Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Princeton Review: July-December, 1884
Public complaints are breaking out on every side. We are told of a widowed mother, praying that her child should not be forced, for night after night his mind wandered, calling out fragments of his instruction. Children are unable to sleep through school-work. They are forced up to a certain pitch to pass the inspector, and then the knowledge they have acquired rolls away like water. Boys and girls are found in hospitals, suffering under nervous diseases which physicians declare to have proceeded from overtaxed brains.
