GROWING CHILD NEEDS REST
According to Eminent Authority, Hours
Of Study Should Be Restricted ID
With Much Care. VI

As soon as the child begins to grow
rapidly all intellectual exertion should
be checked. Such is the theory which
DR.. C. MERCER, the famous English au-
thority on children, expresses In an
article in the London Lancet. Espe-
cially when there is any family tend
ency to nervous or mental disorder,
rapidly growing children should be
withdrawn from school altogether I'M
til the period of rapid growth Is over.
Mercier does not think that intellec-
tual work at high pressure is harmful
to either boys or girls as long as food,
sleep and bodily exercise are suffa-
cient; but he is sure that pressure Of
intellectual work In those who are
growing rapidly should never be per-
mitted: and If growth be proceeding
very rapidly all intellectual work
should be put aside. sE
Doctor MERCER insists that 1t Is
scarcely possible to give growing chill
dren too much to eat, and It should

cuts the furrow with the least resist

soil is not nearly SO valuable as that Of
the pillow that runs harder and gives
more resistance to the soil and breaks
it up finer. The plow that has .
harder draft goes through the soil and

should be examined once week. at

to be cleaned at once. Burn the old
contents Of the boxes and put in fresh

eggs, an abundance Of nesting mate

should be so arranged that they can
