Study hours are too Long,

By some mental process that is bevond
the comprehension of any one who is not a
lunatic the study hours Of children in most
public schools are longer than any mature
mind could endure without harm. Five
hours is the usual daily duration of school
time A man might be equal to this for five
days in seven, but upon the boy or girl is
imposed two or three hours of extra work in
the shape of study at home. 1t is utterly
senseess to claim that any child can endure
sich mental strain for nine months in twelve
without serious mental injury. AS a rule
children do not endure it; they become
irettul, unreasonable and stupid, the ouan-
tlty OF work Expresses them, but the intel
iectual strain is none the less, and the con-
sequence is that the public schools arc an
nually responsible for hundreds of thous-
ands of weakened minds. Many teach.
ers know this and some admit it. but take
refuge IN the question: What can we do
What they can do is to condense their
text books until the amount of essential in.
