Rnthing Children.

Some mothers think, when their chill
dren get beyond two or three years OF
age, the frequent entire bath can be
dispensed with. If some of the main
facts of physiology were well known
and understood, every n would per-
ceive that cleanliness Of the skin is one
of the conditions of good health. 1t
happens when bathing is disregarded
that the lungs, kidneys or bowels have
more than their own apportionment OF
work. If these are strong and hea thy,
they may bear the tax with little appar-
cnt injury, but, in most cases, a lower
ing of the vitality and tone of the sys-
TEN cnsues. Large hath-tubs are pleas
ant and convenient, but not indispensa'
BILE to the proper cleansing Of the skin.
A speedy sponging of the body in pure
water, followed by friction in pure air,
is all that is necessary. When disin'
clined to use water, / find a thorough
application of the flesh-brush to the
whole person an admirable substitute (;
especially, on retiring, it relieves ncr-
vousness, equalizes the circulation and
induces quiet sleep. Mothers, above
all, should see that their children are
well bathed. If their skins are kept
active and healthy, there will not be
half the danger from fever, colds, and
eruptive diseases. If your little one Is
cross or troublesome, and finds no occu-
patton that pleases him, try the effect OF
u bath sometimes it is magical, and, if
tired, lie will go to sleep, and awaken
bright, cheerful and happy. DO not,
though, as / have seen some parents do,
plunge a child into cold water when he
screams and shrinks from it, thinking
you arc doing a good deed. Nature
must be the guide; if your child has a
nervous constitution, a shock of this

THE SCHOOL LOCATION.

The movement relative to the
erection ofa building for the pur-
pose of an advanced or grammar
school is at present ill-advised.
Whatour educational interests de-
mand is the erection of a suitable
building in each Ward, where pri-
mary studies may be pursued
The buildings we have are made
quate. We also want more teach
ers-we are imposing ON those
we have, the herculean task Of
instructing twice or thrice the
number of children that can prop
erly be attended 10, and the result
is the wasted time OF our children.
Cur school fathers inform US that
the funds for school purposes pro-
hibit the employment OF more in-
structors that being the case is it
wise or polite TO sink our funds in
erecting an expensive structure TO
the neglect gilmore pressing wants.
We have one thousand children
unprovided With the means OF
primary instructions. They de
mand our attention at once, we
