At present, tho Education Goinmiltuo pay ren t for a field a t GoosebuUs and tho children spend tlio best p a r t of an mturnoon going to and coming from th a t field, a point to which tho inspector has called attention. The Castlo meadow, in nd- a'itioii to tho virtue of being easy of access from all tlio scliools, is well adapted for tho purpose and tlie suggestion of tiio adtuso^' (ommillco lias not been unkindly received. A decision on tho matter lias been dcfeired. Some would like to sco the field used ciitiroly as a playground, arguing th a t tlio field is worth more used in t l ia t way.

individual h u t there are matters illuminated by the doctor which merit tlio cloBo attention of every ratepayer. A study of soiiio of tlio tables ho presents gives a pretty fair idea of tlio physical quality of the next generation, for iastanco, and i t is satisfactory to n o te , th a t tho percentage of serious defects is low. Tlio advantage of the inspection is that the defects are, discovered and if only people will take steps to remedy tliom, much good will be done. In tho matter or eyesight a good deal is being accomplished—despite the obstinacy of a fow parents—hut in other matters Uie position is not so satisfactory. Pgronts Bomotimes refuse to Wievo tho doctor’s report. That is foolish. Other parents seem to he too indifferent to trouble. Tliat is criminal. Both sections will have to bo educated to a realisation of their rospon- sibilitics and tlio only way is rclentji^ly to pursue tho Acts governing the inspections. If children aro excluded from school as unfit


and then, because no effort is made to rojnedy the dofocts, proceedings arc taltcn for non- attcndanco a t school, parents will be ag­ grieved b ut in time they will recognise tha t all was done in tho interest of tbc children. Tliero aro many minor nilmonts, often requir­ ing prolongctl treatment before tliey arc re­ moved, which could witli advantage ho dealt with by the school nurse, who would relievo parents of tasks they* arc not always qualific<l to perform and which frequently remain un- nttempted. At present, a number of chil­ dren nro often, absent from school for lengthy I'leriod.s and i t is wisely felt th a t the ailments rofeiTcnl to should he treated a t a clinic cstahlshod for ftho purpose. This would shorten if not alwlish the absences from school and there would Iw ^ a greater cer­ tainty of tho children receiving proper atten­ tion. A clinic would cost a certain amount hnt it is estimated th a t the money would easily b« save<l by tho increased grants receivc<l from tho Board of Education in oonscquimcc of a higher percentage of attendance. The Board would abso contrihuto substantially to tlio cost of tlio clinic and the probability is tlia t the tomi would not merely benefit from tho improvod health of tlio children but in a monetary way as well. Happily i t has been dc<n(1od to establish a clinic and rooms at the Castle have l>cen scloctcd. Tlic scheme, however, seems to ho “ hung up ” along with


the rest of tJio Castlo plans. I t is

A table is given of tiie average weights of boys and girls of various agofi. lu Btandard ibreo tho bovs easily out­ weigh the girls b u t three years later the girls weigli more than Ibo boys.

"NVe in this ofiice had made arrangements for ilio receipt of the news as quicklv ns possible and the very celerity wiih wliich tho information was re­ ceived caused not a few to doubt its nutlieii- ticilv.

Child’s P o c k e t Moneu.


VALUABLE LESSONS WHICH MIGHT BE TAUGHT.


As soon as tho child arrives, lot us say, at


tho ago ot rix or seven, tho pockol-money should bo considered aa covering certain mcidoiital ex­ penses, such as pencils, children’s papers, niid so on. A mtlo Inter, i t is a good plan to cause the gradually increasing allowance to meet each needs as those of Ucs in tho ^ o ot ^ y s , of hnir-ribbons in tho case of girls. Such an arrangement may bo infinitely usclul in teaching tho young to differentiate between that yimch is low-priced and shoddy, and that which :s reasonably priced and of good quality, to culti vale a taste in regard to colour and design, ana Konorally to prepare for judicious sclccUon lu later life. Each mother will decide, according to tho dharaclcr and temperament of her offspring on what to concentrate in this direotionj this is merely an indication of tho possibilities that


lio open to her in this connooUon. Nor, for his ultimate woU-boing, should tiho


diild be .illowedto look upon Ids pockcUmoncy ns BOinothing that has dropped straight fr.jn Heaven into his open purse. He must fmlv realise from tho outset that Uiosc who work not, dhall not spend, and some smdl service


must bo devised as the basis on which hjs wiigo is paid. I t may bo tho caro of a small ^te*’ of ground: or (for tho girls) tho temhng of Oie


•cut Uowers in tlio drawing room, it may bo l ie making of his own bed or the dusting of the schoolroom—any Utllo task of the kind will do duty ill making tho recipient feel Uial the al- lownaco has been earned well and duly, a vital principle that cannot too soon bo insb led, il the child is to develop later into a useful mem­


ber of society. Then, too, the lesson of refraimng from small . . . , n


present pleasures in order that greater ones may accrue in the future, is readily to ho iiiculraled by encouraging tho moneyed one to deny him­ self tlio penny plaything in order that a low weeks hence the shilling may ho earned and secured. The thrift ol a week r r two, followed, maybe; by a small bonus from a sympathetic parent will inevitably bring with it such satis­ faction that the tendency te spend for spend­ ing’s sake, ol which so mucli has bocii scon during tho last fow ye.ra, will have been grwit- ly discouraged. Later on, tho habit of saving (as distinguished from tiiat^of hoarding)^wiU^he

date, will Uicn take its place. The child mind docs not deal m abstractions,


bat depends by nature upon concrete instances. To explain to a small person tho principle ol interest upon capital is likely to bo no e-asy bisk, but to display to him at llie end of a year, a neat little entry in h's s.-iviags Ixuik book, brings instant conviction. Kothing is so provoc-itive 6f thrift as a rewaril m kind, ,-uid il tho accrued interest ho in the early slfigcs given to Uio child “and no questions askq.1, more will have been done I0 encourage savings than could havo been accomplished by mere


precept, however eloquent. ^
