Much of our force as a people is no doubt,
epergized by the best of impulses and drawn
out by noble pursuits, but are we not largely
possessed by the noisy demons OF Fuss and
Hurry, and do we not often mistake quantity
for quality? We live aud move at a fearful
rate. Is there not some danger Of adding to
he effects of our climate and those which come
from the very necessities OF the newness Of
everything and the resources to be everywhere
developed, the great evil of thinking that we
can do anything that we choose to turn our
hands to, aud that the average American has
only to will aud lie can accomplish
Is there no danger that this very feeling IS
likely to make US force our children too rapid
" through schools as through a stufling pro-
cess, without due regard to thoroughness 10
method and the law OF growth and develop
ment? Are we hot too much given IN our
schools TO the attempted acquisition Of accom-
plShments, aud DO we not goad on teachers to
get our children under glass. as the gardeners
say, and force them up to some standard OF at
tainment that has been fixed by " tickle FASH
ION, aud cannot be defended by any consider
atoms of thoroughness, real beauty or useful
iuluess Is there not a great deal OF so-called
Education that does not 90 down into the mo-
raj or intellectual being, to say nothing OF the
Spiritual? Is there not a great deal of scho-
lastic yeneering deue under pressure, and, as 1t
were, under hot glue-looking very well but
not good for wear or to stand utin the storms
of life? Hufeland, in his work on the Art
of Prolonging Life" observes: " Intellectual
effort in the first years Of life is very injurious.
All labor of the mind which is required of
children before their seventh year, is in oppo-
sitiou to the laws of nature and will prove in
furious to the organization and prevent its pro-
per development" might quote indefinite
