down upon Greeley and vicinity early
yesterday afternoon and destroyed
many thousands OF dollars worth Of
property, besides doing large amount
Of damage In breaking window lights

fruit and small grain cannot now be
estimated, but Is very heavy.
One man had sevcnty-five acres Of
wheat absolutely wiped or the earth,
and another had n thousand dollar
patch OF Strawberries destroyed.
The storm was peculiar one and
had several paths OF destruction.
Those farmers who were fortunate
enough TO be between the paths Of tho
storm escaped damage.
The damage TO potatoes was espc-
cially severe, In many cases the pota-
toes being literally washed out OF the
ground and the fields flooded SO badly
as to almost entirely destroy the crop.
Wheat has also suffered heavy dam.

TRAINING THE CHILDREN.

by Doctsrs and scIsntists.

EoreinE the Chiid Too Young Dsorisd
by Doctsrs and Scientists.
Children of this generation. says an
educational observer OF things. are
educated In n manner as different from
that pursued by the previous genera
tion as hippopotamus differs from .
flea. With our fathers the earlier a
child was taught his or, her letters the
better 1t was considered to be for his
or her mind. Children were taught to
read as young as possible and pushed
in their studies as rapidly as might
be thereafter. Lately, however, the
medical fraternity, and scientists have
advanced the theory that this system
was bad in the end for the develop
ment Of the mind and (within certain
limits) and the later child was taught
Its letters and to read and write the
better. There would seem to be some
thing in the theory, when you take
into consideration that of all the ami
NAL kingdom man is the slowest of de-
velopment and requires longest the
fostering care Of its parents. A child
OF cast out upon the world to fend
for itself would most probably fare but
Ill. And, from immature years. but lit
tie muscular exercise should be re-
quired. else stunted growth inevitably
results. II too early work stunts the
growth Of an infants body, by analogy
1t seems not improbable that a like
effect may follow too early working
OF the infants mind. Certainly his
tory shows that some OF our brainiest
men have developed late in childhood,
and have In mind certain statesman
OF worldwide reputation, who. up to
the age OF 8, was looked on by his fam
lily as hopeless dullard and an i'm
possibility mentally. On the other
hand. the kindergarten and primary
school had one great recommendation
that this generation OF mammas wero
loath to give up, and that was that for
certain number of hours day 1t re-
lieved them from the care OF their
young. blessing not likely to be
thrown aside. Besides, It was felt
that while too much education for the
infant was bad, none at all was bad
also Under the conditions a COM
promise system has grown up. Chill
dren receive what might be termed an
objective education. They are taught
what things are by handling and OBJ
serving the thing. They are taught car
pentry and manual arts and similar
things. but Of books nothing. save
what their elders may tell them. As
Tar as It has gone. the system seems
TO have worked famously.-utica
