LATE VS.. EARLY DINNERS.
One of the popular errors in this coun-

One of the popular errors in this
try is that which regards eating hearth J
in the evening as detrimental to heath.
Almost any one can find i score OF per-
sons among his acquaintance who have
dinner at two or three o'clock in the af-
tel noon because they are unwilling later
in the day to trust their stomachs with
anything more solid than tea and toast.
Ii they go abroad, they look upon the
eating on board the steamer of Welsh
rarebits and the like at ten or eleven
o'clock in the evening with as much hor-
ror as they would regard an excessive
use OF liquor. But when once fairly
brought in contact with foreign dinners,
say English dinners at eight and Ger
man dinners at ten p. 10 they usually
fall back on the superstition that the
usages OF several generations have fitted
them Tor the excessive strain. One very
worthy American lady dismissed a ma
tive doctor in Paris as confessedly in
competent because he recommended for
some dYspeptic trouble that she should
eat a hearty meal some two hours before
going to bed. Fortunately his successor
took the same stand and. though she
considered the method of treatment as
wholly wrong, she was persuaded to
follow it, and what Is more, vas cured
in spite OF herself. If our physicians
would make this matter OF diet more of
a study it would fully repay them. 1t
cannot be that we are differently organ
| lied from brethren across the water,
and hence what long experience has
shown to be healthful for them cannot
prove otherwise tor us, The strain
which our American habits OF eating put
upon the physical system is that it
crowds the two really lie giving meals
of the day, breakfast and dinner, c'ose
together, and then leaves the body to
fast Tor sixteen hours out of t%wenty-iour

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Boston school authorities have quite
revolutiomzed theo old system of teach
ing in the public schools, as the follow
ing description indicates. To show what !
a departure it is from the beaten paths
OF the past. we present the main feature
OF this new course OF studies. In the
primary schools the instruction is to be
almost entirely oral. Scholars are to
learn from objects, and from the teach
er instead of from the book. Oral les
sons will be given upon pictures, plants,
animals or whatever the ingenuity OF
the teacher may suggest, or order, to
accustom the scholars to express what
they know in words. This exercise will
be called ''Language." Other oral in
struction will be given upon form, color,
measures, ANIMALS grouped by habits,
traits or structure, vegetables, minerals,
the human body and hygiene. Fables,
anecdotes and simple poetry will receive
proper attention. The metric system
will be taught from the metric apparat-
US. Heretofore much time has been
given to spelling, and many hours spent
over the primary speller; that book is
to be entirely discarded, and some ''easy,
common words from the reading les
sons" substituted in its place. Two new
studies are introduced called .'Recrea-
ton" and miscellaneous" to which an
hour and a halt a week is to be given.
Whether this means work or play,
teachers and scholars are yet to learn.
In the grammar grade some equally
important changes are indicated. Gram
mar Is abe ished, at least In name. How
the eyes of the boys will giisten when
they learn this fact. ''Language' takes
the place of grammar, which means less
OF teaching a grammar, such as parsing,
ETC.. and more attention gwen 10 COM
position. structure of sentences, use OF
capitals, letter writing and analysis.
Spelling is to be from the reader and
other text books. The amount OF writ
ing in c~opy-books is reduced more than
one-hali, and more writing in blank
books and in OF err exercises required.
The great amount OF time previously
devoted to geography is reduced, and
natural philosophy and physiology are
taken up in the third class. Music and
drawing receive the same attention as
during the previous years. The most
important here. as in the primary grade.
Is in reference to oral instruction. 1t is
not to be, us in the old programme,
merely mentioned ana rarely attended
10 by the teacher for want of time, but
a specific length OF time per week is to
be allotted to it. as well as to arithmetic
or reading. In the two lowest classes
the instructions will be almost entirely
oral. In the fourth class it will be
largely so, and in the other classes from
one to two hours per week will be given
to this exercise. In the lower classes
the subjects for oral instruction will be-
natural history, plants IRON May to No
! vember, animals from November to
May. trades, occupations, common pho
nomena, stories, anecdotes, mythology,
metals and minerals. In the upper
classes, physiology, life in the middle
ages, biographical and historical sketch
es and experiments in physics. Every
study has its specified time assigned
to IL.
