THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN.
No nation can be strone and stable unless its component units are individually strong and energetic. In so far as a national educational system fosters weakness it is the duty of the State to exert countervailing care and watchfulness, says the "Auckland Herald," 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 counter-balance 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 most-neglected as for the most-cared-for child in the community.
