REGULATIONS AND DISCIPLINE.

9. The discipline Of recitation come s
neat an STANDARDIZATION is the exer-
else OF expression, and, like study.
belongs wholly to the scholar. Study
and recitation are the principal
means OF gaining mental power and
practical ability. Both are indispsns-
able to the end in view, il net equally
important. Recitation has some ir-
cidental advantages of its own.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1881-10-23
RECITATION INDISPENSABLE.

II properly conducted, it induces
study. Few lessons would be learned
in any school if no Rotations we're
required or il it was understood be-
iorehand that the hour of recitation
WAS to be occupied by the teacher in
Lettering or asking questions. Again,
recitation gives distinctness and vivid
MSS to acquired knowledge. No leg
son is fully learned until it is reclGsd
It follows, therefore, that every pupil
must reoite at every recitation or suf
fer loss.

But the teacher must exerciss
special care as to the manner of put-
ting questions. 1st. He should never
ask leading questions, suoh as will
suggest to the scholar the answer. "a
he should always put the question
to the class before he calls up the in.

Even cotton dealers marvel at any
vessel carrying 80 much, and any one
to look at say nine thousand bales as
1t lays in cotton shed would not
believe a vessel would be able to
carry it. The largest load Of cotton
carried by sea going vessels is between
four and five thousand balesfo steam
ships. The sailship Monarch Of the
Sea, four-master, left New Orleans
in December, 1856, with over six
thousand bales, and went over South
west Pass bar drawing 2l4 feet, hauled
out through two feet Of thick mud
by the aid of two Of the most power
erful towboats then in service,
one the six boiler Mary Kingsland, the
wreck Of which now lies above Presi-
dents island, the other, the Conqueror,
nearly as Powerful. After that the
sailing slip Shakespeare caraied out
nearly 5000 bales. These were the
heaviest cotton cargoes ever carried as
| far as known. Steam bottoms are do
ing the chief part of the carrying
trade between America and Europe,
and their lack Of stowage room pro-
vents their taking the quantity 1000
ton ship would be able to stow.
The great Henry Frank left here on

Healthy women.

A writer, in urging the necessity for
more attention to physical culture, notes
as q favorable sign the fact that the pale
and interesting type of female beauty is
fast losing it's popularity, and that men
OF position and influence are declaring
for the healthy standard of womanly
beauty, such as was ever recognized by
Greece and Rome.
This is certainly an important and
happy change in public taste, and al
ready the effects of it are to be de-
tected in an improved condition of
feminine health, for it will hardly be
denied that on an average the women of
to-day are physically superior to what
they were a few years ago, when tight
lacing and similar destroying customs
prevailed.
Young women take more exercise than
they formerly did. They ride and walk
more, and are more In the open air.
They have not the insane dread of the
suns rays which they once had. But
there is much room for improvement
yet. Many homes are still presided
over by invalid wives and mothers, who
furnish constant spectacle of sadness
and misery to their families and friends,
and are a subject of unlimited expense
to their husbands. In such homes the
greatest blessing that could be wished
for would be the health of the mistress
restored, but too often it is the one bless
ing which never comes.
American homes, more than any others,
perhaps, in the world, are saddened by
sickly women. If this shall be so no
longer, it will be a great blessing to the
nation. And the remedy is simple.
American men are as healthy as men of
other nations; there is no good reason
why American women should not be-
All that is needed is proper attention to
dress and exercise.
Let women dress, as men do, so that
their bodies shall not be squeezed and
pressed together, but have free room for
motion, and let them go out into the air
and sunshine as men do, and exercise
their bodies, and the race of American
women will not become extinct, as it is
threatened to do. On the contrary, il
will be improved, built up, and beauti-
fed, and the time will shortly come when
the healthy man will not have to hunt
the country over for healthy wife.
We are on the right track now all
that is needed is to go ahead-and the
result will be manifest. Women will die
to be in fashion; therefore, let the
fashion OF female beauty be vigor and
strength, and all the ladies in the land
will be swinging dumb bells, practicing
archery, riding on horseback, and walk.
