2 Enumerate some of the physical and mental handicaps of the child who is not well born.

3 What powerful appeal for clean living may be made to the adolescent youth?

4 As a concrete example of children being punished for the sins of their fathers even unto the third and fourth generation, read the history of the Juke family.

5 To what extent does the school share the responsibility for the improvement of the physical and moral quality of the children of the future?

6 What kind of teaching is needed to meet this responsibility?

7 Reliable authorities have estimated that 60 per cent or 12,000,000 of the school children of America are suffering from removable physical defects; that 93 per cent of the school children of the country have defective teeth; and that on the average the health of children who are not in attendance at school is better than that of those who are in school. In the light of these facts discuss the failure or success of our schools in providing fit material for efficient citizenship.
