the opinion EXAMINER

He

expressed by

“The training and development of the mind and the laws of mental bealth are probably less underatcod and more neglecteu, by teacher and parent alike, than aoy other branch of sanitary acience. Why such epatby and indifterence exists in re- gard to a matter of such vital importance, cas only be explained by the assumption that the people have every confidence in the educationa’ system, and take it for granted that the modernized methode of the educa ors, built as they are on the system formulated, is as perfect as human ingenuity can make it.

There is a morbid desire on the part of pateristo have their children pursue an exten: ive co of studies, many of which are rot of the slightest benefit from a prac- tical standpoin:. This sysiem,as carried Out, too often leaves the mind in a muddle of confused idee not ove of which is clear- ly comprehended. 1f this were the great est fault allowance might be made.

The firet seven or eight years of a child’s life should be spent in play, or occupation tree from worry and care, devoted to the growth of bone and muscle. The nervous syt'em bas quite evnough work thrown upon it in prepa og for those fusctions of life which are formed sutomatically. ‘Tbe power of keeping one subject eatirely clear of another subject, is not ins child’s mind. Even for anadult to coucentrate bis miod on eight or tend:ferent subjects in the course of a school day is a difficult matter. How much more brain fatigue would be prodaced ina child’s developing brain?

The child grows iu physical strength and stature, and (uring that time the brain conetantiy unfold- its latent powers, makes continual progress into higher and h gher life. Anything inthe form of worry or uodue strain, or any’ condition which jnterferes with the proper outrison of the brain during this period of life, will interfere with its growth and development and must impair its further usefulness. f

The infant has only the instinct to provide nourishment, but io time the senses deve- jopand then the knowledge acquired is altogether throug) the senses of sight, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. This being the case it necesearily follows that the education he receives should be tiirough preceptions for the first ten ortwelve yeara. Hie senses should be need, and his power of attention not woduly wo scied. The memory, one of the lowest faculties of the miad, or as paych- ologists tell us it is merely the result of the registuation of impressions, should not be ovectaxed. He ought to see some tang- ible resultot his effort to acquire know- ledge, aod this will result only from teach- understands and re-

—_ ~

made to conform to one nniform standard of cast~'ron rigidity, The prescribed ex- amioation must be passed by all alike. Studies are crowded upon them far in ad-

| vance of (he capac ty of the child’s devel- opment. “A sound mindin a sound body” it ofies quoed to mean the mind

must be developed with the body, forgetful of the fact that physical development | must and always does precede mental de- velopment, and that the body cannot long remain sound if the brain is kept ina con etant alate of exhaus.ion for mental strain and oyerwork, The precocious _ five-year-old is doted upon and Jauded by parents and teachers aui held up as an example before its class~ when "twere better far he shou! be mak- ing mud daintics,etc., even at the extreme annoyance of his nuree or mother.

Too many subjects are crowded into the curriculum. Many of our eminent men obtained their early education in the vil lage schools where little elee than the three R’s were tavght, but they learned these well. They were generally well- grown children before they eatered schcol, and were in robust bealth. They obtained a thorough knowledge of the branches taught, not because of any suneriority of their brain power over the children of to day, but because they were not confnsed by the numerous subjects to be learned, aud were not goaded by the sysiem of competitive examinations uow ip vogue. When tbey arrived atthe age at which their predilections were formed they enter-~ ed heartily into the course of study they had selec.ed.

Competitive «samivafions must also produce dire resulis as now conducied, Lhe monthly report sevt home to the par< ents, showing the graded stauding, is in- jurious toa degree. What the brigbiest pupil can accompol'eh is made the stan- dard forthe rest. Brain exhaustion is

severe

the resul*. More harm may ‘ve done in one month at this pressure than by a year’s cereful study,

Unfortunately the strain comes hardest where it is least canable of beiag borne, upon the auxious, earnest, ambitious and sensitive children, the very ones who woulddoall they ought withouc such stimulation.

