“POISONED” IN SCHOOLS.
■‘l would like to aek Dr. Colquhoun,” said the Hon. W. H. Triggs at the sitting of the Hospital Commission at Dunedin, “whether an active campaign of preventive medicines would not obviate the necessity of many people going into the hospitals for treatment?” In reply, Dr. Colquhoun said: “The conclusion I arrived at is that so long as we continue deliberately to poison children from six to sixteen years of age in our unhygienic schools, so long will we be bringing up an inferior population and helping to fill the hospitals and other institutions. Experience has shown that in fresh-air schools the children are healthier and develop a higher mentality than in the ordinary claesrooms, and further than that, the schools themselves can be conducted more economically.”
