The question of the wisdom of abolishing
the recess, or short intermission, which
serves to break the monotony OF the morn
ing and afternoon sessions of the public
schools, is being discussed by teachers and
others, and in Rochester the experiment is
TO be tried for two weeks. In the place OF
the usual recess five minutes is to be de-
voted in the middle of the morning and
afternoon sessions to marching and calls
thenic exercises in the school-room. The
school superintendent has semitic the teach
ers a list of questions TO be answered con-
corning the effect of the experiment.
-mong other things, the teachers
are asked to report the effect upon
the health Of the pupils as shown
by headaches, lisllessuess and other
symptoms, and upon their lessons. In
form alton is also requested as to whether
under the new plan there is time enough ior
recitation. The attempt to get through
with a certain amount of Rotations ought
not TO be permitted to interfere in the
slightest degree with the health of the pu-
pills. If the experiment is TO be in any sense
a test of how much the childred can bear
without breaking down, it had better be
abandoned at the start. The Important
question is not how TO make The pupils get
through stated set of lessons, but how TO
arrange the lessons and recitations IN such
way as not to impair their health by de-
priving them of the fresh air and natural ex-
ercises needful 10 their ages.-lN. Y. Sun.

Doctors seldom agree on anything, ana II
is not astonishing to find the New YORK
physicians ascertaining widely different
opinions on the effect of becr-drinking A
reporter has just taken the trouble TO inter
view them on this subject. Some of ttem
pronounce beer useful and healthful bey-
erage, having, when taken moderately, a
beneficial effect on the stomach and nervous
system. Five or six glasses day, accord.
ing to the doctors who take this view OF
beer, will injure no one. They do not
believe that the ingredients used in
adulteration are Injurious, and re-
ga;d the cutlery against dangerous
impurities in beer as unfounded. Other
physicians, on the contrary, hold that beer
| is bad for the nervous system and the brain,
and that mall liquors are likely to do more
harm than alcoholic. Beer, these doctors
saw, is adulterated with nux yomica, cocu,
Ius indicus, seeds of paradise, and aloes, all
of which do much harm TO the human sys
tenn. 1t is evident from these varying
opinions that the doctors will never settle
the beer question-and who shall decide
when doctors disagree? The opponent and
the friend of beer can find equal encourage
ment in these professional opinions. The
one will not be tempted to go to beer
drinking, and the other will not be per-
suaded 10 let beer alone.

Rehoarsing the Choral Music-A Refusal
to Rent Part of the Theatre.
One hundred members OF the chorus Oh
the Passion Play rehearsed together yester-
day for the first time, their previous train
ing having been in sections. Mr.. Fred
Lyster presided at the piano. The music
gone over was almost wholly. that of the
first act, the greater part of which is choral,
and, although the rendition was somewhat
imperfect, it enabled tine listener to get at
least hint of the effects the composers
work must produce when perfectly given.
Today, in Difference to the religious charac-
ter of Thanksgiving Day, all work on the
getting up of the Passion Play Will be suss
pended, and the rehearsal of the chorus
will not be resumed until next week. Mr..
Morse has been offered $4,000 for a years
lease of the basement under the auditorium
and stage, which is very large, for saloon
purposes, and has promptly refused it.
The proposed play has aroused great
deal of antagonsm from the theatre mana
gers. John Stetson says: "ltll hoodoo
