verires the youth of the social stats above.
We shall. probably. learn wisdom slowly;
but we can learn it. Less of Wing is
what American children of the more favor-
ed classes need. Lesa study. possibly; less
play. certainly. Less churehing. of certain
exhausting kinds. in some quarters. Every‘
where less of that consuming intensity that
burns out heart. brain.and tissue. and plants
so many melancholy little old heads on
young shoulders. Meanwhile. we need not
fall into a panic and destroy the common
school to save the child from over study.
We must abandon the absurdity of trying
to give what the parents call “a thorough
nitration“ in common schools All that
' can be well done there. is z—lst. to awaken
the love of truth and knowledge; Ed. by
natural methods of teaching. to instruct the
child to use his mind and use books; lid. to
bring bins in vital contact with a few realms
of knowledge. putting hire in msession of
their first principals. The mass of useful
information and details of knowledge he
must gain." at all. by the use oflibraries and
the opportunities of his after life. If our
common school teachers can be well fitted
for their work. and the best methods of
study secured. we can rescue the schools
from their worst evil: the bewildered wan-
dering about amid the undergrowth of
knowledge. never reaching a commanding
eminence. and never getting out of the
woods. It is this confused teaching. this
miscellaneous meandering through a dun
labyrinth of facts and fancies. this lack of
intelligent adaption of science to the youth

The Fourth Avenue, New York Int-
prove-tents.
The important work of the Fourth avenue
improvement. New York.is now so far ad
vanced that the end is nearly in sight. and
the greatness of the task and the vast ltcnetit
it will confer upon the city are beginning
to be partially realised. That it has been
a difficult as well as a great work. these
who have passed back and forth upon the
line of the road daily are full aware. al—
though no adequate idea of the extent of
dialculties can be obtained from the car
windows. however curious and frequent
the observations. The inltitory steps were
taken seventeen months ago. the first pick.
in: and shoveling being done on May 15.
1878. During last summer nearly 5.000
men were engaged in one capacity or an-
other. and in the winter this force was only
reduced to about 3.000. and at the present
time numbers not far from 4.1110. The work
consists of several difl‘crent features. l-‘rorn
Forty-eighth street. the tracks are sunk. but
there is no tunneling until Fifty~sixth street
is reached. Palmer Sessions has the con.
tract for the roek~blssting and masonry table
and has start of 100 feet upon the walls.
which are seventeen feet high and about
four feet wide at the top and eight feet at
the here. These are of stone. and 50 feet
apart at the base or 58; feet at top. The
trucks will be from 19 to 1“ feet below
-the surface of the road.
The tunnels proper begin at Fifty-sixth
street. and are three in number; the central
one intended for two tracks and the express
trains. and the outer ones for one track
each. for the use of the way trains. From
Fifty—six to Sixty-sixth streets is the iron
been tunnel. which the top follows the plan
of corrugated iron roofs. and is thickly cov-
ered over with ermcrete. The central tun-
nel hua roof opening at each block. 125
feet long and 20 feet wide. with iron cross-
hrs. and properly protected. Opposite
these openings. arches in the piers serve to
light and ventilate the smaller side tunnels.
The brick arch tunnels begin at Sixty-sixth
strret and run to Seventy-first street. much
. of which it now completed. The arches
sloeeue of brick. These are thickly ce~
nutsdenthetop and protected by stone
work.“ thewbole is covered overwith
earth which fills up to thelevelofthestreet.

unavoidably liable to fall upon the trains
or tracks. and the brick arches could hardly
be expected to withstand the shocks they
received. The utmost watchfulness was
necessary to prevent accidents. Along
thieatrerch the ledges are forty feet high.
and the work. at the boat. has been slow and
vexatious. The rock. however. is now near-
ly broken. the cavities are already relieved
of much o‘f~ it. and will be. before many
weeks.be ready for the brick lining. {he

Ninety- -fourth street. where the brick arches
continue for ablock or two and unite in one
large tunnel with a span of 68 feet. high

are ready to receive the arches. which will
baht-gun as soon as the smaller ones center-
ring here are completed.
The 'uext portion of this great work
is the viaduct across the Harlem tl its. This
begins at 103d street. and end at 110th
street. This of itself is a work of great
magnitude. and is of course built (it stone.
