with the rudiments Of learning and their
fitness to teach Primary School.
PRIMARY INSTRUCTION.
The first year spent by child in n
Primary School, should be regarded as a
bridge from the liberty of home life to
the regular discipline of the school room;
and all the efforts of the teacher should
be specially adapted to this peculiar con-
dltion of the pupil Children at this age
should not be expected to sit without
moving a muscle. The nervous system
Of child FIVE or six years old, is more
than three times as large in proportion
to the body, rs that Of an adult The
demand for frequent physical exercise is
imperative, aud cannot safely be Gisre-
garded.
And yet child should commence learn
ing as soon as he enters the school room
Tasks he should know nothing of, but
useful and instructive exercises of vari-
Gus kinds should be commenced immedi-
ately. He needs no text book, bu, slate
and pencil are Indispensable
The course of instruction for this class
of pupils should consist of familiar con-
versstlons upon common objects, giving
clear ideas of their various Properties,
torms, colors, uses, etc, aud cultiyating
familiar and accurate acquaintance with
the words employed to describe them;
simple exercises IN the slate or black
board, initiating some letter, or lord. or
drawing; singing; repeating verses, sing.
ely and In concert ; counting; learning
words and letters, aud their uses, from
the blackbos and from Cards with fre-
9ucnt ln,erchanges Of physical exercises
and recrcatIons
Let it be understood from the begin,
ming, that readiness and precision in the
u'e of language are among the first and
most important objects to be sought; aud
let every question receive a complete and
grammatical answer

PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Superintendent Wells in hi, for,hcom
Ing Report gives some important facts in
relation to Primary Schools. We quote
a portion, which in point Of local inter.
est, is Of great value:
AGE or ADMISSION.
There is another point of considerable
importance in its relation to the prosperi.
ty Of Primary Schools, to which | beg
leave to cull the attention Of the Board
By the present school law of this State,
children are admitted to the public
schools at five years of age. In St. Louis,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louisville, Wash
ington, Charleston, New Orleans, and
most other cities out of New England,
the age Of admission is limited to six
years instead of five.
For the purpose of ascertaining the
sentiments Of different School Boards, re
spee'lng the best limits to be adopted, l
recent y addressed letters to about forty
of the principal ci.ies of the Union, con-
tanning the following inquiry:
"Are the advantages Of admitting pu-
pills under six years, in the estimation of
your School Board, as great as the disad.
vantages %
The answer received, in nearly every
instance, was an emphatic negative.
The example of some If the eastern cit
les is not safe guide for us in this par
ticuiar In Boston, children are often
received as young as four years If We
hnd means to provide schools for children
of four or five years, wher: they could be
preserved from the unfavorabl- ntiuer ces
OF the streets, and have The benefit of
slmplc aud easy course of oral and slate
instruction, with frequent interchanges
OF recreation, for threc or four hours n day,
it would undoubtedly be great relief to
parents, and, in many instances, would
be far better for the children than to re-
main at home. But it is obvious tlat
children OF this uge cannot proftably or
safely be subjected to the regular drill
and discipline Of the school room. The
effects would be alike Injurious both to
body and mind
The time may come when we can afford
to indulge in the luxury of Infant
Schools, but it is manifestly unjust u the
present crowded state Of our rooms. to
receive children at FIVE. and thereby cx.
c'ude those who are old enough to receive
the full beneft Of school discipline and
instruction
/, is to be hoped, that at the next ses-
sion of our State Lcgis aturc, either the
school law or our city charter will be 80
modified, that the Common Council will
have authority to exclude from the pub
l'c schools all childrea under six years of
age

ture, and his writings are valued quite as
much in England as here. He com
menced his literary career at the age of
10, with fattering success. and TO literary
pursuits his whole life was devoted
The latest work upon which Nh. Irving
was engaged, aud the GROWING work of
his life, was the Life OF Washington, an
elaborate and by far the most interesting
and valuable biography of the P0ter
Patrt1 which has been written He was
spared to complete this work, and laid
aside his pen to ENJOY the autumn Of his
life in his beautiful retreat upon the banks
of the Hudson. Here, surrounded by his
books, and in the society Of Il few choice
friends, he has breathed out biz life so
calmly that his death has taken the pub
lie by surprise. Full OF years and honCrs
rich in the admiration and generation
Of his countrymen-happy in his social
relations and surroun lings--he has filled
the measure Of his years and Of his use
funess, and leave behind him the memory
OF completed life, and works that will
live 50 long as English literature is cult.
