hundreds of children of all ages which ne

extent at recess. I believe the recess to
be chargable with most of the quarrnls
which arise among pupils, and with very
that is evil in language and habit.
The sudden change of temperature to
which children are thus exposed is a fruit
full source of disease.
The following plan obviates mott of
these evils:
Abolish the usual recess, both forenoon
and afternoon. Dismiss the primary
grades at IL o'clock and the higher grades
In succession, closing the forenooe session
at III o'clock. Let the afternoon session
open at II o'clock, and dismiss the grades
in succession, commencing at 3. At the
middle of each session introduce an exer-
else in light gymnastics, marching, etc.,
and cause the air In the room to be chan
ged. L believe this to be one of the grelt-
est OF modern improvements in the man.

PURE AIR AND PROPER TEMPERA-

inmates of a room in which the air is gra-
dually becoming more and more impure
are not conscious of the gsowing f%oulness
but a breath of pure air from an open
door enables the senses to judge by con
trast. BY some means, provisian must be
made for the exit of foul air and for the
steady supply of pure air. In doing this,
children must not ~beexposed to Il draft of
cold air. 1t is not possible for a teacher
to judge of the temperature of her school
room by her feelings. The only trust
worthy test is a good thermometer, which
should hang in the centre of the room,
suspended just above the heads of the pu-
pills, from a wire attached to the ceiling.
The proper temperature is from CD to 20
degrees Fahrenheit. w. II. p.

We were certain that the morning of
last Monday was the most arctic We bad

every one possessing a thermometer tho
they had not consulted their instruments,
and all were of the opinion that the morn
ing was the coolest" until We met Col.
L. II. Reeves, who has kept a register of
weather conditions during the winter. who
informed us that the mercury exposed on

This is the great civilizer. In the
South, we need primers, spelling-books,
states, and schoolmasters. The strong

education and the missionary labors of

order and cure the evils to which we have
been exposed than all the Ku-klux laws

GEORGIA.

Popular education is here in its infan-
cy. In the country districts and minor
towns private schools flourish but the
public schools has bad to struggle against
the rapacity of the aliens, who until lately
occupied all places of trust and response
bility. The late absconding governor,
Bullock, borrowed from the treasury all
the educational funds, placing in their
stead State bonds. which now are not
marketable. This has proved a serious
blow to educational progress; but the
prospect now is more hopeful: the best
citizens are again getting control of the
affairs of State.
Much CT the odium that naturally at
tached to those who heretofore have mis-
managed all the departments of govern
ment has been sometimes unjustly turned
against innocent parties. Commissioner
Lewis, who, We are informed, stands high
in the estimation of the people of Allan
ia, has had to suffer because of the conf
pany in which he has been thrown: BY
a ! large vote the present legislature has re-
qucstcd him to resign. We are not adj
viscd of the reasons for this request, nor
do we know what response, if any, the
Commissioner has made.

The State University opened in Octo-

The public schools arc fairly in opera
ton under the superintendcncy of Hon.
Jos. EIodgson. who devoted himself with
ability and fidelity to the discharge of his
duties. From the american Educatjoa-
al Monthly we gather the following statis-
tics: during the scholastic year 1871
the cost of administering the department
of education has been less than that for
the year 1870 by $i2,535, There has
been Il corresponding increase in the NUM-
Der of pupils and the length of the school
term. Whereas in 1870 the average
number of pupils was $1,000, the number
in 1871 is 1O7,6G6, an increase of more
than one hundred per cent. The school
term, which in 1870 averaged two months
and nine days, has increased i'll length of
session thirty-fyc and a quarter per cent.
This remarkable increase in number of
pupils, both white and colorcd. and in-
creased length of school-tcrm, have re-
suited in but small part from an increase
of the school-fund. With but III per
cent. increase of the tuition fund, we find
1OG per cent. increase of pupils, and So
per cent. increase in length of school ses-
sion.
