AS matter OF fact, not only IL too
much stress given to the literary and
logical equipment OF teachers, too little
given TO the sociological and psyche
logical equipment, but teachers are
overworked. Our schools are over.
crowded, our teachers o7erburdened
with pupils. Nor is 1t quite certain
that the curriculum is not overburden
cd with studies aud too much mental
activity demanded in too short space
OF time. No provision to speak OF 10
made for lectures and the development
of the moral nature. The schools are
made too much like engines with
which to stuff the mind with a given
amount of information to be commit
ted to memory without regard to Its
ability to digest and assimllate. They
work too much on the principle of
sausage suffer, which must put go
much meat in each skin whether it
bursts the receptacle or not. Indeed,
many q child's mental and physical
health is sacrificed to the grind of the
school mills all because there is no
method by which instruction can bs
suited to the needs and abilities OF the
pupil.

choked by the cough. The same day
I received an order from you Tor bot
tie of your cough remedy. I at once
procured sample bottle, and took
about three doses of the medicine. To
my great relief the cough and cold had
completely disappeared and was able
to preach three times on Easter Day.
/ know that this rapid and effectiv We
cure was due to your Cough Remedy.
