Shall We Have One or Two Sessions

Editor Kenae5ec Journal: There Is q Pc
,ition circulating among the heads Of faml'
lies lust at this juncture. which It would be
vall for them TO cons iier carefully, before
amending their names thereto. The young
Gentleman most active in the move to be
effected bv this petition. with his attractive
manners. and brisk business-like way of put
t;no things will doubtless obtain the
sienatures of many people, who, upon sober
second thought, would decide there might be
arguments against the proposed measure
onite as forcible as those adduced IN favor
of it.
If itwere a question altogether Of what
would be most agreeable to the pupils, II
would put an entirely different face upon the
matter. Given one hundred active merry
hearted school boys, and put the question TO
them. How many hours are you perfectly
willing to devote to study and school work.
probably nnety-eight of them would fix two
bours as the maximum limit-and would
want one or two recesses thrown in.
Education is the chief business of child
hood and youth. Not altogether the educa'
ton derived from books. but anything which
developes all the powers, physical and men.
tai. The hours spent in recreation and
amusement are not wasted. if recreation and
amusement are not allowed to become the
main objects of pursuit.
One of the principal arguments presented
in favor of the one session plan, Is, that the
bows want their afternoons for play.
This is on the principle of doing two days
work in one day, SO as to gain one day Of
leisure The time thus gained is never truly
valuable, as it finds the system too exhausted
to derive any benefit. The wisest physicians
in the land, are beginning to protest against
the rapidly increasing custom, of working a
the utmost tension of ones powers during
nine or ten months of the year, and vainly
expecting total inaction for few weeks Il
undo the mschievous effects upon the system
They contend wisely, that one day, or half &
day, taken from each week for rest and rec
reation, weuld be vastly more beneficial thai
fifty-two DAYS taken cOnsecutively after ter
months of exhaustive labOrs.
1t would be more wearisome to the pupils
to remain in the schoolrOom for five hours il
succession, than it would be to have two
sessions of three hours each, with an inter
mission of two hours. A half hours wall
at a very moderate pace would suffice Il
measure the distance from the High Schoo
house to Hallowell and surely no one Of on
pupils lives outside the city limits. Thi
leaves an hour for dinner and rest.
In point of health, and for the best good o
teachers and scholars, it would be better t
grant an additional half hour at noon, thai
70 submit to the proposed innovation. W.
trust this matter will receive the thoughtful
earnest attention of trustees, parents, teach
ers and upils before any change is made

LoyG BRANCH, Sept. 10.
Vt the morning dressing at $50, the Pres
idents temperature was 95.4, pulse 100, res
piration 20. He was wakeful for two hours,
during which the pulse rose to 40, but with
out the marked elevation of temperature
which has characterized the febrile distur-
bance heretofore. After this he slept until
morning. More nourishment was given during
the night than for several nights past. In re-
viewing the case of the President since his
arrival at Long Branch. it may be stated that
in spite Of various septic accidents which
have for several weeks, and do still compli-
cate his case, he has certainly not retrogaded.
but on the contrary has made some progress
towards convalescence.

The Bluehill copper mines look as
though the owners mean business. The
Douglas mine company owns 100 acres of
land. They have a shaft down about 200
feet. Furnaces and other machinery are
in operation. The ore yields on an aver
age about 8 per cent. of copper. The first
brick Of pure copper from the Douglas
mine was made August 9th, since which
time they have been turning them ont reg
ularly in good numbers. Quite n large
number of men are employed here. mi
ner's cabins are being erected near the
spot. and activity is manifest all about the
region where the ore is found. The Blue
hill mine is not so far advanced rs the
Douglas. but is steadily pushing work.
and putting in frst-class machinery.
These two mines are the most advanced in
operations. but all other mines are prose-
cutting business in hopeful spirit. Blue
hill has started up into lively Place since
mining commenced. and wears an air of
activity and enterprise surprising to
those who knew it rs it was before it be-
came depot for miners and their bust
