Andrew Combe is a great authority on such matters, and he tells a story of a great charity school, where the pupils were forced to be so silent that a large portion fell ill. Without doubt this is one good reason why children with delicate constitutions cannot go through our public schools without breaking down. They are kept Job still. Often too, teachers are disposed to insist on a posture so erect as to be absolutely injurious; for the body has more parts than one, and while to sit so upright is good for the chest, it is, if long continued, an intense strain oh the spine. The truth is, children should net be subjected to monotony of any kind.' They should speak and he silent, sit erect and loll, very much as nature inclines grown people to do. It is time that more attention is paid to the Kindergarten system in schools, and less to the State's prison . one so generally in vogue. Ex. school-mistre- ss .
