* The Want of Physical Training.
There can bo no queation that iu thia day the value of education la fully understood, aud the advantages it furuiahua its pOHseaHor right- Ijoppreoiuted; tbo qubn iou i.n rulher jittasiug itaelf, whether, iu our auliety to make our children precocioutily learned, we aro not do¬ ing injuBtico lo their future prospects in life by unduly cultivating the nieuta! fnoulties ut the expeuae of tbe development of thi- physical organizaiiou. Vhysiologistri, pbyaiciauB, and eren commou observers, are cousiauilyitlling U3 of the deteriomtioii uf the people of this conntry in physical status, and in proof of what they allege, point to Ibe weak, fragile forms ol ouryouili, which in too many iiititaiioes Beem to be already the abode of diiieaao at an age when buoyant spirits and robust health should be the kindly gift of nature. It would be a foo sweeping couclusion to ascribe to any One practice, huwuver deleterious, ibia evil which proceeds from u general neglect of hygi- enic law, but we are convinced that tbe forced system of education now in vogue, with its prolonged hours of study, its multiplicity of branches, and over stimulating iufiucnce upon the brain, has to answer for a very serious amount of the producing causes that are rais¬ ing in all our large cities a pnny, nervous race of boys, unfitted to grapple with the tasks of later life, and of girls, who as mothers wiU perpetuate their own inadeqaate physical or¬ ganization.
When an evil grows so seriouB as to present Stfltif prominently to public attention, there is hope of correction, and wo aze glad to see that the invoBtigation directed towards our system of education is no longer casual or cursory, bat la asanming a definite pnrpose, and ex¬ posing clearly the dangers toward which we are tending. The voice of warniDg is issuing from influenti ^. quaners, and the pennlty of cramming oui youth with knowledge, and of orerworkingand overtasking their mental pow- era^'rhilst tbo body is neglected; or refused the exercise and fresh air necessary to its de¬ velopment, pointed, out with a cleurneds that should awaken alarm and call imperatively for reform. The American Medical Monthly has spoken pertinently and well upon this subject, and its remarks shouM bring reflection to the minds of parents, leading ^bem to examine whether the child in whose profloiency they take BO much pride is not somewhat like those attractive flowers with which our gardeners tempt purchasers, Iu the early spring, forced iuto premature brilliancy by hot house cul¬ ture, but quickly perishing ;when removed from the atmosphero in which it has nt once grown into early life and found the way to early de¬ cay. ; ¦
'We have often queried (says the American Monthly) whether Ihere was not sumethicg decidedly wrong in the amount of time that th^ Common School demands of our children for study, and the still greater amount that it spoils for recreation.
'Our city schools require'—and it amounts to about the same thing throughout the State —tbat the scholar shall be on hand from 9 o'clock till 12, and from 12j to 8. Now 6J hours would not; be too much for any health¬ ful child, if with, the ringing of the dismissal bell there came a season of relaxation until 9 of the next day.' Cut when we meet our boy of ten years old returning from school, we find him always loaded down with books—geogra¬ phy, astronomy, physiology, aud half a score of tho sort beside—in several of -ffhich ho as¬ sures UB that he must get a lesson before mom-^ ing. And upon farther inquiry, we find that, except exercises in arithmetic,; reading, spel¬ ling, and writing, all his.stndying is to be done out of school hours 1 Of course, if he is bright, he soon learns how to moke short work of his lessons, and by hurried or stolen reviews In school, to 'Btufi"' for recitation. But if he ia dull, he has a harderlot. Goming:from. school, he 17 jaded and vreary. He loathes the sight of a book. Ho' lon^a to put his old ' trowsers* on, and kneel in the gutter <-.r on the crossing to have one good game of marbles, or ho ag¬ onizes for a game at ball, or'tag.' Ho wants' to expand hi^ lungs and stretchy hiis legs, and shake biiqself unhampered by a nice coat, and Out of the sight of grumbling teachers and gnardians..
