Summer schools have increased greatly in numbers in the land during the past ten years. They have, doubtless, been a source of much good to many people in many places, but we do not often hear of just the sort of improvement which has come to Deerfield from the establishment there of the summer school of history and romance. “The school has done everything for the residents,” said one enthusiast. “Why, .there is one poor old sick woman ■there, who used to call her disease rheumatiz, and now speaks of it as neuralgia!” “I kpow that woman.” said another. “I went-tty see bar she said: ‘Oh, dear. I’ve got the neuralgy so bad that for three weeks I haint been able to git my knife to my mouth to eat my victuals.’ ” — Youths' Companion.
