The new Department of Public
which takes the place of the old
Board of Education, was organized re.
cently. Several of the Commissioners
- made speecheis at thb opening meeting,
advocating an entire reform of the ri
valling system of management of our
publie schools, .and the bringing of it
-thorosighly into acdordance with the lat
est discoveries in the art of teaching. It
is to be hoped that they may be allowed
to accomplish their desires; and to make
every improvement 'which can be made•
And while they are engaged in their task,
we trust they will not overlook the im
portant matter of the number•, of hours of
attendance and the amount of work re-
•
quired of pupils. -.
A pretty wide-spread conviction has
nmnifested itself lately 'among intelligent
people that too much is usually exacted
'of school children. It is but a few mouths
viuro a number of the parents of pupils at•
tending the - Latin School in Boston united
in a request forshortening the school hours,
'by omitting the customary Saturday's
session 'At Loiiisville, Ky., the question
in reference. to`the public schools of the,
city was lately submitted to-the parents,
null it was decided by a vote of 3910 . to
3797 to substitute for two sessions a day,
amounting to six hours, one s session of
jive hours,' - anil that interrupted by two
recesses of fifteen minutes each. Mr. I
James Parton, in a letter published in
last week's Public Sehool Journal, speaks
• Nvith hitt characteristic energy of what be
calls " the massacre of the innocents " by
overworking their brains. And when, a
n year or, . two ago, we uttered our warn
ing, against the same evil, a flood of let
' ter,,s from anxious parents thanked us for
it, and expressed their hearty approval of
our sentiments.
Asa writer, from whom Mr. Parton
quotes, very justly says,-"the cbief-busi
ness of children is to grow,;" and any, sys
tem of eduation which 'interfere's...with
, tale importa;nt duty is necessarily a bad
one. Everybody knows that excessive
brkily effort stunts the physical growth
of children—sudifor instance, as those
employed in mines and factories; and ex
cessive mental effort is no . less fatal to
healtla -- and perfect develppment. 'lt has
been decided by the best
ties that the limit of mental labor -for an
ordinary adult is live hours a day, and
- that alt beyond this is at the expense of
_ health and strength. How much 'ogre
injurious, thep, must it belt° exact of a
child not five, but six, seven, and eight
hours of hard study dalls !
It is a mistake, too, pto suppose that
anything is really gained in hastening a
child's education by stimulating it to un
, due exertion. Experience has demon
strated that a few hourkof study a day,
•supplenienteci with proper physical exer
cise, result in "more thorough and. perma
nent,nnfolding of the faCulties than many
hours of close, application alone. A child
is really better educated foi not beini
Rushed on too fast. Besides, what is the
use to a man or woman of a mind cram
med with learning and versed in .serene'
and metaphysics, it bodily health be
wanting" A bad 'digestion and a head
never. free from pain will `paralyze the
brightestintellect, and render unavaila
ble all the dear-bought acquisitions of
years. A comparatively limited seduca--
tion, backed by a strong and Vigorous
physical constitution, will accomplish far
more in the battle of life than the great
est acquirements coupled with feebleness
and ill health. The able men and the in
_ iluential women of the day are not those
who have bad the most schooling, but
those whose bodily strength enables them
, to endure the most mental as well as phy
- sicalfatigue.
We are glad to be able to acirnowledge
that our public schools have been greatly
* improved during the past few years in
respect of thiszeatter. The hours of la
bor for the children, both in school and
out of school, have been materially short
ened from those formerly exacted. Let
our uew commissioners take up the work
scud carry it on, until the -rising genera
tion shall be completely exempt from the
, curse which bas hitherto afflicted their
predecessors.
Tug fundamental principles of Phreno
ogy are :
• 1. The braip is the organ of mind.
2. The size of the lirain is measure o
its power. -
3. Eduction develommental power.
4. Temperament modifies the expres•
sion of mental power.
5. The brain consists of a plurality of
organs.
The first and second propositions, are
proved by the sirriOe fact that, through
out all animated natue, mental capacity
—the ability to feel and - think--othereir
custances being equal, corresponds exact
ly with the development of brain sub
stance. -----
Education develops mental power in
precisely the same dense that ezetclse de
velops muscular power; not that brain
and muscle are ncesaarily larger in bulk,
but of-better quality.
That the quality of organization, and
the, predotuiyance of certain structures,
as the brain and nerves, the digestive ap
paratua, and the muscular system (consti
tuting the mental, vital, and motive tem
peraments); modify the, activity and ex
pression of the mental powers, are propo
rations so self-evident that no one quel.
tious them.
'The only controversy, therefore, con
cerns the lastpropsition, and here a sin:
tale glance , at any human being, .or any
animal—anything that has mind—demon
strates its truthfulness. No one can look
in the face of a man, woman, child, horse,/
dog, eat, rat, reptile, or even insect, with.
outreading its character to some extent.
Ho will determine instantly that certain
mental traits are predominant, and in ev
ery case the parts of the brain where
Phrenologists locate the corresponding or
gans, will be found prominently devel
ored.
-Moreover, the doctrine - that different
prlTis of the brain perform_ distinct
functions was taught by Aristotle, more
than three hundred years before the -com
mencenient of the Christian era ; but it
was lefefotGall and his diseiplee to des
rnonstrate the great truth scientifically,
andlo r apply it to the praktical purposes
• . The importance of Phrenology, as an
intelligible basis for mental philosophy,
for the, tsaining of children, the formation
of character, the repression of morbid
propensities, the unfolding' of the higher
qualities, and the regulation of our sys
terns of education and jurbqundence, can
hardly.be overestimated. •