' The prudent parent' may consent to this in the summer time, but in winter there is. no larger margin for play between the last-hour of school and the first of night thaii a supper of proper length should entirely occinpy, and none like to bave their children out after darlc; Then, vith the coming darkness, the ladmnst sit down to hia books. Under the most favor-r 'able circumstances, he shares a light with the members of the family, and vrhile they talk of new dresses and gossip of the day's sflTairs, he must keep his attenttonoa problems that he &boiQiiuLtes,'or sUive pBrpetually to commit to memory dates, namesifigarea, in which bo Can have no mortal interest. He is three times as long abont it as'if he had learn'ed the same

That the'prospects of'the obilifren are still darker would appear by simi¬ lar investigations. .As a specimen, two facta are mentlorietJ:,
* Va a p6rtibti,of our counti^, as healthy as any lither, two female institutions—one in a oi^ ind the other in tlie country-^were exami¬ ned. 'In thecity Bchool one hundred and oigbt were >iiimined. Of these thr'eefourths had more or less bad headaches and bUjer ailments, wbil < thirty-five bad' curvature- of the spine (latc-iil) in ditferent stages. In tlie country school of one hundred and nine .examined nut less than fifty (near one half) had more or.lces curvatore of the sphie—thia being one of the surest indications of a feeble constltotion.— Besidts this evil, projecting necks', round shoulders and fiat cheats were altogether in tbe majority in both Institutions.*
Mt parents, teachers, and school committees will but prosecute auch inquiries they will fin4 similar results in all directions, especially in those schools where the children have been m05t| atimubited to study without caring for theit^ bodies
' In such schools besides curved spiues, .projecliug necks, round shoulders, aud flat ohest's, will be seen a ainrkcd change in the complexion of childhood compared with that of former generations. Fifty years ago in our school- houses,especialIy in ihe Northern States, the ]^uddy hne of the English sktn and th* rosy cheek were the most common features of childhood ;. while now a thick bloodless white or the sallow skin are altogether in the ma¬ jority.'
The 'Boston Friends of Education* having the epme evils in view, discourage the practice of giving to the public school children tasks to leari] out of school, as a measure necessary to .save'the next generation from its threatened impotence. The necessity of physical train¬ ing ip onr schools, to be made' an imperative part|of the practice of the scholar and the daty;cf the teacher, is the desideratum that is now more greatly wanted than any advance in onr systems of mental education. To learn the young to love vigorous physical exercise and to enjoy it. not only for its preeent pleas- urei but for itQ absolute necessity as a health- giving medium, is the work that requires im¬ mediate and energetic effort. Tbe taste thus implanted will last through life, giving vigor to body, energy to the mind, and afi'ording in itself, at all times, a ready and innocent meand of enjoyment. We should then no longer find our women limiting their onl-door eierci^ to a sailntor along a fashionable street, and return¬ ing fatigued but not benefited, nor our men re¬ jecting a ecamper.over the country or a walk of five-or ten miles aa on onerous task only to be tindertakeu upon compulsion; Mnscular vigor, powers of endurance, independence, de¬ cision and generosity of; character, courage, and presence of mind.cheerfulness and strength of the intellectual faealties are products of proper physical training, and they are to be'se-' enre^ only by proper atteption to thacqnalde- vel6]^ment of tbe'body and mind. Lot-'every parent remember these facts, - now that the season for out-door exercise is approaching, aind Encourage and direct their children in de¬ veloping their physical powers by spending the laf^eat portion of their time in the open air employed in exercises that may amiise the mind and strengthen the body. The more fragile tfaey;are, the greater tbe development of their nervous spstem, the more imperative the need of exercise and fresh air, for as Lord Bacon has 'pell said, ' there, is no disease whose furth¬ er development could not be prevented, or which, at its commencement, could not have been cnred by bodily exercise.*

Spirit of the School Journals.
* Ma,nncrs' is the subject of a passage in the American Journal of Education, in which Dr. Hnn^ington, the author of the same, says some admirable thicgs, Mark them, parents and teachers: "
A;noble and attractive every-day bearing com^ of goodness, of sincerity, of refinement And' these are' ibred in years, hot moments. The frincif^ that rules your life is the sure pos- ture-ynakerJ. Sir Philip Sydney was the pat- ternlto all England of a perfect gentleman; but jheri he i?as the hero that on the field of Zuijihen.poshed away the cup of cold-water from his owa fevered and parching lips, and heldj it out to the dying soldier at his side! If lofty sentiments habitually make their home in t^e heart, they will beget, not perhaps a ^ factitious and finical drawing-room etiquette, but the breeding of a genuine and more royal genblity, to which no simple, no^ young heart will Irefuae its homage. ChUdren are not edu¬ cated iUl they catch the eJiarm that makes a gen- tU^i^n or lady I A coarse and slovenly teach¬ er,;^ vulgar and boorish presence, munching apples or chestnuts at recitations like a squir¬ rel, jHicketing bis hands like a mummy, pro- jeotpg his'heels nearer the firmament than bis skull, like a cirons clown, and dispensing American saliva like a .member of Congress, inflicts a wrong on the school-room for which no ftoientific attainments are an offset. An educator tbat despises the resources bid in his p^r^nal carriage deserves, on the principle of Sw^enborg's retribntioDS, similia similibtts, or Mikfi deserves like,'to bo passed through a 'ponacmonium of Congressional bullying.

