Looal (~" Mr. Editor.--The prei.._. .„ :ully graded schools ia moat excellent. The rery thorough and yet highly Interesting style af modern teaching is well fitted to educate both the memory and tho reasoning powers. But some of us fond parents fear that there 1B .nger lest tho well meant efforts of our careful id conscientious teachers may do harm instead . being only helpfnl to our children. In all graded schools there seems a strong tendency to exact too much of young and growing pupils. I think all medical men agree that six hours a day of confinement to booksis all that should be required durinsftbe developine period of life. When these hours are ended the mind should be entirely released from Ita tension; the child after a good play speU to find speedy refresh- lent in sleep, and the youth by social pleasure, _iusical exercises or religious 6crvicee, to find rest in change of occupation and opportunities -- edncation of the social, esthetic and rell- (ut what are the facls? Onr little children ^jie homo with a number of arithmetical ex- amples to perform and copy into a book, an essay to prepare or some other lesson to study, which a « e d t o the pressure of the long school hours takes tho joyousness and elasticity too largely out of the life of a conscientious child; while the youth are crowded with severe study ---'--- hours of the evening, and with saddest >on onr daughters, for one need not search long to find physical If not mental wrecks caused by this over-forcing process of That this evil is tbe fault largely of ambitious Barents is doubtless true for school boards are mbltc servants and seeking the public good, and the fidelity of over-worked teachers proves their unselfishness in the matter. It is a most hopeful Indication that parents begin to awake to tbe real interests of their children, and to recognize the value of a sym- metrical education and development of both mind and body, and the careful training of all the faculties and powers of both simultaneous- ly, for I know not how many have of late ex- pressed to me their regret that the school stud- ies of their chidren left them neither time or ;rength for any thing beside. The difficulty seems to be just here, the course of study is arranged and the lessons pre- scribed to occupy the pupil's whole available time, making no allowance for other necessary things, i. e., the large amount of recreation needed by the young—the fact that with many their musical education must go on at tbe same time and outside of school hours, and the im- portant fact tbat there is a social and a religious nature to be developed and cultured during these training years of life. The lessons are '-- long or too many-certainly there is "" "• great pressure putjupon the child- be assigned to tat this remedy it to dwell upon ia only a tempo- again under thr and disgrac* with the failure to keep with one's class, and such a constant appeal is made to the spirit of emulation that unless the lessons are such as to be easily and safely mas- tered the sensitive and nervous child will press on in the race until sometimes he, or more likely she, literally drops dead by the way.

It has raged here to a fearful extent, quite a large -i mber of cases proving fatally. There Is a family, here by the name of Light, miller, who moved here from Rochester, N. Y., this season. Mrs. Light said to some of the neighbors that previous to moving here she had an attack of diphtheria and cured herself by the asa oi kerosene oil as- a gargle, also swallowed some; but the remedy was eo simple that our citizens didn't think anything of It untilfiveof Mr. Joseph Jelley's children were tafcen down with the diphtheria. Their throats became swollen and cankered terribly. Mre. Jelley sent after her neighbor, Mrs. MMiette, who had lately lost a son by the disease, to ascertain whether it was really diphtheria or not. Mrs. Mullette prononnced it - diphtheria in a very dangerous form. Mrs. Jelley said she would use Mrs. Light's remedy-kerosene oE-whlchshe ive her children as a gargle, also had them rallowBotne. The childrenrecovered rapidly, ad in a few days were ont on the street. Another neighbor by the name of Lusia, rail- road track master at tills place, had three of their children taken wilh diphtheria, and enred iem with kerosene oil. ( Wm. Emeiy had four children 'taken down, id gave kerosene oil and they recovered. Robert Gillette was taken with it, and cured Imsetf with kerosene also. MK John BeynoHs, of Ingraham, had daugh- ter and niece cared by kerosene oil after they were given up for death by the doctor. What Is most astonishing is that not a single case where they used kerosene oil has proved fatal. The remedy Is simple and certainly cheap, and always at hand in al! families throughout the land. Also, George Gillette had three: children taken with the eame disease very bad, and were cured a new school house was necessary, o of land oontaiclng about three anc_ e could be bought for $400, and also to empower Board of Education to bnild a new school house after a plan drawn by B.

