One boy of 10 years milked eigbt cows and walked 2£ miles to and : from school, respectively. It was r* marked that. attention had already been ■ drawn to this deplorable evil, and it was 'thought -that the ill-effects from tht teacher's point of view were due as mucli to the want of sufficient sleep as to tht ifatigue that must, often ensue from suet continuous unvaried exertion.