'Nor ,' was the ready suggestion. . '
'North of Asia,' said Amandsi, with confi¬ dence
'Why, you are. reciting about Europe,' said the man with vexation,
* North of Europe,* said the giri, correcting herself.
This was once round the class with a ques- ¦tion>piece, and was an exact specimen of the maimer in which the poor scholars were taught The; teacher asked the questions, having first designated who should answer, and then when tbere was the least hesitation he prompted them, giving them the half or tho whole of the first^ word, and allowing them to commence exactly where he left off and finish the word or sentpnce, as the case might be. And the result wasj us might have been expected, tbe scholars could no more go on with a reoitation without thisj constant prompting i\itkn a cripple can Wali; without his accustomed orutchcs.
Tc this wretched habit of prompting there is a moral objeotiozr of the most- aerioua nature. Every recitation ought to bo, as we have ffe- queutly said in these columns,' a leisaon in hones' ty. [ It is no slight evidence of a moral feeling ^n a' pupil when he will disdain to pretend to know what he does not But on the prompting system, children gradually lose the power of knowing whether they know their lesson or not.. The object of pursuit in schools of alt grades should be TauxB, and this ol^ect is ut¬ terly lost sight of in a school conducted on the plaij so will shown up in the Rhode Island Schoolmaster. Avoid it, teachers.
Wo regret to see. in the OHo Journal of Education, a long article by Mr. J. W. An¬ drews, President of Marietta College, strongly recommending the Introduction of Latin and Gre^ into the public schools, as ' an integral part of the system. We object most decidedly. Thtffle languages cau only be pursued With success in sohools where every pupil is.a classi¬ cal student, and every thing is subordinated to the one purpose of attaining classical knowl¬ edge. Classical Bchoola there ahonld be.— Thej-e are a/ew minds in every country that- can jbe nourished best with the knowledge con¬ tained in the ancient langaagest But there are lonly a few.' In a classical school of-one hundred boys, there are'uattaljy about five who pursue their studies with an iiitelllgent entbur siasm, who read Virgil and Cicero with a feel¬ ing for the meaning of- the text, as well as an understanding of Its grammatical consb-nction. To the rest the lesson is mere mechanical, drudgery. We maintain tbat olassloal studies are a spetialty that should not be provided for frota the people's purse. Their introdutition into: the public schools would have many bad effects, adding greatly/to the «ost of mstruo- tton^ and diminishing the getieral efiScienoy of the schools.

Tbreatbiogs^pcourr'ed to establish, this stu¬ pid tyranny.,'upon the horBe, in England wo. speak of. 'But one thmgwasueosasary to esr tablish the custom in the United States—that it, was-practiced by the English. NotwUh'- .standing our Fourth of July, wc are yet ini^a •tat4=:ofiprt)vlaoia1 servility to the fashions andtfae'cpinionabf Britain, and we'inevitably take the check rein from them, as the' "sliam Democracy takes freo-trado from thoir trans- atlahtio inasters.'
' To hold lip the horse's head, and make bim loolq grand, among the grand institutions of England, waa undoubtedly the puho to the use of the check-rein It was'fuuud that it was usefpl in evenly matching the'gait and Carriage of iho- nobleman's pair, gomlo timid fellow bethought him, on an ancient occaeibn, of .ask¬ ing it as a sort_of tie to a."post—holding thiis a spirited ordangeroQs horse, and qult^'^oono- micilly too, for he made. him holdhimself.' ¦ Itj time, too grew up iu stables and halls a venerable and.obstinate belief, that the check, reinjprcvented thchorsefromfaliing. Itobotly ¦with the fox-hotirids at the same'' time propos¬ ed tb take off the;Squire's suiapenders to brace his jaws back with them, by^ attaching them to bis crupper. He was left to nature in his pursait of .the fox. Why was not the noble animal he bestrode left to its instinct and the laws of'ita.'mepbauical action ?
