COLONIAL PHYSIQUE.
We wish the Medical Association could be moved to' set up a con>mittee to make an examination <of all the children in the city schools, reporting »n cases of defective eyesight and hearing, neglected teetk, crooked spines, fiat or deformed chests, and the like. The report, we venture to prophesy, would be sensational. Practically every one of the defects discovered could be remedied by appropriate methods. There is an apology for phy&ical drill in the schools, but the work, wo are afraid, is almost everywhere badly done, mainly because the teachers themselves have bad no special training, and because the subject is -regarded without enthusiasm.—“Lyttelton Times.”
