We all know how much greater is
the need of children for sleep than of
grown persons, and how necessary for
their good it is to be able fully to sat-
isfy this need; but how great it is gem

amount varies under different climatic
conditions. In Sweden, we consider q

through the whole school. Boys in the
higher classes get little more than seven
hours in bed; and as that is the aver
age, it is easy to perceive that many of
them must content themselves with
still less sleep. 1t is also evident from
the Investigations that the sleeping
time is diminished with the increase of
the working hours from class to class.

their classes. 1t thus appears con-

longer hours OF work, the sleeping time
Of the pupils is correspondingly shorter.

at the cost of the time for sleep.-Pyo-

about the Queen of Sheba. Neverthe-

One OF its members thinks that he has
discovered that Sheba was in Arabia,
and that the Queen was the mother Of

In Ethiopia. She went to Jersalem on
conquest bent, and would have liked to
stay there. But the wise Hebrew
thought she would be hard to manage,

with presents and filed with ambitious