^Ye have frequently thought that the field of poiitics ba,d'displayod more of human stupid! ty:thau.any other department of man*s action.. Biitlwe guess-that a greater and. a more con¬ sistent display of that attribute has been made in the management of tbe^horae -than inany other business man has undertaken in this world. How few gentiemen—how few snr -ge'ons, even---knbw that a horse should. be treated precisely as we treat man. His' mua*' bles are like ours, and the laws that.govern muscular^and nervous action in his system are theaame that we are subject to. Thelawsof health are the same in horse and inman-^ttud the; most intelligent veterinary surgeon in France, Germany, and England treats the In¬ terruptions of normal action m the two ani¬ mal economies in precisely the same wa3% and with precisely the same remedies.
Now, regard a Qerman carrying bags of oats upon the back from a vessel to a. warehouse. Bee nature's provisions for easily getting along with that job. Tho man stoops forward. Ho streches out his neck. The weight of his body ts thrown in advance of his center, so as to give him a falling tendonoy, and in that way aid bis motion. How Stewpyd does over¬ look this teaching when he harnesses Godol- phin for dragging briok up a grade. The horse's head is pulled backward towards his tail', and anchored there, by tbo senseless and merciless check-rain.' . The arrangement ia nn- nntjiral—the animal is constrained by it. He iiinst inevitably lose strength by it—for it dis¬ turbs the vital force, and induces au unnatural action inthemuBcles.of theneck, head, should¬ ers^ uud mouth. "There is actually less eijergy and vigor left for the limbs and chest than there would be if the stupid contrivance were jerked off and thrown over the nearest fence. If reason can,not teach this promptly to any man, just let htm try the experiment by put¬ ting a martingale upon himself and go to vreestling, or putting a cheek in the jaws of a boxer that shall extend down his back to bis belt.
Who besides the British use the check-rein —saving their free-trade slaves and general imitators, the Americans ? The French do not nse' it—tbe Germans do not—the Indians and Spaniards of South American, who literally live on horseback, and are perfect, horsemen, do not—the Spaniards of Europe do not—nor do the Turks. . The most observant ond most natural people in the world axs frea from this mjflchievous error. It is strange to us thi^t the English and ourselves did not, years and years agoi, reason upon the constantly witnessed fecti that when a check-reiu was loosed at a tavern- stopp or in a stable, the poor horse alway* stretched out his neck and hung down hia heetd. That was his language for saying that the|strap hurt him.and wearied him, and that .he .was heartily glad to be relieved from it,:
The genius thatfirst proposed themechoni- caljfeat of Uftiug himaelf up by the seat of his br^ches, must have been the author of the theory that the; chcok<rein held the horse up, ana kept bim from falling. The mechanical faction in the two cases must be precisely the saifie. If the reader.will reflect for a moment, be,will see that no suspending power can be derived, except from without the animal. A post, tree, or beam is just,as indispensable to thd support of a horse as to the support of a man intent on suicide. .A horse can not bang himself up in the air by the terrets on his ba^k,. any more than a man can by pulling up¬ ward at his neck-handkerchief.
The check-rein should be abolished. It Wastes motive power. Its use is anhealthy—^ fori it disturbs, the otherwise naturally and: equally. diatribnted vital; foroest It shortens the life of the horse. It diminisheshis speed, imd lessens the free.and quick action sb.essen- Kaj to the animal's safety andthat of hisdrlTer..

.__ Brethren of the press, let us emancipate the horse from the British check-rein.

'"Dedxlj beloved brethren:' when belovedH placed before the noun, as in this instance, pronounce it in three-syllables; when placed after, in two syllables, as, ' She was much 6c- loved by US all.' When used as a noun by itself, it is pronounced iu three syllables; as, * Be-loy-ed, let us love ono another.*

The speaker msbns that he himself is going to lie down.

