Sleep for Children.

I® Sweden a committee was recently appointed by the government for the purpose of ascertaining how many hours children of various ages ought to sleep in order that they may be able to study properly. According to the report forwarded to the minister of education, children ■who are 4 years old should sleep twelve hours; children who are 7 years old, eleven hours; children who are 9 years old, ten hours; children who are from 12 to 14 years old, from nine to ten hours, and those who are from 14 to 21 years old, from nine to ten hours. It further points out that anaemia and ■weakness in children are frequently due to lack of sleep.—New York Times.
