Too- Much Ignorance Concerning
the Care of the health.
Dr. Wiley is right in his conten
tion that people die too young.
Human 'life should be prolonged,
and it can be by higher education'
on matters of, hygiene. The aver-
age expectation • of : lite in the
United States' is only about forty
four years, -'gays the Boston Globe.
It should be much higher, and prob-
ably will be hereafter., for people
are learning more and xraora oon-
earniug.the prevention of disease.
As a matter of faet the mostvalu-
able study in our schools is h cite.
ling
-kite.
the young folks are taught the
value of food and moderate exer-
cise they will grow up: strong and
possess a: knowledge of how • to take
care of their 'Oodles. There is too
rnuch ignorance amon g young and.
olid, concerning the proper care of.
the health. How few there are who
know even how to eats ---that is, to
consume only those things which
will agree with and upbuild the syr-`
tem and -create a. sufficient supply
ofvitality with which to ward off
disease.
A child with a large head and an
emaciated body- should be kept from
difficult mental; -tasks and be put
through a °nurse of hygiexiie in-
struction and training that would
conserve his energies.
