Ere his letter came had become wcaried

TO, PARENTS.

A sound mind in IL sound body-a great
blessing this, and ono which all parents
should try to secure their children. Ex- !
cessive mental exertons is bad for any |
child. The physical system shouls: be the !
first object. If the order Of nature be re- !
verscd, the mind rs well rs the body will
suffer. 1t would often be easy for skill
ful parent 10 make child prodigy, but Il
judcious parent will never attempt it.
Premature growth Of mind will seldom, if
| ever, he found to spring from vigorous
root. We do not doubt that many have sunk
into an early grave through the unnatural
development Of their faculties, and the ex
cessive excitement of mental and physical
sensibility, which is usually the effect Of it.
Let it be, then, the care of the parent to
guide aud direct. rather than to force, into
a right channel the immature mental facul-
ties Of the cild. But, 10y all means, would
VIC earnestly recommend, to 60 hand in
hand with moral training, a heath.preserv,
ing and gorimparting education of the
body. To bc more explicit we would say,
in the first place, if circumstances give the
freedom Of choice, do not send children Of
an early age to school. The many hours
confinement, the frequent close atmosphere,
and the constrained posture connected with
most schools for Young children, can but be
I'M jurious to their health Their time wonl,l
be far better employed in acquiring, by al.
most constant exercise, the bones and mus
rIe which they will want in future lie
The above objection, however. does not al
together apply to schools, which, when prop
er'y conducted, especially provide for tl'
physical training of the scholars, combining
! healthy play with learning and are general
r " well ventilated. II is II source of rejoi.'
