This is also a contributing factor in develop. ing abnormalities of the spine by placing too much strain upon the unsupported back muscles and lig aments before they are sufficiently developed Directly associated with this practice is that of discouraging and preventing the child from climbing—‘for fear he will fall and hurt himself.” Here we take coun of our fears rather than our reason and do the child an irreparable injury. All children tend to climb before they attempt to walk and, if per- mitted and opportunity is furnish- ed, are able to climb freely and without fear by the end of the first year. Climbing up and down stairs is a source of joy by this time, a great pleasure denied to the child living in the modern tenement or apartment house.
