THE EDUCATION AC1‘.

As the attention of the House of Aembly will, In all probability, be early directed to revise the

existing system of Education in this Colony,—noi- ——

wiilistanding the unqualified praise bestowed on the Act of I858 in Ilia E.scollsncy's opening Speecli—we purpose to point out wlint amendments we consider will tend to best advance the cause of education and ameliorate the condition of our Teachers, who are too low in number and too much scattered to consult for the advancement oftbeir own interests : in this article then we shall direct attention to a ferv clauses of the Act. allude to the actual nud probable evils resulting from them and endeavour to suggest a remedy. To clause 5th ivl-icli (letermines the qualifications of teachers we shall allude hcrnfter.—By the I3th cbiuse School-houses erected prior to April I853 need not be larger thim I2 by Id feet, while of those built since, I8 feet square is the rriiniinuni size; even the latter is too small, to contniii in addition to the requisite furniture. the number of children which will seine- timcs have to attend to make up the average of 30.- Cluusa 20 empowers Trustees to assess all residents for fuel. repairs, hooks &., It does not appearjust, in addition to a lurid-tux for educational purposes. to lay a local in upon those who derive no direct benefit from the School for the purpose of providing firewood and books for their neighbour's children; it may be agreed, many are too poor. granted. and many are too poor to provide shoeing for their children, and more will rather send °them slaielcss and bookless, than less well cliid than their neigbour’a are: In Charlottetown and Georgetown the coal. is defrayed. as it should be, by the parents of those in attend’ ancs.—-Clauses, I8, 20. 2t, 32, 83, with parts of others, define the duties and powers of Trustees, but as there is neither induceriient nor compulsion held out. it is very probable great dlficulty will be experienced in obtaining men to act. few feeling inclined to incur the trouble and odiuin iitiendenl on suing their neighbours for such things on clause 20, just referred to, i_Iirecls.—Clanae 26. requires an average attendance of 80 in each school for the six months prior to the inrister claiming the Government allowance, and the I'lih orders the closing by the Visitor of those wheres! the number falls short: ii School can scarcely be eflicisnt where the numbers are very small. and the intention of this clause may be to promote a more regular attendance, but it bears too hard on teachers many of whom may be faithful in the performance of their duties. and yet be depriv- ed of a part of the already snialhanough allowance. because. as in too many instances the case, but little regard for education is found among the people and even where some regard is exhibited. the advanta- ges of a continuous training are so little appreciated that children are often kept at home for the most frivolus cause: in Prussia the average attendance is I00, in England out of90 on the roll 72 is the aver-

To further the educational interests of our Island, adequate provision must be made for the employment and retention of a sutlicisnt number of gsnileinon of suitable character in the capacity of Teachers. and measures must he triltsn to bring about more regular attendance of Pupils. In order to obtain the former, the country must make up its mind to contribute somewhat more than £50 a year which is relatively a liir less sum now than it wasn year, since. when provisions, labor and Goods were I0 per cent chen per : their pay should be oncreased annually and rise with each branch of learning they may become snfiicienlly proficient in, thus an inducement will be held out for men to follow the calling professionally and not as a mnke4hift.:—-A small tee should be exacted. as in other countries, payable in advance’ for while the difference is as nothing to the parents it greatly affects the position of the Teacher; thus. the allowance would brnr some proportion to his local exertions and his best endeavors" would he used to increase and advance his school : in some countries a fine is levied to compel attendance, we‘ are inclined to think that the deprivation of the privilege of voting at olociions wou'd answer the purpose better until a generation shall arise which will fully appreciate scholastic edu. cation: Certain is it that more can be learnt during 30 consecutive days than 60 scattered through I or I nioriihs. and where the nisnibers are not very small : as in some settlements children are few and parents
