When reviewing the causes Of these distressing

many additional causes which largely affect the

society, and which, consequently, affect less
directly the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocous education and mar
riage causes the years that nature designated for
corporal Developments to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress, the early confinement Of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus, with the body halt clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure. perverting
