THE INFANT SUFFOCATION WITH KNOWLEDGE i
SYSTEM. I
By a man barn cut of season. 1
"Oh ! the sunny, sunny hours of childhood, {
How soon?how soon they pass .way !" (
Verily! There was a time when we ,
had children. That time is pas\ or is fast |
passing.?The boys are premature mocktries
of men?the girls, something between
a doll and a stunted woman. The school- (
master is abroad, also the schoolmistress, .
besides tutors and governess"Ss.
Shortly after the children are weaned, (
they commence educating them. While
J ? 4 o J
i the brain is yet in a soft, pulpy state, they ,
load it with heavy facts and hard names
^ to its serious detriment during the remain,
der of its mundane existence. The ancient
Grecian commenced with carrying a calf
upon his back a few hours every day, so
b that when the calf gradually grew into a
bollock, he curried the bullock with as I
much eaSe as he had done the calf. This
is now the education principle. They lay
a few leaves of Cyclopaedia on a child's
tender brain and keep adding thereunto
day by day, expecting that when he is a
man, he will carry the thir.y volumes with
cenect ease, without considering that in
tie attempt they may crush all sap and
(rashness out of the brain, rendering it as flat
its a pancake and "dry as the remaiudcr of
u biscuit."
T^ow is this wholesome?is it natural t
Is u fair?is it humane, that a chil 1 should
t*s cheated out of i s childhood, and sent
to iearn the 4,use of the globes" before it
h;s learnt to play at marbles ? Or, is it to
be expected that this early forcing and hotbed
system can produce as healthy plan s
asiftitey had beeti allowed to grow m the
fr?*e aii and open sunshine ??Oil! in place
of sending a child to school at three or
four years, let it enjoy three or four more
years of healthy ignorance. Curb not its
young freedom; abridge not its first holidays;
cage not the pretty bird too soon!
Change not the free air of heaven lor the
jK*nt-up atmosphere of the 'seminary,'ihe
gentle murmur of the winds for the du'l
hum of tue prison-house. We were children
curs Ives once. Let us hive a f?:l!owft-uliug
tor the young rogues. Let kind
cLir.o N ilure nurse them a few days lonr.?T<>cre
will be fewer ricketfy lunbs
an l rirk? tty iuiellec's.
And doo? a child learn nothing because
it has not its primer in its hand ? Certainly
? Joes. Kvery hour of us life it is learning
; it cannot help it. The flower that
blows, the springing grass, the withered
l^'af the running water, ;he birds that hop
across its path, and the thousaud sights of
the fields and woods, or even the squares or
suburbs of a ci:y, cause it to think and no
question. The wind as it blows, the falling
rui?i, the fleecy snow, the sharp fiost male- ;
ing fii ifi the unstable water, the thunder
t ! t! >o ciir> lint ck'nno l\tr rl*a?v onf! tllO I
I'vut, i iw o\jii inui oiitiivo uy wuj 9 uiiu |
moon that steals into the dark sky at night,
L aii. ud ouch aiouse its infantile wonder ami j
young curiosity. Let it then have a few
yea? a of pleasant natural eduction before j
it commences its painful artificiui one. Let;
K as St. Paul says when it is a child, -'think (
as :i child, and act as a child," and in due |
and proper season, no doubt it will 4,put
a vi ay childish things."
But we are bent on doing too much.?
No lime has to be wasted. We cannot
be content with healthy natural children,
possessed of information proper to their
years: we must have prodigies?or parrets.
Miss prates of planetary system,
whilst her fingers itch ! make dolls end
frocks, and Master is taught philosophy

pre tv wav. But it is not your dull otdmu. j
r> c. ildrun, who simply learn to babble j
about a multitude of things that they do j
not tmd< r*tund, that are so much to be j
pitied. It is the naturally Hoe, apt, intellig?
n child this is the most inhumanly victimized.
I; is ejuick to learn, and its
cpuck'tess is praised. The craving aftn'
hnowh dge iv? rs ts young breast and in- j
s'ead of being repr-ssed or carefully regit- j
lap d, it is excited and led by the wonder
nod approbation of all who come in contact
wiih juvi tide prodigy. To add to the evil, .
more pains are taken with it by teachers
th-n uidi ordinary children; it is better
than advertisement to them ; a living proof j
of t to r eflici-ney as ins rtftors; its grati- I
fi.-d jvni irs are grateful for tin ir assiduity '

And of wh it use ro them is two thirds of i
the (?o r.ilkd) knowledge wi h which they I
are burdened, to tiie ruin of henlih and ex- (
C'sion of enjoyment? A young girl, for t
instance. Of what utility to her in after j
i tr s the smattering of geography, astrono- j
tr.y, botany, zoology, ornithology, or any t
A
)lhfT ology, which she m?y pick up ? Is I pi
t not a more interesting fact to her that Iter to
)et dove is the emblem of true love than fa
that is of the g?'nus Co/umba, and she can w
Jerive pleasure from the beauty and fra- to
prance of flowers endeared to her by their ut
common nan)e and associations and feel In
heir moral purity, without bothering her in
ittle head about the cramp titles with which d<
Linnajus and o'hers may disguise litem ? rf
Will thes'gns of the zodiac give any idea b;
of the fashions ? and what enres site now lit
about the distance of (Jrorgium Sidus from n<

troublesome to Ikt w hen she was a girl at ta

And nr-- not our boys equally taught too ul
early and 'oo much? They are porinfc le

