Where a looking-glass is placed over the wash-hand basin the children are smarter than when the mirror is absent. Tills is the opinion of Hr Allen Daley, .Medical Officer ol the Blackburn Education Committee in England. who lias made a study of Lancashire child life, paying particular attention to children at school. The medical ofiiier says that if the schemes for educating the public to can 1 for their own health are to be successful they musi begin in the schools, and lot the scholars see by example how a healthy liome or place of employment ought to be kept. In some schools sanitary monitors are appointed irom among the children, and they see that the schools are kept tidy. The report says: We found that .‘h per cent of the children are not physically tit at five years of age. Children are usually at their best on entrance to school and at their worst at eight years of age. The hoys improve considerably bet ore they leave school and the girls a little. Tin' common defects of school life, such as defertive teeth, enlarged tonsils, or enlarged gland-, are commonest ahollt eight vears of age. The statistics show how serious is the dental condition of the rising generation. Duly 2 p,-r rem of the boys aged nine years had all their teeth sound. Of the ft,<l(l7 children seen by the assistant -eliod medical officers only twelve were wearing dirtv clothing. Sixty-live per cent of the children wore clogs.

Experienced teachers. h,v the way. will see much force in a recent criticism by Dr Ballard of the essay as a school test whilst il i- peerless as an exorcise, it* complexity i- an obstacle to its use in examinations. Ot seven essays passed on. by Dr. Ballard to thirteen examiners to arrange in order of merit, each was placed in every possible position, ltis plea ol substituting a large number of small questions for a small number of large questions lias the advantage ol taking complexity to pieces and testing its elements. Sometimes. as all teachers know, the essay lends itself to the tV.rvolopinient ol undesirable traits in the pupils. At a recent junior scholarship examination some of the candidates, writing on “A Country Walk.” did not bear the birds singing, but they beard “the little feathery tribe ringing their morning hymn of praise." They saw no green fields, hut “daisied greens.” They wrote “inhabitants ot the deep when they meant lishe* in a siieain: the sun was the “red bail in the western sky", they did not go for an early morning walk, but “walked mu :, t tlie first blush ot dawn.”
