THE SLEEP OF A LABORING
MAN IS SWEET!
EDUCATION COMPREHENDS
FAR MORE THAN MANY
SUPPOSE. MIND AND BODY
MUST BOTH RECEIVE
ATTENTION; AND UNLESS
OUR YOUTH ARE VERSED
IN THE SCIENCE OF HOW
TO CARE FOR THE BODY
AS WELL AS THE MIND,
THEY WILL NOT BE
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
THE STUDENTS
EXERCISE THEIR
PHYSICAL POWERS
IN SUCH A WAY THAT
THEIR PHYSICAL
STRENGTH SHALL
NOT BE DISPRO-
PORTIONATE TO
THEIR MENTAL
DEVELOPMENT,
AND THEREFORE
A JUDICIOUS
SYSTEM OF
PHYSICAL
CULTURE WITH
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
THAT THERE MAY
BE A HARMONIOUS
DEVELOPMENT OF
THE MIND AND BODY.
NOTHING THAT
PERTAINS TO
PHYSICAL PERFECTION
SHOULD BE LOOKED
UPON AS OF LITTLE
IMPORTANCE. IN
EATING, DRINKING
AND DRESSING THE
LAWS OF HEALTH
SHOULD BE DILIGENTLY
FOLLOWED, AND IN
REGULATEING THE
HOURS FOR SLEEP,
THERE SHOULD BE
NO HAPHAZARD
WORK. NO STUDENT
SHOULD FORM THE
HABIT OF SITTING
UP LATE AT NIGHT
TO BURN THE MID-
NIGHT OIL, AND THEN
TAKE THE HOURS OF
DAY FOR SLEEP. IF
THEY HAVE BEEN
ACCUSTOMED TO
DOING THIS AT HOME,
THEY SHOULD SEEK
TO CORRECT THEIR
HABITS, AND GO TO
REST AT A SEASON-
ABLE HOUR,
AND RISE IN THE
MORNING REFRESHED
FOR THE DAY'S DUTIES.
IN OUR SCHOOLS THE
LIGHTS SHOULD BE
EXTINGUISHED AT
HALF PAST NINE.
