the mental and physical labors imposed

parents did In their school days. all the
advances in science made since then,
and many subjects which were thought
unnecessary in former days. Yet the
school age has not been lensthened, nor
the number Of school hours increased.

the leaders at their age. who are al
ready forced to extraordinary mental
and physical exertion. From one-half
to two-thirds OF the child's waking
hours are taken UP with school work.
This leaves insufficient time for recrea-

days are as injurious to the body as
excessive studies are to the mind.
THE country-bred youth Is neither
mentally nor physically the equal Of the
oty-bred youth. who has been trained
to the limit Of his mental and physical
capacity. He Is not at his best until
several years later than the city man.
but from that time on he overhauls his
city brother because he has developed
slowly. lives slowly and ages slowly.

fore he becomes old. The man from
