energy in an hour in the school, than in the
same time on farm or in the shop And wear
mess depends not so much upon the time en-
ployed as upon the rate at which nervous en-
ergy is expended The teacher needs and must
have rest and recreation. But how and what ?
He does not need Society-he has had too much
already. 1t is not the study Of books, for the
brain has already been overtasked. But in the
study of nature there is the desired relief. Let
him climb the mountains and range through the
vallies, let him observe the varied forms of ami
NAL and vegetable life, let him explore the mys-
teries of Geology, and he will come back to his
home with his physical powers endowed with
new lifesby the vigorouse exercise he has taken,
and the brain relieved of heavy and painful
load. A cheerful glow pervades his whole sys-
TEN, and he is ready to engage again in the ac-
tive duties Of his vocation.