" Mr. Frederick Dyster, a person: with'a pair' of good strong eyes of alight'hazeVcolor, -but somewhat short sighted,' gives the following amuaing account, which Isjiow first published in the North British Review, of his inability to distinguish colors:—
* My betes n,otres in the. way of colors, green and red. Thoy are..absolutely indlstinguisb- abla. Red sealing-wox add bright spring grass have absolutely tbo same color. Tbe red pe¬ tals of the fuchsia exactly .match the leaves.— whether all greens are red, or aU reds green, I know 'not, but I suspect tbdlatter, as a, regi¬ ment of soldiers look as coolaiid refreshing tb my eyes as an acre'of .vines.. il am:at^fauU also with brbxpns, especially the lighter tints and! the darker ones. Itbint Irecognise more, by shade than color. Between purple, violet and blue I aeo no difference, unless in shade.-^ Pink is dirty slate-color. A lady dressed in light-blue appeara extremely gay; habited in pink, she might p'asa as a Quakeress. I am not aware of.'any confusibn.-about'y^^/ot:', but I think I detect'its slighter shades by artificial liglit better than normal eyes. I cannot trace any. iUlprbvement or alteration in my powers of appreciating color; and, from my own ob- seryetipn, I should have much more hope of ednbating a dull ear to sounds, than a doll eye to colors. - I have at times taken great pains to impress color on my optic nerves,, for the want .of it often sadly bothers me, in my little natoral history pursuits, but quite in vain.-^' .The case which offers most identity 'with my 'owu lis- Lord-—'s. Oii comparing notes, I think we might have'ohanged eyes without any daedal^ to either contracting party. ,1 think he told'me he bad sent a i-eport of his case to Dr. Qeo^TTilBoh. - - ^'' ' As a sblrt 'bf counterbalance to .my color- bliddjiess/'X-have a veiy acute perception of sbede;, uid liiy'wife tellsme that if she wanted .a-irbipn ribbon and a red ribbon, of equal shades, I should select them better than she xonld, provided I was guided, as to color. I enjoy engravings more than colored pictares; but. you most not suppose that in regard to color I am in the same position as a person without ear is in regard to noise. I have tbe most' intense pleasure from the colors of na¬ ture, and from the gorgeous display, or polari¬ zation.*

When a man writes iaa;hijgbTflown'Btyle, it is a sign either, that he is unequal to the task he has undertakeo, or thbt he wishes to^iallnoi- nate. hts readers. Generally, -it proves. mere incapacity^ Sometimes, htnrever^ false able men employ inflated words tb excite a tempo* rary eotbuaiasm. : Napoleon did so very often. AU but the- very greatest writers are, more; or less, gnilty of'/aifitn^ tbeir sentenoes witH snperfinons Words.' Some men open their com¬ positions in a high-flown mainuer, and when they begin to exeonte the real pnrpose qf "their eflflky,! write simply, sensibly,, and strongly- Some'l'imters can not jQ&d it in their hearts to stop when theybaxe done, and-spoira good pVe^B by addisg to it a oloady tail of words, l^aliy sermo.ns, otherwise tolerable, become in?; tolerable, in this way.. Spmewriten, w.^ i^eed scarcely. say, are high-flown throughout An4 'always. - ¦ ' . . ' ¦¦¦
"^High-flown writing is the worst kind of wHtiDg.' If a man attire a^iitinot \\^,\i eao be I distinctly denied, perhaps' diii{ffoted.' A^ Iraet, we^ know what to do with it H vay be^ t'oempared to a solid mass of poJsonoaiB mattex;.' ] hMle3_'it on adTjitgair;
'I have been much amused,' he says, *in reading many of the. cases described in I>r. WiliBon.a book, they are so very like my uwn, and the artifices nsed by persons afflicted with color-bliiidnera to conceal their defect put me in mind of myself when I was a cadet at .Wool¬ wich. I was several years a cadet at Wool¬ wich, and had to. dra'w fortifications in which carmine is used to represent maaonary. I have often pat a bltJte line where lake should have been used, and when spoke to about it was obliged to get out of the scrape as well as I could ; but ho one ever discovered my defect. My case corresponds with many giveti' in Br. Wilflon's book. . R^,.green and brown are de¬ cidedly mystombUng block. 2 cannot see a poppy in a -potatoe field.'''' I could not see a huntsman with a red coat riding alongside of a green hedge if it were not for his white breech- es. My wife had once a brilliant green dress on. I asked her why she wore a snt^-colored dress! Blue and ydiow I never miseake, un¬ less sometimes when I znistake a very light red for yellow. Slug is the color I like best. I, Eee colors best by candle light, bttt not perfect: ly. ¦- 1 Can distinguish shades with the minutest accuracy. A great; jiomber of colors in .a car¬ pet oonfuso me so much that; I lose all, cqnfi- derice in my judgment ,of them.. X have, in every other* respect'sC'peoiiliarty "good sight.— I had three brothers; two of them were affected by colors exactly in the same way aeimyself, but my eldest brother distingnuh^d colors cor¬ rectly. My brother's sisters were affected with color-blindness.'and their father.'had'the same defect, so that it appeared-in the males in one generatioOi in the females the next, and again ia the males.'.
