The i proper development -ot the body, and its -l i" r . . exemption from disease; the strength and I perfection 'of the.'' mcral and intellectual 'powers, are all dependant, more or less, iipoii the judicious manner in which the : physical and mentaljeducation of children is conducted. To neglect either; is to in jflict ah injury,, the! effects of which are seldom remedied by subsequent exertions, even under the most favourable circum stances. It is not our intention to enter upon the subject of even physical educar jtion. in its full . exteni, but merely to prej- sent a few. hints inl relation to the "diet, j sleep, clothing, cleanliness, exercise, aud 1 the state of the digesition of children. Diet. -Between the period of weaning ahd the seventh ylar, the diet should j' consist principally !and milk, with only of farinaceous food moderate allowance i of wholesome animal food Once or twice So ivcul- r!a k.iii-T in 1 n-n v'o f.l'ij. l.'.t '. a week, care being ialway's taken that it 1! be dressed ia the most plain and simple il man her, with a rigid exclusion -of all rich sauces, or- heating condiments, such as would either ..tempf the child to eat too much, be heating to the stomach, or would have a tendency to rirodue'e a feverish ex - cilement, or cause a too great thirst. A soft boiled egg, rice or bread puddings. bread and milk, or potatoes and milk, panada, or simple bustards; will form a pleasing variety in the diet of children. Oatmeal gruel has been the food of many -ia healthy. and" thriving child. From the juse of tea and cofleel it would be better if jchildren .Were entirely debarred. They nlay be allowed to eat ripe fruit, in mod-' jerate quantity, especially in the early part lSofthe day, taking care, however, that they reject the skin! and of cherries and The drink of chil water, or on occia- the like, the stones. dren should be Jiur .ssions, milk and wafer, or whey.'
