The Utility Of School Recesses.

There is a growing tendency to aban-
don the school-recess. The editor of
the Boston Journal Of Education SAYS
of the no-recess experiment, adopted in
Rochester, New York. that it has given
perfect satisfaction" Among the
advantages gained. he mentions, "a
continuous school-session without inter-
ruptions in school work. "better
health of pupils, on account of freedom
from exposure to cold and wet weather
in the midst of each session. discip-
line easier, on account of freedom from
recess-troubles; ..more time for teach
ers,' ETC.; LESS hardness and absen-
tsesm;" and lessfreluent opportunities
for vicious pupils to come in contact
with and corrupt other pupils. Be-
lieving that these reasons are unsatis-
factory, and that the tendency is bad
one. l propose to offer some general
considerations that weigh strongly
against it.
The schools are utilitarian in their
aim; TO fit the child for living success
fully is the object of their existence.
As animal strength is the foundation of
al moral and physical welfare, and is
the chief condition of success in all the
pursuits of life, the future welfare of
the child in every way depends upon
the normal development of his body.
An efieminate man is half sick; and
when it comes to any OF the severer
trials of life, either physical or moral,
where great endurance or courage is
required, the weakest must inevitably
be the first to succumb. This is
as true of moral trials as Of physical,
for moral cowardice often results from
physical feebleneSs 1t is to be doubted
# anything that is taught in the schools
is of so much value to child that it
would not better be foregone than to be
obtained by the loss ofany physical vigor
whatever. Taken in the truest sense,
that city has the best schools where the
school restraints have least effect upon
the physical growth and normal devel-
opment of the pupils, and not the one
where the pupils show the greatest pro-
iiciency in acquiring in nlemoriter
way a few fragments of conventional
facts which happen irrationally to pass
current for an education. But because
in so many of the schools the test to be
applied at the end of the term. or at the
end of the course. is the memoriter one,
and because no teacher expects her
pupils 10 be examined as TO their health.
or US to whether they are forming habits
of life that viii be conducive to health
fitness, il is not TO be wondered at that
all the plans of the teacher look more
TO the development of conventional
proficiency than to the infinitely more
important matter of kealth.--JoSeph

The following resolution was adopted
by the Wisconsin Dairymen's Association
in session on the Goth ult. at Arcadia:
Resolved, That in the judgment of
this association the time has arrived to
establish an agricultural school as pro-
vided for in bill No. 80, assembly, intro
duced by Mr.. Adams, of Dane county.
We believe a more general diffusion of
sound agricultural knowledge can be
secured by the teachings and experiments
of suchsa school than can be obtained in
any other feasible way; and that
agriculture in itIvaried branches being a
leading industry in the state; and it's
taxes more largely raised from the tillers
of the soil than from any other class,
Justice demands that the farmers should
have the benefit of larger portion of a
higher and better education in their
calling, as well as the followers of other
professions, that are so literally fostered
by the state; and therefore we ask for the
passage of said bill.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's cabinet is
recognized as one of ability and composed
of men that ST and high in public esteem,
although in this respect the appointment
of Manning is called into question, this
gentleman being regarded as a represen-
tative of the machine politician, pure
and simple. But the distribution of the
cabinet is sharply criticized in many
quarters. The President has taken his
advisers from the east and south, four of
them being punched together, Endicott,
Manning, Whitney and Bayard. While
New York is given two cabinet min
listers the Great West is represented
by only Mr.. Villas from our GOWN state,
thus ignoring the great extent of country
from the Mississippi River to the Pacific
Ocean.

w. r. Villas, POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

For the third time to " isconsin is
given the postmaster generalshp. Alex
ander w Randall was postmaster general
Howe under President Arthur, and now
William F. Villas under President
Cleveland. Mr.. Villas traces his descent
from Peter Villas, who was born in Eng
land in 1904, married French woman,
and died, in 1856, at Watertown, Mass.
| w. F. Villas was born in Chelsea, Orange
,unty, VT, July 8, 1870 HIS father,
| Judge Levi D. Villas, moved to Wiscon-
sin in 1851. He was prominent lawyer
He died ia 1879, and transmitted to his
son, besides a fortune oil at least 800, 900,
| the judicial faculty, the gift of oratorv,
and the sterling traits of character which
usually descend from such an ancestor.
Young Villas was graduated from the
Wisconsin State university in 1859, when
only Is years of age. He spent two years
at the Albany Law school, aDd entered
upon the practice of law at Madison
TIE war came on. Young Villas laid
d pwn his law books, and in 1862 recruited
Company A, Twenty-thlrd Wisconsin
regiment, and in August of that year
was elected captain. His record as
soldier was gallant and honorable. He
participated in many close engagements,
and was one of the prominent officers in
the attack upon Vicksburg. He COM
mended himself during that campaign to
the special notice of Gen. Grant, who has
always been his friend.
Returning from the Vicksburg CAM
n fho ~
Law at Madison in the autumn of 1863,
and from that time until now has con-
tinued in the active and successful work
of his profession. He has never held an
elective Office until be was chosen to the
Position which he now occupies, that of
member from Madison to the lower
house of the Wisconsin legislature. He
has been successful as lawyer, and has
increased, according to rumor, the hand
some patrimony left him by his father by
more than three-fold.
Col. Villas is a professor in the Law
school of the State university. He was a
delegate from Wisconsin to the Demo
cratic National convention in Chicago,
and was elected president of the conven-
ton. The skill and energy which he
commended him to that BODY" and espe.
cially attracted the attention of Grover
CleYeland. Col Villas has gained bis
greatest national reputation as an orator.
The speech which attracted most a.ten-
ton was mis- eulogy of Gen. Grant az a
soldier, which was delivered at the din
ner in Chicago on Grants return from
his journey around the world. Gen.
Grant describes his speech as one of the
most eloquent he ever heard
Col. Villas has been very happy in his
domestic relations In 1866 he married
hiss Anna Matilda, daughter of VIM
H. Fox, of Oregon village, Wis one of
the pioneer physicians of that country
and a man of wealth. Four children
have been born to him, three of whom
are living, the eldest daughter of Is.
Mrs. Villas is lady Of most excellent
education. and of charming manners.
Their home on Mendoza ridge, in Madi
son, is noted for its hospitality.

REGARDING Daniel Manning, who is
Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. George
w. Cothran, formerly of Buffalo and
now of Chicago, and who is intimately
acquainted with both President Cleveland
and Mr. Manning, in an interview with
newspaper man, said this:
| will tell you one thing, and you may
print it in long primer if you choose: the
great intellect in the cabinet will be Dan
Manning, He will be the peer of all
the other members of the cabinet, though
he is probably less known to the general
public than any OF them. There are
some who regard Mr.. Manning as being
only politician. Well, he is the
shrewdest of the shrewd politicians, but
he dislikes to be considered such. He is
a great business man.

I must leave you, for how long know
