At each of these meetings some child will be a model to show what is meant by physical ideal of a well ;:hild. Pictures of well children will also be used to help the leaders rec ognize the standard to work towards. Such a standard challanges children mi parents to make the most of their opportunities to develop health. Such a stuy adds Interest in habits of right living. The observation made on the child ren is by no means a physical exam ination but it is a study which helps mothers to recognize manifestations of a well built body. Farmers know and recognize well built animals, likewise similar points indicate health for the human being. A demonstration will also be given on accurate weighing and measur ing. Weight tables will be studied for Big Boys and Small Men These coats are not new stylish ones, but they are all wool, ancr will keep you warm and surely the price is right.
