We're not feeling in the best of moods.
The markets of the large cities know
no seasons. Fruits, vegetables and flow

A committee fifteen leading Chicago
men and women, appointed to investigate
the studies in the schools of that city
decided that the children are overtaxed
by having too many studies, and that
they also come out of the graded schools
with an inadequate knowledge of English
and other practical branches. Both evils
are due to the fact that the prescribed
course is too extensive. Not only are
there too many subjects, but the aggre
gate amount of work eXacted is too

compIish the prescribed tasks without
overwork and serious menace to the
health of the average child

but there is nothing said about the mud
or qua gnlireS to be found everywhere.
The soldiers do not coincide with this
opinion by the learned man; for it is re-
lated that one of the F'ifty-f1rst boys, who
was foundering through it with his com
pany found a stinkhole in which he sank
up to the armpits. He remarked, as he
extended his hands for assistance; Boys,
