OVERTANING CHILDREN IN SCHooL.-At
the recent meeting of the Wisconsin State
Medical Society paper was read bytDr Wa.
terhcuse, of Portage City, on the subject oi
Debility in Children, especially with reference
70 the evils of overtaxing children in our
schools. the facts aud suggestions OF which
were deemed 80 valuable that resolution was
adOpted requesting its general publication by
the author We copy the following
'ip our common schools OF the present day
everywhere, but more especially IN cities and
the larger villages, where the best teachers are
sought and generally obtained-every induce.
ment every incentive that can be devised and
brought To bear to stimulate and encourage
study IS faithfully and persistently applied
The consequence ~ that many OF our brightest
and best children of from six to ten years oil
ace are performing more study, more mental
labor. than most OF the business men, or moIe
than their teachers. am aware that many
children are sluggish IN temperament, and Will
bear and seem to require great urging to get
them TO learn yet, with many oil this class, II
i, their rapid growth that takes away their
energy aud even ability to study and, conSe-
auently, YOU must fail TO get them to learn
much until they cease to grow so rapidly; or,
II You succeed 10 getting study out OF them,
YOU induce an9mia. What else can you ex-
meet? You cannot get more from the blood
than there Is in it and since the blood must
supply nourishmeat to the brain and the body
aud oil its organs for their growth, besides re-
pairing the waste of their eXertions, 1t follows
that, whenever you tax that tlnid beyond It's
income, aDrmia Is the result.
