Music HALL.-John Murray appeared last
night in the play of ''The man without
country which is the dramatization of Mr..
Hale's thrilling story bearing the same title.
Mr.. Murray was excellent, as he always is; the
death scene in act fifth being as fine piece of
acting as we have ever witnessed; but he was
SO poorly supported that it required immense
personal effort on his part to rescue the per-
Torrance from mediocrity. One fault which
we find with the play is that we see so little of
Mr.. Murray and so mach of his auxiliaries.
The audience was fair in point of numbers,
though the house was not crowded Tonight

dreams" written expressly for himself.

Dear Mr.. Editor.
Now that Spring is fairly upon us, and we
are breathing in new life and more perfect
health, when marbles and tom-alley are in de
mand, when our sidewalks are clear and wait
ing for the merry trundling hoops, and the old
familiar yet mysterious cry of "An ms" comes
echoing round our street corners: when our
serving maids are letting US into the mysteries
OF Spring fashions, wheI, in short, all nature
is gay and frisky, 1 wish to institute plea for
our poor, wretched, abused, innocent children.
Is there any law, human or divine, prevent
ing the afternoon session of our common
schools closing at four, instead of at five, as do
the Boston schools? Fancy six hours of every
day being packed in Theoretically sealed
school room, with seventy other little sardnes,
hands folded or demureiy crossed lin 'front.' yet
knowing that outside the sun IS shining, the
sweet Spring breezes are blowing, and then like
Glory McQuirck, mot to be in it." am
aware that some parents may object to having
an extra honrs care of their own children
thrust upon them, but that the chief end of the
common school system? Is it intended that
teachers should be nurse-maids?
1t is generally conceded that eight hours Of
sedentary employment is all that man can
regularly perform without endangering his
health, yet our children are called upon to tgive
six hours in school and at least ten hours out of
school to dligent study, and although the va
cations and half holidays afford welcome re-
lief, yet, when we consider that children of
delicate constitutions are obliged to keep up
with the more robust, we must admit that too
much is required of them.
The present generation is rejoicing in m any
Improvements in medicine, nursing, ventila-
ton and methods of living, which their parents
ami grandparents never participated in, and
while the decrease in the death rate is marked,
the increase in brain disease is also marked
owing to the increased.pressure which is put
on by the greater efficiency of the new methods
of teaching.
Will not thoughtful parents join me in call
ing upon our School Committee to consider the
matter? think they appreciate the impor-
lance of it, and will be ready to yield to the de-
mand if public opinion will ask it!
One more hour each day to run, jump and be
happy in! Imagine the joy of the children
and their gratitude to the School Committee
aye and even the schoolmarms would love them
none the less.
For myself as representing many anxious
parents, shall be grateful beyond expression.
