The name OF d. @. Morrow, ESQ, ofthis
city, will be placed before the Encamp-
ment OF the Ohio Division of the Sons of
veterans, which meets at Mansfield next

ability to fill the Office properly, and his

ans at heart, and never misses an oppor.
tunity to advance the cause in eyerv nos.
sible honest way. In fact he Is an en-.
thusiast on the subject, and his promi.
nence in other positions of honor and
trust gives him an advantage over ALI
other candidates for the position. His
candidacy is the result of the efforts of
his friends in the order, who have learn
ed OF his fitness and ability and have
urged him to make the race. All the
camps in Highland and adjoining coun-
ties are solid for him, and the Encamp-

Immediately recognized by his election as
its Captain. For two years he held the
Office of Judge Advocate. General of the
Ohio Division, and his connection with
this Office introduced him to the order all

almost unanimous support of the press of
this section, such papers as the Chilli.
cotbe Leader, Portsmouth Blade, Athens

New Era and scores of others of like
standing. 1t Is our belief that Mr.. Nor

confer an honor upon the Division as
we'll as promote its future welfare in the
State.

Our Public Schools Again.

In an article upon this subject in the
NEws.HERALD Of last week I spoke en-
phatically upon the question of too much
study in our course, and urged that our
children should have less school and
more air and sunshine.
An old and very intelligent practitioner
OF medicine in our community has since
called my attention to the great number
Of children of both sexes who are suffer.

or short.sightedness," which he says is
the result Of the "cramming" process to
which our pupils are subjected in order
to fulfill the requirements of our curric.
ulum.
Others have spoken of the same thing
and called attention to the great number
OF young folks wearing spectacles upon
the streets.
The matter has been under discussion
in other places and physicians are giving
the alarm, and not only are the eyes
threatened by too close confinement and
too severe study, but other organs are
imperiled. Boys and girls from twelve
to fifteen years Of age are by nature
subjected to conditions which tell greatly
upon their health and usefulness in
after life. Their entire constitutions are
then changing, and the effect upon their
systems amounts to almost complete
revolution. Especially is the whole nerv.
GUS system put upon strain and too
much attention cannot be given to their
physical health during that period.
What 80 beneficial to them can be
offered as pure air and moderate exer-

l know that many parents would OBJ.
ject to shorter sessions during the day; !;
they "want the children out OF the way"
but such an argument should not be
considered. If they insist on their chill
dren being kept all day long in the
school.room they will have good pros
pect of having them "out of the way" in
the future in blind asylum, hospital
for the insane or graveyard. No, I
say give them fewer hours in school,
longer recesses, begin later, close earlier,
take them out on long rambles, let them
expand their lungs, stretch their legs,
develop their muscles and then when
they return to their books their brains
will take hold Of and assimilate what is
set before them just as their stomachs
will take hold of and assimilate their
food when they go home. "a sound
mind in sound body" should be the
motto of all having charge of our educa-
tional interests. The former cannot
exist without the latter, and while from
many weak and pain.tortured body
many brilliant thought has gone forth,
still had the brain that conceived the
thought been built from rich blood and
embarrassed by sympathy with racked
nerve and enfeebled muscle, its work
would doubtless have been far more
efficient and permanent in its results.

"Cramming."

issue from the pen of DR.. Fullerton it
will be seen that the Doctor touches
upon the "cramming" process as it is
now conducted in our schools. In
former article to the Board OF Education
we said that too much was tried to be
taught in our public schools. One OF
the teachers OF our public schools since
that time informed us that the over
study, or work or "cramming," as DIR.
Fullerton has it, was done in the lower
rooms. We know that it is being done
from cellar to garret, and we think that
DR.. Fullerton is OF the same opinion.
But If the Doctor is of our opinion We
feel that we are being indorsed too much
in some directions. A communication
in last weeks issue endorsing our views
on special writing teacher was more
than we bargained for. The position
taken by the NH. was not against
special teacher in penmanship or in
music, but against an increase OF the tax
levy, which levy has been increased one
mill. A mere reference to salaries paid to
teachers in music and penmanship was
made for illustration. Now in regard to
the work of the special teacher in writ.
ing. Penmanship constitutes not more
than one.half of the work. Drawing of
all kinds of figures are also taught, which
is OF much value to the pupil. But to
return to the Doctors "cramming" and
interchangeable of.study plan. We
must confess that with the present cur
riculum and with the systemizing of the
different parts that must be accomplished
in years study we are unable to see
just how it will be done. And If much
of the opinion of medical men is right
land which has been referred to by DIR.
Fullerton in one instance here at home)
the position at first taken by this paper
that things were being orerdone in an
educational way is not likely to receive
much severe criticism in the future. 1t
is not the object to insist on lowering
OF the salaries at every corner, nor do
we say lower the standard OF the course
of study in every particular, but the
practice of keeping up class in the
study of Greek (Which to say the best of
it is only a mind or memory strength
ener), while the study of book. keeping,
which is both practical and profitable, is
ignored, is feature that our board may
proftably consider. A number OF the
young people OF this place have gone to
other schools to study bookkeeping,
which could and should be taught here
at home. The opinion might be given
as between the two studies of Greek or
bookkeeping let Greek alone; yes, even
geology, for children OF fourteen or
fifteen years of age might be relegated to
the shade or studied when the the out
door curriculum is adopted. The plac-
ing the responsibility of the long hours
OF study, which is the custom in our
schools, on the parents instead OF on the
management is doubtful position, in
the face of the fact that while the chill
dren are under the parental roof nearly
all OF their working hours are spent
pouring over their studies. There is
crying need for some adjustment OF
some things by somebody who is in a
position to do something.
