_The National Hospital Record_, the _Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette_,
the _Journal of Nursing_, are three other magazines primarily intended

devoted to health. We have not appreciated the educational
possibilities of these columns. In most large cities there are monthly
book reviews which may be profitably consulted in learning the new
thought in the health field. If teachers would either write their
experience or ask questions, if children knew that in a certain
magazine or newspaper questions as to ventilation, bathing, exercise,
