The writer in the .louriml of Edu cation contends that children arc usually sent to school at too early an age. "Llttlo children four or flvo years old should be out of doors nearly all their waking hours, developing Htrong bodies, sturdy constitutions, and incidentally brain power, so when they cuter the-schoolroom they will have, gained power to learn easily, which is reached only after the ehlid lias arrived at a certain stage of its development." lurliidi'tl ii Vimt Territory, Gov.

Rritons are now beginning, though reluctantly, to re alize that Lord Roberts !s in for a winter campaign, lasting several months. This is the end, in a few words, of the high hopes based upon Lord Roberts' brilliant dash to lum ber Icy and Rlocinfoutein. Preparations are being made to hold Rlocinfoutein against surprises. Lord Kitchener lias been given an impor tant duty, being responsible for the protection of the. railway, while Lord Roberts is waiting for remounts and winter clothing for the troops whose thin cotton khaki uniforms and boots are worn out. What the chances are of an advance to Pretoria may be judged from the fact that, only from 0,000 to 10,000 horses are on their way to the Cape, and from the further fact that the military tuiloring departments only within the last, threu weeks bcfjan making woolen khaki uniforms. It is said it will take at least, two months to provide 200,000 uniforms. GEN. FUNSTON AGAIN.
