A Warning to Parents.

To the Editor OF the EVENING STAR;
In publishing the following you will confer q
great benent on parents whose children are at
tending the public schools It Will serve to put
them on guard, so that they will notice the early
symptoms Of that dreadful malady known as
ST. Vtus dance, and which In most cases is caused
by the severe mental strain children are subjected
to by the system Of examining practiced In our
public schools:
A bright little girl 10 years old, was anxious to
learn, and taxing her little head to the utmost TO
commit to memory the long list Of hard words in
her daily lesson, commenced to fail more and
| more frequently in her lessons, which caused so
much distress to this sensitive little plant. The
Child often came home crying bitterly: no one was
able to com ort her or obli,erate from her mind
the teacher's reprimand She grew more and
more excited, untn at last the child had to be
kept away from school, and Is in a most pitt
full con tion. She has almost lost the free use of
only able to artIculate or utter the most heart
rending cries, rolling on the floor in agony. And
this continues at intervals throughout the day
and more 80 at night It Is not easy to witness
the distress OF that family, who have their daily
work TO DC and are deprived OF that much needed
Parents be watchful OF your children: do not
take lightly, or what Is worse, make run of any
eccentric motions you may notice on your chill
dren, Tor these are the first symptoms OF 81. Vttus

and white fine clay. At the entrance of this
