A teacher's firstwork shan:d be to put her schoolroom in as nearly perfect h gi enic condition as possible, and the temperature and purity of the air shonlYbe the best possihle onder existing conditions. The windows shonld be kept open all day. Lowered n little from the top and raised from the hottom, ever so little. insures good ventilation. In winter, while the fire is beingkindled. the air 8honld beohan ed. also at least once during the session doors and windows should be opened for ;ventilation. Marching or some other exercise may then be engaged in. A child eats more and breathes more in proportion to bulk than an adult, and for this he mnst have fresh air in abundance. Fresh air is the great natural disin- . fectant, antseptic, and pnriEer. Hare l~reathinge xercises deep and fnll, with the month clwed. Another dnt of theteacher is to see if the children have come to school with clean persons andJclothing. Teach that it is best to eat with clean hands and an a clean table. Teach the great need of pure water. When heated, do not sit in a cool breeze; never sit on damp ground. The weekly hath is a neressity. Remember that the formation of correct habits is of more importance than information about the bo:ly. The use of tobacco leads to dis-eases of the throat. The use of cigarettes dwarfs the body. The excessive use of alcohol cripples the brain, ntomach. rnuacles, and other paxts of the hody. Teach that tubercnlosis is not necessarily hereditary, and that the ohild whose parents have had consumption mnst not feel that he will have jt. Too mnoh attention can not be given to personal hygiene, comfortable clothing. ventilation, and to emergency cases, smce a slight aocident, neglected, sometimes developsinto a seriousmatter, and handicaps one through life. It is very important to show chi:dreu how spini~l curvature may resnlt from sitting in a curved position. Show why the healthfnlness and vigor of the body depends much upon the amount of exercise we take. liming.-The children should be taught a few general rules for the treatment of sore eyes, fever, and emergency cases. The older girls shouldherilled upon for assistance in treating all cases, e~plain-ing to them the drugs, their respective healing properties. and the doses, to the end that they learn how to handle the same; hut undernocircumstanceF should a pupil administer a dose of medicine to a pupil. This is the duty of the emp:oyees in charge of the patient. Too great caution can not be used in admiaistering medicines. Neverpermit food to be kept in a sick room. Milkabsorbs odors very quiclrly. Teach that hot water is an excellent remedy for nausea; that sulpho-naphthol is an inespensive and excellent disinfectant and deodorizer: that ordinary wood ashes placed in buckets used in dormitories will disinfect: that there is great dan-ger of contagion in diseases of the skin and eyes. Teach that it is necessary to ventilate every room in the house: that in sicknese or health there is nothing mare necessary for the physical and mental condition than good slumber: that it is better to s!eep without a pillow, and never with the head covered. Well-aired rooms, freqnent bathina, clean clothing. pure water, and hygienic surroundings are the conditions that make fou health.

In sick rooms or where very delicate children sleep, a good mrwn which keeps out dampness, admitting fresh &,may be made by usin a mosquito net or screen frame covered with imbleached factory cloth.
