Martial Law in south Africa.

REGULATION-5 AFFECTING IMMIGR^TS.

United Frew Association—By Electric Telegraph

BtTNEDiN, Deo 5 The Right Hon. the Premier Has re ceived* through His Excellency the Governor, the following cablegram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies ;— 'in consequence of the establishment ol martial law at all British Booth African ports, it has been decided that, with the concurrence of the Government of the Gape Colony and Natal, after the Ist January next, persona desiring to land In those colonies mast provide themselves with a permit. Permits are to be leaned in this countiy by a special permit offioe, on the production of a certificate signed by a member of Parliament, Justice of the Peace, clergyman, or minister, or officer of his Majesty's, to the effect that the applicant is in possession of at least £100, or is in a position to maintain himself in South Africa; that the object of hie journey (object to be stated) la bona fide, and that he has not been deported or sent out of South Africa, or ia indigent. The applicant, after producing satisfactory certificates, is required to sign a declara tion to the same effect, with the additional statement that he will not, directly or indirectly, assist in any way whatever hie Majesty's enemies in South Africa, and that he is aware of the penalties for so doing under martial law. Members of one family are to be shown on the permit issued to the head, provided that a separate permit will be required for each son or daughter over sixteen. A notice is published stating that passengers front colonial ports must supply themselves with a permit from the Colonial Secretary, or some officer appointed by the colonial Government, who will satisfy himself, as far as posiible, that the applicants fulfil the above conditions. Specimen copies of the permits and of the notice summarised above sent yju by mail. Permits are available ouly to enable passengers to land in South Africa, and are no guarantee that they wili be allowed to proceed inland* ' Two oopits of each permit will be retained ■—one for the record at the guarantee office of issue, and the second to be despatched at the earliest opportunity to the officer at port to which the passenger is proceeding, viz ,the embarkation officer, Capetown, the commandant, East London, tho embarkation officer, Durban."

A Critical Tims in a School Child's Life.

There seems to be in. many children a> clearly defined period of subsidence in mental growth about' the seventh or eighth year. This by no means appears clearly in nil children ; but so frequently as to be more than individual variation. The child who has been going forward very rapidly suddenly'lrecomea etapid, careless of study and irresponsive & stimulus.

And whtt is the result? The fond parent who is vain of. the child's ability and tho teacher who.is ambitious for results unite to crowd tho child on. Stimulus is multiplied at homo and as school. The parent informs the teacher that the child has done well and there is no reason why he cannot do better. The teacher's pride and energies are redoubled to push the child forward.

In other words everything possible is done to force the child acroßß the period of retarded growth at the same rate of speed which was shown in the periods of most rapid and expansive forward movement. A

But now suppose that this period ot quiet incubation is Nature's provision for gathering slowly together the ener* gie? of life for the great forward leap in the period of transition from child hood to youth j what have we done J Crowded sail, only to crack the main mast and strain the ship ; forced the steam until the engine of life has been perhaps permanently disabled

How many over nervous and morbid children drifting in a sickly way through the period of transition, unable to respond to the appeal of that epoch of .life and come forth into bounding manhood and womanhood, are sad memorials to the successful gratifica tion of the vanity of parent and teacher

Suppose (terrible thought !) that the cl uld should even drop out of school for* a time, and revert to mud pies and san d houses, forgetting Ms arithmetic and letting his soal sleep In a calm physical life like an unawakened seed in the soil—what then I Thiss that a month of such a child's time late/ \ may be worth a year of the overstrained child's ,* that acquirements in arith .metiCj and grammar, and geography, .are poor tests of the worth of life

Too often when the child who has %een allowed to sleep his two years, if meceesary, strides ahead of his neigh bour who hag never missed a school day—nor even an evening's stndy at home—we regard it as unusual talent. We never stop to think how much of -eaaina is simply health !
