"a rather curious arrangement OF the
hair came into vogue in 1880. The hair
was parted in the m iddle, two very short
locks being made 10 curve ont on either
side of the forehead; the two hind plalts
were tnen crossed and brought under the
ears upthe side OF the head In l340 The
two plaits were carried up the sides OF the
face, having between them and the cheeks
a long piece OF straight hair cut squarely
to the length of the plaits. In the frescoes

been divided into two tresses, the skull was

hair, resembling shorthorns, on either side

To Parents of Pupils In the High school.
Teachers are always more or less annoyed
by complaints from two classes of parents.
One class complains that the work in school
is moi done thoroughly and that the pupils
are not compelled to do enough werk while
the other class complains that the excessive
harl work of the High School course is kill.
ing the pupils, and that the health Of large
number is permanently injured by it. To
remove both these evils is evidently beyond
the power Of the teacher, a. he cannot 20 in
two directions at once; but in the great ma.
jority of cases it is in the power of the pa
rents, and Of the parents alone, to do 50. In
most places it is not customary for young
people to come out in society and attend late
evening parties till they have finished their
high school or academic course; while here
in Ottawa the social demand, with its cOnse-
quent strain upon the nervous system, seems
greater upon our high school pupils than
upon those Of more mature years. Not that
all are weakened in mind and body in this
way, but enough are to keep back and hinder
almost every class. | wish to urge upon the
parents that they do what they can to remove
this difficulty; that they see to it that their
children are at home every evening when
there are lessons to be recited the next day;
and that even on Friday and Saturday eve
nings they are not out very late. 1t is said
that good health is worth more than an edu-
cation. True; but in many cases you are
letting them rob themselves of both for lit
tie frivolous party going. If your children
are naturally sickly, let them do light work
and take five years for the High School
course; but # their weakness is caused by
late hours and frivolty, you can keep them
at home. The teachers are doing their best ,
but this matter is one over which they have
n jurisdiction. CHARLES W. TuFrs.