Johnson and L. Lantz, of the Bosni, nK
red
the necessity of bolding:the Institatp,

to strive to make the District Institute so

that the school tax is as small as possible,

-Having read -several communica
tions in your very valuable paper on
the cause zed treatment of gapes in
chickens, I thought I would give in
my experience on that subject. As
long ss we keep the chicks dry, es
pecially their little feet, ire have no
signs of gapes- among them. We
' think chickens ate entitled to good
' health; and it certainty pays to take
good ears of them rgood rood; fresh
water and dry • quarters are their
natural rights. We often see many
broods of little chickens running oat
in miserably bail weather and muddy
yards, and( cannot fait . to 'notice the
great and unnecessary suffering
among them. And the question
arises; "Are we justified In indicting
any snaring On the helpless animals
under our care, or ought we to under
take to raise chickens or other poul
try unless we can make them com
fortable? We do not let our young
chickens out in the morning when
the dew is heavy. We wait till we
think it safe. Have hood of several
persons who have lost about forty
chicks out of sixty from the gapes,
end if we ask if they are well pro- '
tested from the • rain and dew, they
answer, "No indeed, the hens drag
them round ati the time and in all
weather." • •-1
We have what we call "summer
houses and parks" this season for
our poultry. The houses are sbnuit-1
antly roomy, sloping roofs, warier- I
tight r a Wire screen, win iow in each
end of every house. We put all the
clean straw on the board floor; land
when we let out the happy faidies
in the morning, we tam the houses
completely over and give the floor a
good sunning; the houses are semi . -
rate from the floors. We only have
one hen with her chicks inene house.
The houses are set under trees, the
sliding doors open into feed pens-Or ,
parks, made of laths. We feed them
in there, and so prevent the hens
from picking each other's chickens,
and there has not been a sign of
gapes or other trouble among them
so far.
Destructli f e' of Insects.
Germantown Telegrati4. -
About this tithe of the year fruit,
growers are ofttln troubled with cer
tain insects, which are very annoying,
to the neat orchardist. There.is the
slug on the pear tree, the caterpillar
on the apple, and the rose-bug on the
cherry, all of which will skelltOnize
a tree in short order. For years past
there have been published varionsje
ceipts for destroying them. &dead ,
v.ocate liquids or washes, some fire,
and some smoke. But unless 'the
trees are very large, there seems to
' be no way as good as Mad-picking.
The tent-caterpillar, even in large
trees, can be so easily got at by a
pair of pole shews, cutting away the
entire young branch on which the
vermin are feeding, that any one who
wants a cheaper or easier: plan should
beseech Jove to .kill them by light
fling strokes. The rose bug can
readily be shaken from trees. Wheie
they attack trees of even tolerable
size, they can be shaken or jarred
-from the branches, and with a garden
roller crushed on the ground. This
of course has to be dOne early, in
the morning or late in the evening
while they are in a somewhat torpid
condition. On smaller bushes they
can be easily shaken off into pails-or
open vessels of water, and then taken
away and destroyed., For the pear
sing, a small, greenish-black moist
body, there have been many rem.'
mendations. PowJered
not slacked .lime--receives the most
countenance from pfactical inen.
But unless the, trees' are very large,
or the number very great, hand-pick
ing is considered to be the best way
of getting rid of them. , Usually
there are but comparatively few
which do the damage, and a five or
six year old pear tree maybe cleaned
of them in five or.ten minutes. The
leaf is closed over them, and the in
sects crushed between the folds; We
said these things were annoyances to
_orchardists of taste and neatness;
but besides this, the plant suffers ma
terially by the injury to so much
foliage. It not only looks , well to
have healthy foliage, but pays to
preserve it.
Fowls in Orchsrda.
The Poultry World believes that
chickens should have the run of or
chards, and says: "We believe , that
if farmers and fruit raisers knew the
benefits -arising from such manage
ment they would at once adopt it.
Last fall we visited an orchard in
which fowls were kept, the owner of
which told us that before the fowls
were confined in it
'and "only
made
little or no growth, 'and 'only a cor
responding amount of fruit was ob
tained. But a change was evident
now l The grass was kept down, the
weeds - killed, and the trees presented
an appearance of thrift, which .the
most enthusiastic horticulturist could
not help but admire and envy. ,The
growth of the trees was Tiost vigor
ous, and the foliage remarkably lux
uriant. The fruit was abundant, of
- large size, and free from worms and
other imperfections. The excellence
was accounted for by the 'proprietor,
wbo remarked that the hens ate all
the worms and curculios within their
reach, even 'the canker-worm. He
found less trouble with their roosting
in trees than he expected, and that a
Ticket fence six feet high kept them
within bounds, His orchard was di
vided into three sections, and the
fowls were changed froth one to an
other, as the condition of the fowls
or the orchard section seemed ro re
quire."
SHEEP RAISiNG AND MUTTOP4,4to
is claimed that sheep fattened on
turnips and bran make the best mut
ton, and equal to the famous English
article where this food is exclusively
given to sheep fattened for the high
price market. Wehave eaten mutton ,
right here in 'Germantown equal . to
English Southdown, set upon the
table side by side: Indeed the com
mon verdict was. ,that our mutton,
though a little coarser grained, was
sweeter and better flavored.. - In
England the turnip is the great sheep
food, to .whieh the English say it
owes its excellence. And why should
we not adopt it here. There is really.
no branch of farming more profitable
than sheep•raisingi and we have.many
times wondered why it was not.more
generally, pursued. In Eastern Penn
sylvania most' of our farms are too
small for this ptirpose;' but there are
tens St' thousands of acres in the
Noithein, Western and South-west
ern portions peculiarly adapted to
sheep raising.—Gerniantowii Tele