' The different classes and degree^ of color¬ blindness are carefully distinguished by -Br. Wilson. Of the theories invented, to account for'this defect, we find nothing very satisfactO' ry in the Review. They are, it seems, of two kinds ; those which refer the infirmity to tbe pecnliar xoloring matter with which certain ,portions of the eye are tinged, and those which reftr it to the peculiar'organization of the nervous apparatus of the eye. The cure of that color bllndaoss which dates from the birth of the individual Dr. Wilson pronounces to be impossible, and decides that the defeet is not to be remedied by any use of colored glasses- There is one important practical application which Br. Wilson makes of the facts collected by his researches. He draws the conclusion that the use of colored signals on railways is exceedingly dangerous. Discs, painted white, ced, and green, are used for signals by-d-iy, and white, red and green lamps by night. The use of signals which are of colors which very many persons are not able to diatinguish from each other, is manifestly botti absurd and dan¬ gerous. The use of colored signals by sea Is iulyect to the same objection; We copy a pas sage from the Review ou this subject:
.''When two vessels ore passing each other, only the green or the red light will be seen by the pilot, and if one or btfth" are color blind, these lights w;iU be of less than no service, the red; lamp may be mistaken for the green, or tbe revJBrse, and a collision determined by the mis

* The Want of Physical Training.
There can bo no queation that iu thia day the value of education la fully understood, aud the advantages it furuiahua its pOHseaHor right- Ijoppreoiuted; tbo qubn iou i.n rulher jittasiug itaelf, whether, iu our auliety to make our children precocioutily learned, we aro not do¬ ing injuBtico lo their future prospects in life by unduly cultivating the nieuta! fnoulties ut the expeuae of tbe development of thi- physical organizaiiou. Vhysiologistri, pbyaiciauB, and eren commou observers, are cousiauilyitlling U3 of the deteriomtioii uf the people of this conntry in physical status, and in proof of what they allege, point to Ibe weak, fragile forms ol ouryouili, which in too many iiititaiioes Beem to be already the abode of diiieaao at an age when buoyant spirits and robust health should be the kindly gift of nature. It would be a foo sweeping couclusion to ascribe to any One practice, huwuver deleterious, ibia evil which proceeds from u general neglect of hygi- enic law, but we are convinced that tbe forced system of education now in vogue, with its prolonged hours of study, its multiplicity of branches, and over stimulating iufiucnce upon the brain, has to answer for a very serious amount of the producing causes that are rais¬ ing in all our large cities a pnny, nervous race of boys, unfitted to grapple with the tasks of later life, and of girls, who as mothers wiU perpetuate their own inadeqaate physical or¬ ganization.
When an evil grows so seriouB as to present Stfltif prominently to public attention, there is hope of correction, and wo aze glad to see that the invoBtigation directed towards our system of education is no longer casual or cursory, bat la asanming a definite pnrpose, and ex¬ posing clearly the dangers toward which we are tending. The voice of warniDg is issuing from influenti ^. quaners, and the pennlty of cramming oui youth with knowledge, and of orerworkingand overtasking their mental pow- era^'rhilst tbo body is neglected; or refused the exercise and fresh air necessary to its de¬ velopment, pointed, out with a cleurneds that should awaken alarm and call imperatively for reform. The American Medical Monthly has spoken pertinently and well upon this subject, and its remarks shouM bring reflection to the minds of parents, leading ^bem to examine whether the child in whose profloiency they take BO much pride is not somewhat like those attractive flowers with which our gardeners tempt purchasers, Iu the early spring, forced iuto premature brilliancy by hot house cul¬ ture, but quickly perishing ;when removed from the atmosphero in which it has nt once grown into early life and found the way to early de¬ cay. ; ¦
'We have often queried (says the American Monthly) whether Ihere was not sumethicg decidedly wrong in the amount of time that th^ Common School demands of our children for study, and the still greater amount that it spoils for recreation.
