SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
The paper Tread by Mr.. SWAN, of Bos-
ton states that children should be permitted to enter
the Common Schools at the age Of four years and 10
continue In attendance until they shat have completed
the course of study The Committee do not recon
mend that children should in all cases be sent at this
early age, but those whose parents cannot will not
direct their home education, should by all means be
sent The children of the poor, dwelling In dark an"s
and uosome cellars cannot be sent 10 school too soon
either for their moral or ply sca good. Where proper
care is bestowed at home more advanced sge would
