STEALING CHILDREN's BRAINS.
Examples of the Peril of Overtaxing the
Minds of the Youth.

examples of the Peril of OvertaXing the
Minds of the Youth.
An evening paper calls attention to
two distressing cases of oyertasked
brains which deserve the serious con-
sideration of parents and teachers.
One of them is that of young girl
who for three years has been helpless,
bedridden invalid, utterly wrecked in
body and mind, in consequence of a
few weeks unusual effort to excel in
her classes. Her parents were proud
of her success in the large school which
she attended, and to crafty their am
bition as well as her own, she put a
strain upon her mind and body of which
she was hardly conscious, but which,
when the examinations were over, re-
suited ia complete breakdown of all
her powers. The fearful penalty of her
violation of the divine law of mental
and physical health is a shattered in
tellect and life of unremitting bodily
torture.
The other case is that of q bright
young lad who, in order to crafty his
fathers ambition, which had been sadly
disappointed by the boy failure to pass
an examination in single study-that
of Latin-put forth extraordinary exer-
tions to win at the next trial. Having
no special aptitude for the study of lam
guage, he was obliged to acquire his
knowledge ''by main strength, and to
accomplish it was accustomed to leave
his bed as soon as the house was still,
and work at his lessons till nearly dawn.
But this could not last, and presently
there was collapse of the nervous sys-
tenn. 1t is now serious question if the
prolonged rest and outdoor life pre-
scribed for him will restore him to even
tolerable health.
Equally disastrous cases are not I'M
usual. Some years ago we read of an
uncommonly bright girl who learned we
know not how many thousand Bible
verses in a Sunday-school competition
for prize. The verses were learned
and repeated; but the effort left the
chiid's memory q blank. She could re-
member neither verses nor anything
else. We know of a young woman who
graduated with high distinction from a
school of repute, but for two or three
| years thereafter was unable to make the
slightest mental exertion Only by the
most assiduous care was she saved from
serious mental disorder. if not actual
and permanent insanity.
These and similar examples of the
perils of oyertaxing the minds of the
young should lead parents and teachers
to guard more carefully against the
tendency OF ambitious boys and girls to
60 beyond their strength in the effort to
excel. ]. Ezanasne~,

remembering that for all these things
we must give account ct last. If all
