With the aiinu.il opining of the schools comes the cry for imro until. 11 irely do cities make adequate provision lor increased attendance. Various expedients are re- soried to in the matter of temporary accom modations , which are frequently more in jurious than lielplul to pupils. Te.ichor.s. too , are put under pivsiuro an 1 must make a showing in results , rog.ir.lloas of a.lvora. * . conditions , on p.nn of dismlsjal. The sys tem of educational cramming and the desire of parents lo show the mental qualities of their children do not produce the best re sults. On Hie contrary they tend to sacrl- lice the phvsIcaSfor the mental development of children. On this important fc.ituro of school life tlie Philadelphia Times says : "The caution most needed by ambitious parents and enthusiastic teachers is not to lot-trot that tlie health and development of growing children require plenty of time for play and exercuu in school days as well as in vacation seasons. Study and recitations there must be f6r the intellectual develop ment nf the chilD nature and the accumula tion of the knowledge that will bo required in later years. Hut no svstcm of education is sound In theory or wise in practice that tloos not recoi-'iii/.o the importance of sym metrical bodily , development. This cannot bo secured if too many hours are devoted to cramming the memory with facts to be mechanically recited in the conllncmeiil of the school room. "The natural atmosphere of Iho growing child is one of ijlay and vigorous physical activity. To one who is in hearty sympathy with the buoyant n.iluro uf children it is lathetic to witness the groups of little ones ' tilling on the dour steps of our city homes 'n the pleasant autumn evenings crammmc their nienivries with lessons to IHJ retitcd mi the morrow Instead of giVing expression to their natural instincts in a good old-fash ioned ronin. In too many cases the over crammed children cai'ry their lessons to ben with them to disturb their dreams , and it is no uncommon thing lo overhear llie pupils con mil' . ' their books or repeating their lessons In the street.cars while on their way to scboo : in the morning. Rccognillon has been given of this ten dency to overdo the conllnemont of children in study by the public school authorities of this city in the practice recently inaugurated of holding bill ono school session per day for Iho llrst half nionlh or month of the fall term , thus making tlio transformation from summer play to school conllncment gradual instead of sudden. The period of smglo ses sions might be extended withoul harm to the intellectual development of the pupils. In Ibis direction , too , a clear gain might be made by a curriculum composed of fewer studies. L-ixiiy in this direction is hardly likely to go lee far. Hardly a day passes that some human wreck is not borne to hos pital or grave as the result of too much school conllnemont in childhood. If the world Isn't growing wise enough lo rccotrni/o and correct this evil , it is lime some of our adull educators were educated over again. Fine boating , C'ourtlaml bench.
