MADAME COW.

In the course of his report as a school medical officer, Dr. Clark says: “I attach much importance to the factor of personal touch and cooperation between teachers, committees, parents, and officials of the medical branch in promoting the efficiency of our work. The sympathy and ungrudging assistance of the teachers have been fjuit-e'invaluable, and lam aware of the fact that without it: my work would have borne much less fruit than I believe it. has done. In the few schools where the interest of the head teacher has been tepid this is reflected in the health and happiness of The children, in a carelessness as to personal cleanliness, manners and deportment which argues ill for them in their civic life. Such teachers seem to think that their duty ends when they have coached the children sufficiently to enable them to pass muster in the subjects of the syllabus, and feel no anxiety as to whether they grow up decent citizens, habitues of the pub., or worshippers of Her Serene Divinity Madame Cow, estimating the value of all tilings in heaven and earth in terms ef butterfat.”
