to bear to stimulate and encourage study
is faithfully and persistently applied.
The consequence is that many of our
brightest and best children of from six
to ten years of age are performing more
study, more mental labor, than most OF
the business men, or more 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 OF
this class, it is their rapid growth that
takes away their energy, and even ability
TO study; and, consequently, you must
fail TO get them to learn much until they
cease TO grow SO rapidly: or, if you
succeed in getting study out of them, you
induce annmia. What else can you ex-
pect You cannot get more from the
blood than there is il it: and since the
blood must supply nourishment to the
brain and the body and all its organs for
their growth. besides repairing the waste
of all their exertionS, it follows that,
whenever you tax the fluid beyond its
income anHmia Is the result.
