EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Dr. Clinton Cusbing recently lectured at San Francisco on the education of women. Among other things he said that the schools of the country are- to be blamed for the ill-health of many women. Children should not be restrained; their animal spirits should have full 1 vent. Girls aro naturally more studious than boys; they attend more closely to their books! A girl will do more to please a teacher or a parent than a Boy. Up' to the age of 12, boys and girls are remarkably alike. About this time there- is a change. The nervous organisation of the girl then begins to assert itself. Nothing should be done to check its development From about the age of 10 or 12, for the next seven years, the change from girlhood to womanhood occurs. In this period schoolboolcs and cares should not crush the health of the girl. She should not bo allowed to attend school more than six months in the year. In the other six months she should have plenty of sunshine and outdoor life and be instructed in the important mysteries of bread-making and housekeeping. The struggles of the systems of examination and promotion should be discountenanced.
