Text Appearing Before Image:
ten starting points of diphtheria and scarlet fever. In 1907, in New York city, of 7,608 pupils examined,2,159 suffered from enlarged tonsils and 1,248 with adenoid growths. A child with enlarged tonsils or adenoid growths speaks always as one does with a severe cold in the head. He says cobbod for common, and sig for sing. The photographs Nos. 23 and 24 show a child with the typical face of a mouth-breather from adenoids and the change in the entire facial appearance when the offend-ing growths have been removed. It would be valuable for every teacher to have a register kept containing data of each pupils eye and ear capacity. With this knowledge at hand, many who are considered stupid would be shown to be only unfortunate, inasmuch as the avenues to their brain are partly blockaded; they need additional aid instead of censure.Those whose hearing is defective should be given seats within easy range of the teachers voice, and should at all times be subjects for special consideration and regard.
