view will reveal little of the reality of
that life, if it does not prove utterly
misleading. The fact is, the transfor

fowls are kept for eggs it is essential to

eggs be relied on. The only exception
to this rule is in the case of Cochins,
Brahmas or Hamburgs, which will lay

sometimes their-third year.
A judicious system of feeding is es- in

The School Recess.
Joseph Carter, in a recent Popular
Science Monthly thinks “ there is a grotv
ing tendency to abolish the school re¬
cess.” The experiment has been
adopted in Rochester, N. Y., and it is
said by the editor of the Boston Journal
of Education, satisfaction.” that it We has don given know “per

was “perfectly satisfied,” the article
maintaining the silence of the grave on
that very important point, but weave
inclined to think it was probably of Educa- the
editor of the Bo-ton Journal
tion, who, it may be assumed, would be
quite as well satisfied with his own stir
roundings and habits and work if the
schools of Rochester should abolish all
holidays and vacations and gradually all night
grow into the habit of holding
sessions. But we believe, with Joseph
Carter, whose article all teachers should
read, that the “tendency is a bad one.”
It was a bad one twenty-live years ago,
when it was exh.bited only in individual
cases, and it must be far worse now,
when it threatens to become general, in
We can recall now many 7 instances
the days of long ago, when this
tendency to “abolish the school
recess” was manifested in the ease
of one boy 7 , a quiet, sensitive lad
sweet brown eyes, the lace of a
cherub and the heart of an angel, a
good, studious bright boy 7 . He was in
the writer's class. He satin the writ
er’s seat, in fact; when the writer was
alone that good’ boy 7 was his only 7 com
panion. And well do we remember
what hard times it was for that boy
when the occasional “tendency to abol
ish the school recess” afforded him the
melancholy pleasure of remaining in
his seat, trying to get at the true in
ward ness of ad, ante, apud, and twenty
three other beggars that were followed
by the accusative, while he could hear
the howling mob of boys down in the
yard kicking a foot-ball half way to the
moon. Of course this tendency to abol
ish the school recess is a bad one If
something must be abolished let us stick
to the recess and abolish the hour for
luncheon in the office of the Boston
Journal of Education. Not that lunch
hour ought to be abolished, for it do
serves and commands our honest re¬
spect and esteem, but because the recess
was established first and the schools
can get along much better, without
the Journal oj Education's
than without their recess. So
if we must abolish something, let us
abolish something we can get along
without. Let us abolish the MeGurty
text books for instance. Let us abolish
the system of changing text books
oftener than four times a year; let us
abolish the book agent, the map ped
dler, and the desk man at the teachers
institutes; let us abolish some of the
difference between the $1,500 principal
and the $800 assistant; let us a.iolish
the treasurer who skips with the school
funds; let us abolish the member of the
Board of Education who hasn t been m

years old; let us abolish the teacher who
hates teaching and » going to teach
only until he can be admitted to the
