New and Important Move In the Righ
 Direction.

New and Important Move In the Right
 Direction.
 The following statement of President Dwight and, others indicates a new and important movement in the process of fitting boys and girls for college. The arrangement of studies in Miss Gil- bert's school at g Wall street will en- able the pupils who enter at eight years of age to be fitted for the Hlllhouse High school or for Hopkins Grammar school at twelve.
 Many persons who have been giving thought to the question of education are feeling that too long a time Is spent by boys who are preparing for col lege in the primary and grammar grades.
 In our public schools the studies are arranged largely for those who are compelled to leave school at an early age.
 The boys who take a college or high school course are. therefore, obliged to spend q longer time In the lower grades than Is necessary.
 The undersigned. realizing this. are glad to learn that Miss Gilbert has ar ranged course in her school designed to fit boys for the Hopkins Grammar school and the Eillhouse High school without loss of time.
 They commend this plan as one which promises to supply pronounced lack In this community. and they regard Miss Gilbert as well qualified to carry 1t into execution. (Signe6 Timothy Dwight, Francis Wayland, Thomas R. Lounsbury. Isaac Thomas, T. T. Nun ger, Watson L. Phillips, Edwin liar wood.

Where Science ends and Com mon Sense should rule. Persons of sedentary habits are liable to indigestion or dyspepsia. These, in turn, will bring on nervous disorders, kidney complaints, constipation, etc. This is es- pecially the case with merchants, students and scientists. They will give you the exact dimen- sions of Jupiter, the distance from Saturn to the sun, to foot, but they cannot or will not tell themselves what will cure this train of disorders.
 For ailments resulting from se- dentary habits inactivity of the liver, habitual constipation, etc. the entire medical fraternity of Europe and America almost unanimously recommend the gen. uine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt and the Waters of Carlsbad.
