THE HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN.
No nation can bo strong and stable unless its component units are individually strong and energetic. In so tar as a national educational system fosteis weakness it is the duty of the State to exert countervailing care and watchfulness • and even where physical weakness is due to influences lying outside the school life, it is to the public interest that the educational authorities should do all in their power to counterbalance them. For no school system can be regarded as intelligent which does not aim at the development of the,/ healthy mind in the healthy body, for the poorest as for the. richest, for the mostneglected as for the most-cared-ior child in the community.—Auckland “Herald.”
