(Special to The Post) It is with regret that we think of the defeat of local option in such places as Fenelon Falls, Lindsay and Peterboro, and all on account of the aabominable threefifths. However the high pitch of moral sentiment all over the province may induce Sir J as. Whitney to consider some fairer Legislation. We also wonder Whether all the voters can Soothe their con- science with the though-t: “I have done my best.” Mr. W. E.

Take Time in The Schooling There’s an old saying that “A lit‘ tle learning is a dangerous thing.” and I believe that may be the case under certain conditions. You know, there's too often a tenâ€" dency for parents to think they’ve got the smartest child in the coun- try. so they start him or her in And right here let me say, I wish the law would fix seven years as the minimum age when children could be put in school. The little tive-yeas-old is a bundle of activity, mischief and questions. No wonder the mother is in a hurry to start him to schoolâ€"so as not to be pestered for at least a few hours a day. In the city where kintergar- ten schools exist, the little chap is ’ kept in school only a brief period and the entire session is but a play ‘ spell. But in the country school it is‘ difierent. The teacher can’t spend all i her time amusing the infants, and . . .â€"â€"~.»..â€" They are pushed ahead grade by grade faster than they grow physi- cally, and there soon comes a re- lapse of mental activity. The child gets weary of mind and can ’t study with a relish. The mother insists that the child attend school without missing a dayâ€"0, what crimes against the child body and mind have been committed by that habitâ€" “perfect attendance !"â€"and the mind and body that needs a rest from school is given a start towards ruin. How much better that a child get some considerable amount of deâ€" velopment before being crowded in school to keep up with a grade or . SUTCLIFFE A class. The child starting at nine or ten years soon catches up with the one started at five years. Why ? Be- causethere’s body development back of a strong but unschooled mind and leaps ahead in training because of its backing. It should be remembered ‘ that a child is far better off running wild on the farm from five to eight, or nine years, than cooped up in a school many hours a day. Of course proper opportunities for schooling should be given after the start is made. Because ge is old enough to ride a plough he should not be held back. In that case others soon get ahead, andvhe is ashamed, because of his size, to go to school, and soon loses interest. Watch the children. When mental weariness is manifest take them out of school for a while.â€"Ruth Forest. I Address, American Pia: 408 Queen west, To ix CIRL WANTED-T0 a: I eral housework. Ap] R. M.
