HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS.
The Gymnasium and Military Drill Emit
tied to Recognition by Teachers.

The Gymnasium and Military Drill Emit
tied to Recognition by Teachers.
There is much to be said in favor o.
simple forms of military drill in the
schools. We believe, as teaching o.
method and obedience with exercise
nothing has as yet answered in its place
1t is easily adopted without the aid of E
military man. and adds greatly tt
straightness of form and grace o
movement. In its simplest form it is as
well adapted to girls as boys. Americs
has lost something in the want of this
kind of discipline. Manual labor com
bincd with school instruction has not
made the headway that is desirable. L
is complained that it takes up too muct
time. II so, there is no reason that some
forms of il should not be at the com
mand of students to the degree neces
sary for exercise. A small garden and
a few tools give variety to other eXer.
,isos. and are preferred by such as ob-
ect to formal walks or games We
ahink it highly practicable to introduce
.he manual element first into our nor.
nal schools, with a view of showing
.eachers how much can be accomplished
without elaborate methods.
The gymnasium is fairly entitled to
place in all city schools. II is not need.
ful to have all elaborate appliances of q
technical gymnasium. Ii is more prac-
ticable to have it fitted up for such ex-
ercises as are easily learned without o
teacher. As to anatomy and physiology,
the first attempt was to teach them
much as botony and zoology are taught.
Ii was rightly claimed that they trair
the mind as well as do the other natural
sciences, and that on this basis they
were entitled to a place. Hence SC
early a manual as that of Hitchcock
gives great fullness of detail and treats
considerably OF comparative anatomy
and physiology. Even so good text.
book as that of Huxley is so full of de
tails as to be very good ook for II
medical student We are of those who
believe it not practical to attempt to
teach human anatomy or physiology as
such to any large extent in the schools
They should be taught Just to that ex-
tent which is necdiul to an appreciation
of the facts of hygiene.-N y. hide

IN. Y. sun.l
, James Ricalton, a school -tescher OF
Maplewood, New Jersey, returned recent
ly from a remarkable Journey through the
frozen north OF Europe. He took his ho-
tel with him. He had a portable lodging
house built, which contained a sleeping
apartment and box for blankets and
necessaries. 1t was on three wheels and
was pushed along. It had a rubber avn
ing, which sheltered him In wet weather.
In his baggage was photograph ap-
paratus. Mr.. Ricalton Travelled through
the section lying between Archaugei and
st. Petersburg to obtain material for
magazine articles.
A reporter found Mr.. Rlcalton at his
home in Maplowooi. He is Scotch
American, aud told the reporter that he
he'd Travelled through France, Germany,
Great Britain, Iroiand, Norway, Sweden
and Iceland on a salary OF eight hundred
dollars year. NJ. Ricalton left Maple-
wood on June ~ for Liverpool. He went

two weeks IN the Arctic Ocean.
The American Consul and the Governor
OF tho Custom House a. Archangel warned
him against the wolves and escaped con-
victs from Siberia, but hc travelled with
his peculiar vehicle through eight hun
dred miles OF wild and desolate region,
armed only with spear and revolver
He found the wilderness full OF large
and savage wolves, but was fortunate
enough TO keep clear of them. Frequent
ly, when he awoks in the morning, he
would find his cart surrounded by ma
tives, who stared at him open. mouthei.
Tho peasants he found simple and willing
to assist him. They obeyed his orders as
though ho wore superior being. In the
city the people were different and treated
him with suspicion.
Mr.. Ricalion was frequently compelled
to hire horses to carry his wagon across
the marshes. At one time he was attacked
by arobber armed with a club. 1t was In
the ccntcr OF n dense wilderness, and the
robber laughed when the school, master
put up his spear to defend himself. Mr..
Ricalton dropped the spear and brought
bis revolver into play. He fired once, and,
although the bullet did not hit the robber,
Il frightened him and he disappeared.
Mr.. Ricnlton reached st. Petersburg on
August II, month after leaving Arch
angel. He also visited Norway and Swe-
den He got back on the day his school
reopened ITc SAYS the trip cost him only
two hundred dollars.

that his bride had returned to Portland.
She, against the advice Of friends, did not

blundered over his A-B-Cs. One day Mr..
Prime stood the small 10y Ia the middle

rope hung just there, and the teacher in
fun dropped the moose over the laI' head.
There happened to lie some boys in the
hall above, who pulled the rope, and the
little fellow at once went toward the CELL
ing. The teacier grabbed the rope and
pulled, which made the boys pull all the
harder, an the child was in danger OF
being then and therc hanged. But Mr..
Prime succeeded in extricating him none
