Children should Ibe taught to be regular in their •habits of eating, sleeping and | exercise. They should also be I taught habits of personal j I neatness and cleanliness. Unless ! carefully watched they will not wash their frees, comb their hair or brush their teeth. I As sunshine and air keep plants and flowers in good, vigorous condition, so do these same god given agencies keep human being strong and well.