'Our city schools require'—and it amounts to about the same thing throughout the State —tbat the scholar shall be on hand from 9 o'clock till 12, and from 12j to 8. Now 6J hours would not; be too much for any health¬ ful child, if with, the ringing of the dismissal bell there came a season of relaxation until 9 of the next day.' Cut when we meet our boy of ten years old returning from school, we find him always loaded down with books—geogra¬ phy, astronomy, physiology, aud half a score of tho sort beside—in several of -ffhich ho as¬ sures UB that he must get a lesson before mom-^ ing. And upon farther inquiry, we find that, except exercises in arithmetic,; reading, spel¬ ling, and writing, all his.stndying is to be done out of school hours 1 Of course, if he is bright, he soon learns how to moke short work of his lessons, and by hurried or stolen reviews In school, to 'Btufi"' for recitation. But if he ia dull, he has a harderlot. Goming:from. school, he 17 jaded and vreary. He loathes the sight of a book. Ho' lon^a to put his old ' trowsers* on, and kneel in the gutter <-.r on the crossing to have one good game of marbles, or ho ag¬ onizes for a game at ball, or'tag.' Ho wants' to expand hi^ lungs and stretchy hiis legs, and shake biiqself unhampered by a nice coat, and Out of the sight of grumbling teachers and gnardians..
' The prudent parent' may consent to this in the summer time, but in winter there is. no larger margin for play between the last-hour of school and the first of night thaii a supper of proper length should entirely occinpy, and none like to bave their children out after darlc; Then, vith the coming darkness, the ladmnst sit down to hia books. Under the most favor-r 'able circumstances, he shares a light with the members of the family, and vrhile they talk of new dresses and gossip of the day's sflTairs, he must keep his attenttonoa problems that he &boiQiiuLtes,'or sUive pBrpetually to commit to memory dates, namesifigarea, in which bo Can have no mortal interest. He is three times as long abont it as'if he had learn'ed the same

That the'prospects of'the obilifren are still darker would appear by simi¬ lar investigations. .As a specimen, two facta are mentlorietJ:,
* Va a p6rtibti,of our counti^, as healthy as any lither, two female institutions—one in a oi^ ind the other in tlie country-^were exami¬ ned. 'In thecity Bchool one hundred and oigbt were >iiimined. Of these thr'eefourths had more or less bad headaches and bUjer ailments, wbil < thirty-five bad' curvature- of the spine (latc-iil) in ditferent stages. In tlie country school of one hundred and nine .examined nut less than fifty (near one half) had more or.lces curvatore of the sphie—thia being one of the surest indications of a feeble constltotion.— Besidts this evil, projecting necks', round shoulders and fiat cheats were altogether in tbe majority in both Institutions.*
Mt parents, teachers, and school committees will but prosecute auch inquiries they will fin4 similar results in all directions, especially in those schools where the children have been m05t| atimubited to study without caring for theit^ bodies
' In such schools besides curved spiues, .projecliug necks, round shoulders, aud flat ohest's, will be seen a ainrkcd change in the complexion of childhood compared with that of former generations. Fifty years ago in our school- houses,especialIy in ihe Northern States, the ]^uddy hne of the English sktn and th* rosy cheek were the most common features of childhood ;. while now a thick bloodless white or the sallow skin are altogether in the ma¬ jority.'
The 'Boston Friends of Education* having the epme evils in view, discourage the practice of giving to the public school children tasks to leari] out of school, as a measure necessary to .save'the next generation from its threatened impotence. The necessity of physical train¬ ing ip onr schools, to be made' an imperative part|of the practice of the scholar and the daty;cf the teacher, is the desideratum that is now more greatly wanted than any advance in onr systems of mental education. To learn the young to love vigorous physical exercise and to enjoy it. not only for its preeent pleas- urei but for itQ absolute necessity as a health- giving medium, is the work that requires im¬ mediate and energetic effort. Tbe taste thus implanted will last through life, giving vigor to body, energy to the mind, and afi'ording in itself, at all times, a ready and innocent meand of enjoyment. We should then no longer find our women limiting their onl-door eierci^ to a sailntor along a fashionable street, and return¬ ing fatigued but not benefited, nor our men re¬ jecting a ecamper.over the country or a walk of five-or ten miles aa on onerous task only to be tindertakeu upon compulsion; Mnscular vigor, powers of endurance, independence, de¬ cision and generosity of; character, courage, and presence of mind.cheerfulness and strength of the intellectual faealties are products of proper physical training, and they are to be'se-' enre^ only by proper atteption to thacqnalde- vel6]^ment of tbe'body and mind. Lot-'every parent remember these facts, - now that the season for out-door exercise is approaching, aind Encourage and direct their children in de¬ veloping their physical powers by spending the laf^eat portion of their time in the open air employed in exercises that may amiise the mind and strengthen the body. The more fragile tfaey;are, the greater tbe development of their nervous spstem, the more imperative the need of exercise and fresh air, for as Lord Bacon has 'pell said, ' there, is no disease whose furth¬ er development could not be prevented, or which, at its commencement, could not have been cnred by bodily exercise.*

Spirit of the School Journals.