SI.—One of the moBt remarkable and nexplicable experiments relative to the strength of the human frame was witnessed in Herron's store the other evening, between the "man of bones"—as he is called here-and the Doctor, in a rough and tumble encounter. When they clinched we thought that every bone of tbe "man of bones" would be broken. But judge of oar astonishment when we saw the Doctor lifted with herculean strength and thrown prostrate upon Herron's portable, self-acting, submarine stove, and held there by this "man of bones" as If in a vice of iron. And as he gathered himself up, giant like, he folded bis arms and looked down upon his prostrate an- tagonist as though he could handle fifty of the same magnitude. There was not one that wit- nessed this great feat bnt what thonght the days of miracles had surely come again.

Mr. Editor.--The prei.._. .„:ully graded schools ia moat excellent. Therery thorough and yet highly Interesting styleaf modern teaching is well fitted to educateboth the memory and tho reasoning powers.

But some of us fond parents fear that there 1B.nger lest tho well meant efforts of our carefulid conscientious teachers may do harm instead

. being only helpfnl to our children. In allgraded schools there seems a strong tendencyto exact too much of young and growing pupils.I think all medical men agree that six hours aday of confinement to booksis all that shouldbe required durinsftbe developine period of life.When these hours are ended the mind shouldbe entirely released from Ita tension; the childafter a good play speU to find speedy refresh-

lent in sleep, and the youth by social pleasure,_iusical exercises or religious 6crvicee, to findrest in change of occupation and opportunities

amples to perform and copy into a book, anessay to prepare or some other lesson to study,which a « e d t o the pressure of the long schoolhours takes tho joyousness and elasticity toolargely out of the life of a conscientious child;while the youth are crowded with severe study- - - ' - - - hours of the evening, and with saddest

>on onr daughters, for one need notsearch long to find physical If not mentalwrecks caused by this over-forcing process of

That this evil is tbe fault largely of ambitiousBarents is doubtless true for school boards arembltc servants and seeking the public good,

and the fidelity of over-worked teachers provestheir unselfishness in the matter.

It is a most hopeful Indication that parentsbegin to awake to tbe real interests of theirchildren, and to recognize the value of a sym-metrical education and development of bothmind and body, and the careful training of allthe faculties and powers of both simultaneous-ly, for I know not how many have of late ex-pressed to me their regret that the school stud-ies of their chidren left them neither time or;rength for any thing beside.The difficulty seems to be just here, the

course of study is arranged and the lessons pre-scribed to occupy the pupil's whole availabletime, making no allowance for other necessarythings, i. e., the large amount of recreationneeded by the young—the fact that with manytheir musical education must go on at tbe sametime and outside of school hours, and the im-portant fact tbat there is a social and a religiousnature to be developed and cultured duringthese training years of life. The lessons are' - - — long or too many-certainly there is

it to dwell uponia only a tempo-again under thr

and disgrac* with the failure to keepwith one's class, and such a constant appeal ismade to the spirit of emulation that unless thelessons are such as to be easily and safely mas-tered the sensitive and nervous child will presson in the race until sometimes he, or morelikely she, literally drops dead by the way.Let us have shorter lessons.

-i mber of cases proving fatally.There Is a family, here by the name of Light,miller, who moved here from Rochester, N.

Y., this season. Mrs. Light said to some of theneighbors that previous to moving here she hadan attack of diphtheria and cured herself by theasa oi kerosene oil as- a gargle, also swallowedsome; but the remedy was eo simple that ourcitizens didn't think anything of It until five ofMr. Joseph Jelley's children were tafcen downwith the diphtheria. Their throats becameswollen and cankered terribly. Mre. Jelley sentafter her neighbor, Mrs. MMiette, who hadlately lost a son by the disease, to ascertainwhether it was really diphtheria or not. Mrs.Mullette prononnced it - diphtheria in a verydangerous form. Mrs. Jelley said she would useMrs. Light's remedy-kerosene oE-whlchshe

ter and niece cared by kerosene oil after theywere given up for death by the doctor.

What Is most astonishing is that not a singlecase where they used kerosene oil has provedfatal. The remedy Is simple and certainlycheap, and always at hand in al! familiesthroughout the land.
