  Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 2: An International Record of Educational Literature, Institutions and Progress
  The key-note of this issue of the Pedagogical Seminary is health.
  Nature inclines the normal child to free and almost incessant activity; the modern school requires him to sit still. No less than a sprouting plant his instinct seeks and needs sunlight; but the schoolroom is very often too dark, while the first steps in reading and writing require for the child nearly as abundant light as does microscopy for adults. (Read Ped. Sem., II, 33 et seq.) The eye needs great freedom of movement from left to right, and of accommodation for different distances, but school confines it to the zig-zag of the printed line and page, straining at best, but with added difficulties which could be easily removed, II, 49. The hand is a wonderful organ, and its brain-centers complex and extended; but instead of training all its mechanical powers its energies are focused on the wagging the pen which is too small, too light, and too exact and monotonous in its movements for the stage of development of these centers. His lungs for health and for growth, his blood for all its nutritive functions to the brain and other organs need an incessant supply of the freshest, purest air, but the schoolhouse limits the air space to a few cubic feet per child, economizes, if nowhere else, in either its ventilating system or its working, or both, and rarely exterminates the peculiar "school smell."
