From the Commercial, Hattoon, 11U Mrs. Christiana Foster is a matron of Mat toon, who has recently been restored to the ranks of health aller many years of Buffer ing. She gave her statement tn a reporter in such concise shape that we print it : "My name is Cliristiana"Fostcrt I ntn fifty years of age and a housekeeper. I liavo lived in Illinois ever since I was twelve years old. During the latter years of my life I havo bceu much afflicted with ttonincli trouble, blood disorders and nervousness, and these were greatly aggravated about two years ago, when I became subject to most disagrceablo hot flashes, (or perhaps I should say 'flushes).' " I seemed to bo losing ground all the time. I eould not sleep bnt for a short time, not being able to obtain any appropriate rest, and I may say I was truly wretched. "About one year ago, after reading an ad vertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I determined to get some of them, ami urn so, Deginning to taKe them strictly according to directions. I had not taken half a box before I experienced relief, and before I had taken four boxes, I was. I may say, well. Of course I am growing old, from a few days' visit with his nunt In Ransom.

Rice, who for many years has devoted himself to the study of American educational problems, has contributed to a recent number of the Forum an article on tho system of Instruction followed In most of our primary schcols. He Is of the opinion that the system might be materially broadened and enriched by applying a process of judicious exclusion to the existing curriculum. He would strike out, for Instance, matters belonging to th category of mental gymnastics, ln trcduced into the school course solely with a view to the development of the faculties; and, secondly, matters of de tail that the ordinary layman Is not expected to possess In the form of ready knowledge, and which are found In the school course simply because they havo been handd down by tradi tion. Is too much tlmo expended In tho primary schools on the three R's? Tho proportion ot school time at present given to theso fundamental studies is, It seems, about 70 per cent. Dr. Rico thinks It would le possible to reduco this time by nt least one-half. Could this be done, of conrr-e, tho possibilities of enriching the course of study would Ih almost unlimited; It would be pos sible even for Etudents In primary schools to take up subjects calculated to develop aesthetic tastes as well as an Interest In nature and mankind. An attempt Is ninde to indicate the divid ing line between positive knowledge aud indispensable skill on the ono hand, nnd mero mental gympustlcs on tho other, by the following Illustra tion; In an enlightened community, every adult individual is expected to bo able to write a letter In well-construet-cd sentences and without grammatical errors. It is a matter of comparative indirference, however, to the communi ty whether or not the writer is ablo to unalyzo with facility, are ablo to con struct better sentences than those who are unfamiliar with technical gram mar, this subject might bs rightly placed among the essentials of school study. If, on the othetr hand, It'should bo proved tha't th'e English employed by tboso who havo not studied tech nical grammar Is practically as good as that employed by those who have had a thorough grounding hi the sub Flashes. but that did not aceount for ihf bad condl. Hon I was iu, my blood did not circulate, and if I pricked my linger while sewlne, no blood followed the puncture. All this Is dlflerent now, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink tsiffnetU"' " Mrs. CitmsTiAKA Foster." ITifnfM.'.Mns. Ed. IIgark. The proprietors or Dr. Williams' Pink Pills state that they are not a patent medicino but a prescription used for many years by an em inent practitioner who produced the most wonderful results with them, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful rnues of almost every ill to which flesh is heir. The pills are nlso a specific for tho troubles peculiar to females, such ss suppres sions, all forms of weakness, chronlo constipa tion, bearing down pains, etc., aud In the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a.per mancnt cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. They are entirely harmless and can lie given to weak and sickly children with the greatest good and without the slightest danger, l'jnk PiHs are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents n box, or six boxes for $2.50 thev nr ni-vrrsold in bulk or by the 100) by ad dressing Dr. Williams' Medicino Company, Schenectady, N. Y. ject, then it could not bo regarded as essential, but would belong to the do main of mental gymnastics. In the latter case the question of introducing technical grammar Into an elementary school coursyj would bo purely and simply a problem ot relative values, 1. e a question as to whether It would pay best to devote some thlrty-flvo minutes dally for four or five years to grammar, or whether more profit would be derived by giving this tlmo to matters of importance and Interest that re now crowded out. As in language, so in. arithmetic, the question of mental gymnastics plays a conspicuous part. Facility In cipher ing, up to a certain point, is demanded of every Individual; but whatever is done In this branch beyond what Is di rectly u&eful, such a& drill In arith metical puzzies, must be regarded as disciplinary In its nature. The Im portance of such questions of relative values becomes obvious when we con sider that thlrty-flvo minutes a day Is equivalent to an entire year out ot the eight years devoted to elementary edu cation!. Dr. Rice estimates that by the exclusion ot merely a part ot the dis ciplinary studies, such as advanced arithmetic, superfine penmanship, tho inordinate attention paid to parsing and analysis, and the practice of read ing aloud simply with a view to or.i totical power, it might be possible to save as much as the equivalent of two school years. The subjects which, of all, in his judgment, should lo subject ed to th'e most rigorous test of exclu sion, aro spelling and penmanship. He holds that every moment devoted to these subjects beyond what Is actually needed, should be looked upon as wast ed. At present nearly one-fifth ot tin available tlmo Is hi some schools as signed to these two subjects, notwith standing their lack of educational value. In determining the ground that should bo covered in spelling, Dr. Rltv deems It needful simply to secure an agreement as to where a line may be drawn between words that tho average Sndhidualoughttobeable to spell with out referring to a dictionary, and those that might be safely relegated to tilt latter. In penmanship It would mere ly be necessary to define what stand ards of legibility should bo deemed sat isfactory; tho over-attention to pen manship for the purpose of securing an elegant chlrography means the waste of an enormous amount of time. So, too, In arithmetic; it would be well to make a careful distinction between those features with which everybody ought to be conversant, and the meth ods of conducting the more compli cated calculations belonging to special lines of business, which need to lx mastered only by a specialist. We pass to what Dr. Rice has to say concerning the studies of geography and history In our elementary schools. He believes that a large elimination of the cut-and-dried facts which properly belong to books of reference Is here In dispensable. Especially does he con demn that phase of geography, as tra ditionally tausht, wh'ich treats of the location of cities and towns, the boun daries of states and countries, the length of rivers, nnd the height of mountains. It Is not denied that tho number of geographical farts which an Individual Is required to know In order that ho may take an Intelligent Inter est In the affairs of the world, is con siderable, yet It is very small when compared with the number which a child Is compelled to memorize under the ordinary system of Instruction. In deed, Dr. Rice deems it no exaggera tion to say that the traditional course In topographical geography might bo shortened by 70 or SO per cent, without neglecting what Is useful. There Is at present a similar waste In the mechan le"U study of hlstoiy. As In geogra phy, so here would tho preparation of a list of facts, limited to what 13 help ful and to what an ndult individual might be reasonably expected to pos sess In the form of ready knowledge, bring about un enormous curtailment of the work Imposed upon tho memory. Just what tho historical facts are that every educated person Is expected to' know has never been determined; but It might be. Nor Is there nny doubt that by a wlso substitution of histori cal Ideas for cut-and-dried facts of minor Importance, history might ha convertc-d from a mechanical study in to a most valuable and Interesting one. How aro theso changes to be made? Who Is to decldo where and how far the prpcess of exclusion may be ap plied to the existing curriculum? In Dr. Rice's opinion the moat rational mode ot bringing about a desirable Impjovement would bo to place tho matter in the hands of the committees to be appointed, as he would suggest, by the National Educational associa tion. He thinks that, If a committee of somo ten members should bo deslg- LA DOES DO YOU KK0 DR.
