EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

The subject of Physical education Is be
ginning to attract attention The following
remarks are from the Boston Courier. writ
ten by the editor after having attended
school festival in Faneuil Hail:

Their were very many lovely countcnances
lovely with an expression Of intellect and
coodncss--but they were Ike fair flowers
resting upon fragile stalk. Narrow chests,

were far too common. There was a general
want in their movements OF The bonyancy
and viyacity Of youth and CHI lIhood. The
heat OF the day and the nervous exhaustion
Of the occasion were to be taken into the ac-
count and due allowance should be made for
item. But this was not the trat time that
in Boston in the education Of girl', the body
is lamtntably neglected. And it is Il very
great and serious neglect, the consequences
Of which will not end with the sufferers
themselves. OF what use is it to learn all
sorts Of things during the first sixteen years
Of life, and to stuff the BRAN with all kinds
Of knowledge, if the price he a feeble or dis

woman must take her part in performing
the duties and sustaining the burdens OF life.
These young model scholars, in due time,
will marry men whose lot it is to earn tier