More Cultivation Needed.
rtof,Atwater, Bildattown, Ct,
Looking from a cheinist's stand
point I think farmersldo i not culti
vate their , crops enon;h. Tillage is
Manure, for it .brings4he soil in con-.
tact with the air, and the 'elements
are thus made soluble. If you put
granite into water, - a little. will dis
solve; add carbonic lacid, and more
will dissolve. Now, if we cultivate
often, the soil.is acted upon by the
water, combined with the. carbonic
I acid of the air, and' fertilizing ele
ments are •- released. - The chemist
may analyze the soil' and be able to
fhld elements that the , plant cannot;
in Other words, they *are not avail
able. The soil has beeii\ thought to
be like a cistern, from which'you dip
until it is dry; but it is more like a
'well, into which 'the water is slowly'
running, for the soil is all the time
undergoing changes that increase its
fertility. I have sometimes thought
• that soils were like
,Some men; they
don't seem to amount to much, but.
if you treat them properly, and give
their a chance to_ develop, you will
be surprised to see what they and
- capable of doing.
AgTietiltaral Items.
The Lewistown Gazette says that
every paper in. the united States
Ought: occasionally to' keep the fact
before its reader-that burnt corn is a •
certain and speedy mire, for hog
cholera. The best . way is to make an%
pilt of corn on
_the. cobs; effectually
- scorch it,. and give-, the hogs free ac
cess to it. This - remedy was-discov.
ered,by accident by E. E. Lock, esq.,
at the time his distillery .was
together with alarge lot of stored
corn which was so .much injured as
to be unfit for use; it was hauled out
and greedily eaten by the hogs,
several of which were dyintdailv.
After the second . day not a single
-hog was lost, - and the disease entirely
disappeared. The .remedy bas been
tried since in a number of cases, and
has ne 'Cr failed. • .

IFarming is-not the simple thing it

the manufacturing of chemicals than
