work is to develop these energies so as to obtain the best
development of the child's

his character. Cooperation of
the parents in many ways~is 80
necessary.

Most children have had only
three months~ rest from studies
alone, the summer has been
with vacations away - from
home, lots of going places and
little rest. A child that starts
to school tired and worn.out
from disturbed slumber cannot. profit from any point, his
resistance is low and he will
eventually have to be taken

subject to contract any disease
that is.about. It does more
danger to the child to have to
~| drop out part of a semester because of ill health than you
probably realize. See that
your child~s program. includes
proper food, rest and relation,
ready to stat a long period of
activity and studies.

The diseases that children
should be excluded from
school are:,sma'lpox, _ scarlet
fever. measles, German
measles, chickenpox, d i p htheria, _ tonsilitis, whooping
cough, roumphs, scabies, rngworm, venergal diseases, influenza, pnetmon~a, pu'monary