The question arises, will reform come in our day? Qne writer says: ‘The fault lies almost wholly withthe parents. They

want the wor h of their money. They want their ‘pound of flesh,’ and educators are merely furnishing what the public demands, The vast majority of parents aid the forcing process. As son aa the children returo from schoo! they are urged aud owen compelled ‘to apply

themselves to their studies unti) late at night, and the early morn finds them bending over their books. Little regard is had for either their physical or mental wel™re, just so long as they stand well in their classes.” Cau we have a sound mind withowt a sound body? Must one be sacrificeed for the other? Is it necessary that hollow eyes, sunken chests, weakened perves,and a miserable staie generally be acquired ere intellectua} greatness be attained? Or should the mens tai and physical be equally developed to make the truly great.

We commend these remarks of a physi- cian, who evidently koows what he is writing about, to the attention of parents teachers, school trustees, and the Board of Education ia this Province. is of vital importance, The existing sys- tem is ruinous to physical aod mental health.

THOUSANDS OF MARITIME PRO- VINCE RESIDENTS WERE IN DEADLY DANGER.

Most of Tuem Would Have Perished but for Dudd’s Kidney Pills—Kidney Diseases Vanisu Before this Great Remedy,

Hauirax, N.S, Aug. 19.—The list of names cf Maritime Province residents,who have been recently cured of Kidney Dis- eases by Dodd’s Kidney Pilla, and which was published a few days ago in the leading newspapers of these provinces, has eeateu deep interest and has been the one great topic of Conversation ever since.

“You think thelist is large!” said 4 leading Haliiax druggist to one of hie cus- tomers, who wasspeaking of the matter ‘olav. “Well, so it ie.”

“Bat kk at this,” he said, te’sing oe number of sh’ ‘s of foolscap pap r from his desk. **Here is alist of names of some of \uose among my customers who bave been cured of Kidney Disease, in one form or another, by Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

“T am compiling this list just for curiosity.” J have already fii.y names and [ have spoken to only about half my cus tcmers yet.”

‘it 1s really the mort remarkable thing [ ever heard of,” went on the druggist. “Here are the names cf fit v persons. Some bad Rbuematiem,some Lumbago, ot ers had Disbetes, others Bright’s Disease; four bad Paralysie, three had Heart disease, ove bad Sione in the Bladder; five had Gravel and so On. They a)) state bere, in writing, that Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured ther.

“Consider that every other druggist can malse a similar list. Cownt the number of druggists taroughout the country,and you will eee the startling lezge num) r of cures Dodd’s Kiduey Hills have made.

“It goes to prove beyond ali dispute, that Dodd’s Kidney Pil.s are simply iwfalliable, in all Kidney D: eases, 3 never yet heard of a case where it failed to cure.”

Seaweed.

The longest plants in the world are seaweed. One tropical and subtropical variety is known which, when it reaches its full development, is at least 600 feet in length. Seaweeds do not re- ceive any nourishment from the sedi- ment at the bottom or borders of the sea, but only from air and mineral mat- ters held in solution in the sea water.

Fraud Unmasked anil

Exposed.

Forsome years the ladies of Canada have suffered much joss and ipconveniance from use of deceptixe home dye put up to look tike the popular Diamond Dyes.

These imitation package dyes were sold at very low prices to retail merchants, who

in turn made immense profits on them when sold to women whowere unfortun~ ately influenced to buy them.

These imitasions of Diamond Dyes were aever sold more than once to any woman. They possessed no foundation qualities or good points io make them valuable or pop- ular. They were made of the cheapest ingredients, the colors were dead, muddy and unsightly, and they ftnined all materi- als they came in contact with. These common dyes are nowso despisel and shuuned that storekepers are glad t. a2!) them at half price to be rid of tuem.

The Diamond Dyes are still marching on to new victories, and have always main - tained their position by trie merit alone. Beware of the imitation and cheap dyes that are etill pushed on the unavspecting by some dealers. If a storekeper values your trade he will recommend you to use-Dia- mond Dyes.
