P**A PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN I Dr. Alexander "Marey. of River tor I introduced » topi: into the deliberation of tho Medical Society of New Jerae in session at tfae Hotel Cape Ma ■ ■ aeaakm which attracted more attentio than any subject discuaoed during - th annual meeting. It was entitled "i Plea for the Children." and the papc be read was aa follows: ^ "The school evatMM of the countr y have been developing for a number c K years, unobstruaively until reeentl) and we can now boast of public school , in which the curriculum is loaded dow to the water! ine with subjects for th ' children to study and presumably t ■ learn. Every new eo-ealled 'advenes r* is in the direction of adding new sub | jects and inweaving the burden of th childreu, in the effort to load into th L school system every new fed which an; mn or women eminent enough (mon k teachers to secure a bearing, ma bring forth. If it were not for th fact that the youth of the land poaaes a saving elasticity |of temperament, K. they would all be (mellyeoddlee or neb: I voos wrecks. Has anyone noticed any effort being made to relieve the children? Has anyone been conspicuous in \ boldy announcing, that, valuable as the y.' numerous studies may be. the health ' and vigor of the children are still more k Valuable to the children themselves ' end to the nation? Unless it be the members of occasional medical societies I think not The effort is all in the [ 'direction of increasing .the child's bur den, never to relieve him of any of it. 1 It is my opinion that medical men can do nothing better for the interests of the people then to insist upon more care for the health and strength of- the children. We have obtained one good thing at the "bands of the recent legislature, medical inspection for the schools. We need now to secure a better change for health and strength to the children by reducing the length of the school year. At present our children are kept in school from the flist Monday in September to the first of July or there- - abouts. In Juna and September they Buffer in close school rooms some of the hottest and mast enervating weather of- the .entire year. These months should be cut out of the school year and children be given the opportunity to enjoy them in rational outdoor life either at'the seashore or elsewhere, in the open. There is ample time from the first of October to the first of June for children to acquire all of the elementary branches which should be required. The gain in health and vigor which would be made by the children of the land in having this additional time for outdoor life would be • Invaluable. The curriculum should be revised Morning sessions should be given over entirely to teaching and re citations, the afternoon hours to develop the physical aide of the pupils. The children need to be developed into well rounded men and women fit for j the duties tbey will be called upon to Intake up ss adults, well-rounded physically, Wrong morally end intellectually, aa well fitted for the duties aa is in keeping with the walk of Hfe in which they are placed.". The following resolution was passed : i Whereas, There baa be»n no subject of greater importance presented at this meeting of the Medical Society of New Jersey than the paper just read, therefore, be it i. Resolved, That a committee of three members of this society be appointed at this meeting to further investigate this "most important matter," and to » report their findings to the next meeting of tbe Society, and also to report monthly to tbe Journal." >t 9