* Ma,nncrs' is the subject of a passage in the American Journal of Education, in which Dr. Hnn^ington, the author of the same, says some admirable thicgs, Mark them, parents and teachers: "
A;noble and attractive every-day bearing com^ of goodness, of sincerity, of refinement And' these are' ibred in years, hot moments. The frincif^ that rules your life is the sure pos- ture-ynakerJ. Sir Philip Sydney was the pat- ternlto all England of a perfect gentleman; but jheri he i?as the hero that on the field of Zuijihen.poshed away the cup of cold-water from his owa fevered and parching lips, and heldj it out to the dying soldier at his side! If lofty sentiments habitually make their home in t^e heart, they will beget, not perhaps a ^ factitious and finical drawing-room etiquette, but the breeding of a genuine and more royal genblity, to which no simple, no^ young heart will Irefuae its homage. ChUdren are not edu¬ cated iUl they catch the eJiarm that makes a gen- tU^i^n or lady I A coarse and slovenly teach¬ er,;^ vulgar and boorish presence, munching apples or chestnuts at recitations like a squir¬ rel, jHicketing bis hands like a mummy, pro- jeotpg his'heels nearer the firmament than bis skull, like a cirons clown, and dispensing American saliva like a .member of Congress, inflicts a wrong on the school-room for which no ftoientific attainments are an offset. An educator tbat despises the resources bid in his p^r^nal carriage deserves, on the principle of Sw^enborg's retribntioDS, similia similibtts, or Mikfi deserves like,'to bo passed through a 'ponacmonium of Congressional bullying.

'Nor ,' was the ready suggestion. . '
'North of Asia,' said Amandsi, with confi¬ dence

This was once round the class with a ques- ¦tion>piece, and was an exact specimen of the maimer in which the poor scholars were taught The; teacher asked the questions, having first designated who should answer, and then when tbere was the least hesitation he prompted them, giving them the half or tho whole of the first^ word, and allowing them to commence exactly where he left off and finish the word or sentpnce, as the case might be. And the result wasj us might have been expected, tbe scholars could no more go on with a reoitation without thisj constant prompting i\itkn a cripple can Wali; without his accustomed orutchcs.
Tc this wretched habit of prompting there is a moral objeotiozr of the most- aerioua nature. Every recitation ought to bo, as we have ffe- queutly said in these columns,' a leisaon in hones' ty. [ It is no slight evidence of a moral feeling ^n a' pupil when he will disdain to pretend to know what he does not But on the prompting system, children gradually lose the power of knowing whether they know their lesson or not.. The object of pursuit in schools of alt grades should be TauxB, and this ol^ect is ut¬ terly lost sight of in a school conducted on the plaij so will shown up in the Rhode Island Schoolmaster. Avoid it, teachers.
Wo regret to see. in the OHo Journal of Education, a long article by Mr. J. W. An¬ drews, President of Marietta College, strongly recommending the Introduction of Latin and Gre^ into the public schools, as ' an integral part of the system. We object most decidedly. Thtffle languages cau only be pursued With success in sohools where every pupil is.a classi¬ cal student, and every thing is subordinated to the one purpose of attaining classical knowl¬ edge. Classical Bchoola there ahonld be.— Thej-e are a/ew minds in every country that- can jbe nourished best with the knowledge con¬ tained in the ancient langaagest But there are lonly a few.' In a classical school of-one hundred boys, there are'uattaljy about five who pursue their studies with an iiitelllgent entbur siasm, who read Virgil and Cicero with a feel¬ ing for the meaning of- the text, as well as an understanding of Its grammatical consb-nction. To the rest the lesson is mere mechanical, drudgery. We maintain tbat olassloal studies are a spetialty that should not be provided for frota the people's purse. Their introdutition into: the public schools would have many bad effects, adding greatly/to the «ost of mstruo- tton^ and diminishing the getieral efiScienoy of the schools.
