which, although not publicly spoken of,
is loudly called fer in the interest both
of the parents and children. I allude to
the long vacations given in ow- country
schools. There is scarcely an individual
with whom you speak on the subject- ef
oducatiou but is opposed to having our
school's closed. from four to six weeke, in
the year. I say nothing of the propriety
of the measure in cities and large towi
but in the country it is decidedly injuri-
ous the progress of the children who
return to the school after such a lengthy
spell, with minds unprepased to bow to
study and discipline. 1 -am aware that
the reason given by the friends of the
measure is, that it is necessary toe have
such vacations in order to invigorate
both. the teachers aud pupils after a
lengthy application to study. But this
is a fallacy, for neither the teacher (be he
ever 80 attentive) nor the children can
possibly be much fatigued. from study
during the ' short term of thirty hours
a week (less recesses, which in smile
schoOls are pretty. lengthy.) Storekeep-
ers and. Mechanics are confined ratieh
longer haute, and many of them m places
not nearly as well ventilated. as are the
generality of our schoolhouses, and yet
no peons thinks of the necessity of such
long .vacations for tlhern, as they well
know that if their !pines of business
were closed for half the tinie our school-
houses are closed, ;the business itself -
would suffer., Time' was when. teachers
