AUGUST 9, 1890. | School Vacations. |

It would seem that few people have any idea of what a crowded schoolroom is like during this scorching weather. Only on| this supposition, or on the more improbable one that people do not value the health of their children, can the fact that the schools remain open be accounted for. The air in a schoolroom, when the temperature is in the eighties, is suffocating, and it is simply confine children to such rooms, and to force them to severe mental labor during such weather as we are now having.

All schools should be closed in midsum- mer. It is poor economy to keep them open. Any work done by children in school now is done with too great an effort and too great an expenditure of physical and men- tal energy to ve profitable.

This is recognized and acted upon every- where except in the country districts of} this Island. During these scorching days the country schools are filled with swelter- ing children, who are really learning noth- ing; and, what is worse, are acquiring careless, listless habits of study. Our school vacations are wretchedly arranged. Not only are the schools open when they should be closed, but they are closed when they should be open; and the effect of this double mistake is that the greater part of the time, from the last of April to the middle of November of each year, is

JRITY WHOLESOMENESS

wasted,

| Country schools have seven weeks’ vaca- | tion during the year—three weeks in May, \one week in July and three weeks in Oc- | tober, or three vacations within a period of |six months. As each of these vacations | causes a break in school work,and is preced- ed and followed by a small attendance, and a consequent disorganization of classes, the seven during which the sehools are closed ‘do not, by any means, represent the full time lost because of these vacations. They cause a loss of no less than ten weeks. For about six weeks of the time during which the schools sre open, the heat makes actual work impossible; and so the schools are as | good as closed, as far as real work is con- ‘cerned, for sixteen weeks, or nearly four months.

This estimate of the time lost by the present arrangement of the vacations will not appear extravagant to anyone fully ac- quainted with the circumstances. The spring vacation begins about the 10th of May. But for some time before that date the attendance is very small. This is partly | because some of the larger children are needed at home, but for the greater part of hit no better reason can‘be given than’ “‘that ithe school will close in a° few ‘days anyhow.” © Long after the school re- opens, too, the attendance is small ; and for a great part of this no better reason can be ‘given than that ‘‘ there is never anything

done in school for the first week or so.” It is the middle of June before the teacher can geb his classes into working order, At |the end of June there is another vacation. After hat, for several weeks, the hot makes work impossible; and scarcely has the hot weather passed away when the autumn vacation, preceeded and followed as usual by a small attendance, is at hand. © It is safe to assert that there is not more than two months actual work done {in country schools during the six summer ‘months. The remaining four months are ‘not altogether wasted ; for nearly half of |that time is really needed for a vacation. | But two months are wasted, and worse than | wasted.

A loss of time means a loss of money,

|Our schools are maintained at an annual cost of $145,000. The cost of main- ‘taining them during the two wasted months _is more than $20,000. This sum is a dead ‘loss to the people of this Province, for it is | paid for work that is not done. There is ‘also a very large indirect loss, not to be | counted in dollars. This loss is all caused | by the way in which the vacations are ar- ‘ranged. Is there any good reason why country schools should not have a midsum- mer vacation, as our town schools have, ‘and as country schools elsewhere have ? ' If permitted, I shall return to this sub- _ject, and shall endeavor to show that the ‘reason generally thought suflicient to jus- tify the loss of time and money caused by the present arrangement, is not sufficient.

There are thirteen divisions of ithem, the smallest being the Six se Baptists, with only 1,450 meinbers. he Dunkards, who have a strong foothold in ' Pennsylvania, and are counted as Baptists, ‘number 116,000. There are three divisions ‘of Dunkards, the Conservative, Progressive ‘and Old Order. The Methodists of the , United States, with sixteen divisions, num- ber 4,930,000.

A Word to the Boys. Ashamed of work, boys—good, hard hon- est work? Then lam ashamed of you— ashamed that you know so little about great men.

Open your old Roman history now and read of Cincinnatus. On the day on which they warned him to be dictator, where did they find him? In the fields, ploughing. What about Marcus Curius, who drove Pyrrhus out of Italy? Look him up; you will find him busy on his little farm.

The great Cato; you have surely heard of him—how he rose to all the honors of the Roman state ; yet he was often seen at work in the fields with his slaves.

Scipio Africanus, who conquered Hanni- bal and won Carthage for Rome, was not ashamed to labo: on his farm.

Lucretia, one of the noblest of Roman matrons, might have been seen many a day at work spinning among her maidens. Better even than the example of noble Romans is the advice of the wise man : ‘** Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.” Better than this even are the beautiful New Testament words: ‘*Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit ; serving the Lord.”

There! After hearing of these instances you will surely be ashamed sot to work.

The Mate Knew His Business.

A small fishing vessel was crawling al the shores of Puget Sound, driven we light breeze, one day recentl s the Seattle Press. She was an o fashioned erft, manned by two men, a captain and a mate. The mate, who was stationed on the bow of the vessel, suddenly espied a tide-rip ahead, and, thinking it was evi- dence of a sunken reef, hastened towards the stern of the vessel.

‘‘Capt. Blank, there is a reef dead ahead,” reported the mate,

‘‘Humph !” replied the captain, without changing the course of the vessel.

The mate went forward and watched the tide-rip uneasily for some time. Finally he went aft.

‘“‘Captain,” said he, “‘we are getting dan- gerously close to that reef.”

‘Mr. Mate,” growled the captain, say- agely, ‘‘you take care of your end of the vessel and I will take care of mine.”

The mate said nothing now, but going forward he seized the anchor and threw it overboard. It caught on bottom and the vessel swung around, bow tothe wind, with everything shaking.

“Captain,” said the mate, as he — went aft, ‘I have to report that my end of the vessel is at anchor.”

Odds and Ends.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in telling a young man ‘thow to read and how to write,” said : ‘‘Newspapers have done much to abbreyi- ate expression, and so to improve style. Learn how to get their best. Remember they are made for everybody, and don’t try to get what%isn’t meant for you. There is 4 great secret in knowing what to keep out of the mind as well as what to put in.”

‘‘All right !” exclaimed young Fledgby,

desperately. ‘‘Be a sister to me if you like, but remember that when I go out driving, or to the theatre, or wuiilies of that sort, | mean to take some other fel- low’s sister. Supposing that you wished to walk through all the streets and lanes and alleys of London, and were able to arrange your trip so that you never traversed the same one twice, you would have to walk ten miles every day for nine years before your journey would be completed.

Where Trayelling:is not Altogether Pleasant.

Travellers on the Eastern Bengal Rail- way have placed before their eyes on enter- ing the stations of the road a placard con- taining the following cheerful information : ‘* Passengers are hereby cautioned against taking anything to eat or drink from un- known persons, as there are many who live by poisoning travellers. They first of all court acquaintance with passengers in 4 sarai or some other place, and then gain their confidence on the plea of being fellow travellers going to the same place. When they reach a place convenient for the pur- pose, they poison the water or food of the passengers, who become insensible, and

then they decamp with all their property. The also at times poison the passengers water when being drawn out of wells, or sweetmeats brought from the bazaar, or food when being cooked.”
