EES- The Lancaster Graded School
opened very full yesterday, but with
out a full corps of teachers. Miss
. is having resigned and returned to
Dss MONIES on account of severe
throat disease, her place has been
filled by Miss Murphey of Edgerton,
who is at present too unwell-to open
her department. The school is
prospecting 6nely thus far, but parents
should remember that it is public
school, and that it is ct all times open
to their inspection. lftheir children
were being taught dancing, a lively
interest We uld be felt, TO induce
parents to look in and view their
progress. 1t always cheers and en-
courages good pupils, to have friends
come into the school to take an in
terest in their toilsome struggles up
the hill Oflearning and many parents
would be better qualified to speak of
the school, if they might once see the
inside of the schoo room.

D0n,t BOX the Chlldren,s Ears.

Children's ears ought never to be boxed
We have seen that the passage of the car is
closed by thin membrane, especially adapt
ed to be influenced by every impulse of tho
air, and with nothing but the air to support
it internally. What, then, can be more
likely to in lure this membrane than a sndden
and forcibe compression Of the air in front
of ii: If any one desi gned to break or
Oyer-stretch the membrane, he could scarcely
devise more effective means than to bring
the::hand suddenly and forcibly down upon the
passage of the caa, thus driving the air yio-
lenty before it, with no possibility for it,
escape but by the membrane giving way.
And far too often it does give way, especially
if, frGm any previous disease, it has been
weakened. Many children are made deaf
by boxes on the ear i'll this way. Nor is this
the only way; if there is one thing which
does the nerve of hearing more harm than
most any other, it is q sudden jar or shock.
Children and grown persons alike may be
entirely deafened by falls or heavy blows
upon the head And boxing the ears produces
a similar effect, though mere slowly and in a
less degree. 1t tends to dull the sensibility
of the nerve, even if it does not hurt the
membrane. knew pitiful case, once, OF
q poor youth who died from a terrible dis
ease of the ear He had a discharge from it
since he was child Of course his hearing
had been dull and what had happened was
that his father had often boxed his ear for
ina;tention. Most likely that boxing On :ile
ear, diseased az it was, had much to do with
his dying And this brings ME to the seconc;
point. Children should never hc blamed for
being inattentiye, until it has been found oU,t
whether they are little deaf. This is easily
done by placing them at few yards distance
and trying whether they can understand what
is said to them in a rather low tone Of voice.
Each ear should bc tried, while the other Is
stopped by the finger. do not say that
children are never guilty of inattentioc, es-
pecially to that which they do not particu-
iarly wish to here; but DO say that very
many children are blamed and punished for
inattention when they really do not hear.
And there is nothing at once more cruel and
more hurtful to the character of children
than to be found fault with for what is really
their misfortune. Three thing should be re-
membered here: i. That slight degrees of
deafness, often lasting only for time, are
very common among children, especially
during or after colds. .. That light deaf
ness, which does not prevent person from
hearing when he is expecting to be spoken
to, will make him very dull to what he is not
expecting; and, 8. That there is kind of