TO lii.T HO..OKAbi.K THE Sti.tATK AMJ HOl'SK j
of represent* n* rs : t
Th" Memorial of tlie und?*rsigrted citr- 1
zens of Society Hill, in D?rlington District, |
respectfully sheweth: Your Petitioners nre
aware, that a modificn'ion or repeal of the 1
License L# v, will be brought to your notice, *
by Memorials from various parts of the j
State, nnd they beg leave to present their c
views on this important subject. It is now c
nearly fifteen years since some individual* c
in this community, deeply impressed widi I
the evils ofintemperance, formed themselves ; *
in'oan association, to abstain from the use I (
of ardent spirits and some who were en. (
gaged in the tru flick ahan loned it. Tliev ?
have seen, since that period, a great and
salutary change in public opinion on this
subject nnd they cannot but rejoice that at
this t me, it occupies so much of the public
attention. We frankly confess, that there w
are difficulties aeetaiing n proper L gisla- a
tion, on a subject invo ving the in erests 8
and hahi s of so many, and on which opmions
are so various. Put wc believe, tliat
as guardians of the pubi c welfare, p^nre,
and. morals, you will give it all t' at attention,
w lyrh its importance deserves. We
bfjr |<avt, res pec1 fully lo make the follow,
in" sngges ions for your consideration. The "
License Laws. were no doubt w?*li intcnded
; their object was not revenue, but to 1
restrain a public evil. In ibis they have j ^
signally failed. In truth they seem to coti - "
tenance that, which the Legislature of n L
moral and chris tan coinrnunry should con- ' n
d<*mn. We therefore recommend, 1st. That ; *
the whole License Law be repealed, except j8
so much as prohib Is the trajfuk in ardent [ t
spirits with ourslaves. 2nd. L' t the subject I (|
of an entire prohibition of the trade in ardent h
spirits, except by authorize d apothecaries *J
for medical purposes, he referred to tliepeo- 0
plea- the next general Election. We prefer
this course forth? following reasons : All
changes in the laws of the in id, which inn- I
'erialiy nftbet the opinions, and habits, of a j
large portion of its citizens, should not bet 1
suddenly made. Care should betaken tor void ! 1
even the appearance, of what may he con- j b
si lered arbitrary or oppressive in our L'gis ^
latnrc: j,
2nd. No evil can arise from the repeal U
of the Law. Ii is now evaded every where,
I'Yvv or no Licenses are granted in our D hl
trict, nndyet the evil exists. 3rd. Timnwill j(
l>e given to use-rain the pubi c mind, whi h /fi
cannot now be Inlly known. VVe depro- ai
rate any action by the Le gislature which Cl
will not be fully sustained by public opinion.
Tbere is one other suggestion, winch.'*
your petitioners would make, and to which rc
we invite the most S"rious attention of your h(
honorable body. It is this : That drunk.
tmess be made n crime, and the drunkard *
be subject to punishment, under such restiic. ^
[ions as you in your wisdom may devine. he
The man who voluntarily places himself in pr
ircumstances to disturb the public peace, l>':
*nd to commit every species of crime, is as ^
fair a subject for legal punishment as the th
lliicf or murderer. If it is 'he right and du- re;
y of Government to punish nuisances, to T<
protect its citizens from violence, and to
prevent crime and misery, surely in the
IrunkarJ wo s'-e these demands for |e.
islation most manifest. We h:ive b<-en
0 much disposed 10 condemn the mnnut'tun.T
and retailer of ardent spirits (and
e do not mean to lessen the crime attached
then)) and to regard with sympathy the
lfortunaie drunkard. It r? true, some
tve been reclaimed by kindness, but the
stances are rafe, The great mass are
?graded, nnd beyond the r-ach of moral
strain s. Their cases can only be reached
y the strong arm of the Law. We do be.
ive that a Law to punish drunkards, and if
'ccssory to takeout of their hands 'he con01
of their property, would be a most shIu.
try one; and that, without some such proision,
all our legislation on this subject will
3 defective. We repeat again, it would
s justice to society?it would he huinani y
i ttie driihkard?and what will it not be the
hused and heart broken wife, to the nog
cted oivl starving children. Of the right
i pass such Laws, We entertain no doubt,
jid we have been taught a lesson, by the
.'cent Conduct of the Cliincs^ Government,
i reg rdto the Opium tra e, Which should
ot he lost on us.
Ii is indeed a grave and stern rebuke to
tocivilrzod world. We see a nation, tnat
'e regard but as little better than savnge,
iterposing her authori y and arresting the
rogrefcs of uri evil which was spreading ruin
nd desola'ion among tier people ; and shall
ot we, who boast of her Civilization, rtfincient,
and morals, use every vflort to re me.
y on evil amongst us, not less ruinous and
ital in i:s effec.s ? Th?- subject is one ol
eep interest, and intimately connected w ith
le welfare of our S;ate and the permanence
f our instKU'iorw. We do not wish to
'esspass on the just rights of any man. nor

ourse may he ndop'ed o free our country

MitroiH-rs will leave the subject with you,

/h ch you, n your superior wisdom, may
dopt. And your Petitioners as in duty
