THE MILITIA. We believe that the. calling out of tlic llliiitiit ol'tliia island for this purpose of dril- ling. on has been done during the past two years. has been cliaraclcrized by the Presi- dent of the present l-Ichiiilvc its “ 'I'UM~ rootrnr." We believe that the l'rcsidi-nt was not far astray. Last year, hundreds of our population were taken from \lll:l|‘ pur- units and conipcltud to undergo drilling during parts at night or ten days. and this year the -- tungbiilcry" is. we lllltlt'l‘nltillll, to bo rcprnt‘ ul. Surely the uicnibcrl ut' the Aaecinlaly will do all they can to relieve the peupl from this most unnecessary duty, by not voting the public money for any such purpose. as drilling the Militia. What end is sought tube tit- (aineil by this drilling men for it few hours or days during the year? No sane person sirp~ posrsllnit :~Iiy snrli drilling at our Militia have been subjcctml in will niako Ioldicrs ot our farmers and laborers. Several menibcrii uft'io legislature are personally aware ofthc very great annoyance to which the pcoplo were subjected last year, and we trust they will plainly tell tho Government that they will not longer allow the iiilialiitiints of this island to be dragged from their farms or wniksbepr. tit iill seasons nftlic year. to play Sulili'rr. \\'e do not object to a moderate grant for drilling l'olunlurn. hilt we most earnestly protest. against calling out annually l2,0t)ti or li‘iJlOU able linilicd inenntiikiiiu them from tho pursuits by which they earn their ly bread—scrum that no good pur- poso iii ensured by such ” to...t'onlery."

OUR SCHOOL BOOKS.

Tun adapt .tion of suitable means is a primary consideiiition in the performance of an act. The skillful and experienced surgeon in performing a critical operation pays the rtrirtcst attention to the quali- ty of' the instruments which he uses. And the teacher, in order that the taught may receive the full benefit of his iii- striictioini. must be provided with suit- nble books. Although our Educational S dent in perhaps unsurpassed in general excellence in any country which possess“ similar advantages. and whose happy fruits iilrt-ady rcdoinid to the credit of it» originator. still it has some faults and imperfections which very materially ob‘ struct its successful working. One of these faults, which calls loudly for recti- ticatiun, lies in the use of the books which are ordcred to he read in the district schools. The reading books, which are now principally used are what: are (li'llollllnlllet “The Series of National School Books.” They are graded so as to comprehend five different classes. The higher: of these classes—or what in called the Fifth Book—is chiefly taken up with reading matter treating of Get -

'lll'ltl Philosophy. and Chemistry. These lllll‘jt‘t'ls arc of pnrumourt importance in. themselves, and it is desirable that: our lyoutli should have u knowledge of them. but what in desirable in not always prac— ticable. and we nhould be careful that they are not spending the time in vainly striving for that which is simply desir- able, that should be employed in obtain- ling what is absolutely ncccasary. A candidate for the ofﬁce of a teacher is not required to profess these subjects. which is quite reasonable, since he has no opportunity to lcarn them. For livith very few exceptions, all our tench- era got their education in the district schools. the teachers of which aehools have ascended by tho some ladder. and it cannot reasonably be supposed that their education as it. general thing will be any- tbing more than what. the law requires. l rubably some will ask. ‘ \‘i’hcrc is the : .‘(cinnil School, and why the five months 1>pcnt in that. institution?" “'0 have home doubts regarding the advantages of that institution. but. admitting its utility for the sake of argument, it does not rriuedy the defect. The original inten- tion of a Normal Sclzool is not to give u scholastic education. but to train the scholar in the art of imparting the know- li-dgc be already possesses to t“c minds of others in the most intelligible and ad- viintugcuiis manner. llow then can it be expected that they can be taught to any :idvniiiiign in our district schools. They also afford a text for the distiiminatiiig and inquisitive scholar to usk questions arising from them. which the teacher is unable to iinswrr, thereby destroying it tconiidcnce in his llllLllCCtlltll supe- riority which is so necessary to his suc-

err, unprofitable and injndiciuus to require them to instinct our children in subjects about which they are neither supposed nor required to have anything like it

thorouin knowledge. it is somewhat like sending a man who knows nothing more about ti riilc, than to ﬁrc_tt random shut, to drill a company of raw recruits in the manual ex else of that weapon. The next lower class of this series. or the Fourth ltook,is for the most part devoted to lessons on Nat-a d lllutory and Descriptive Geography—both of which rubjccis are entirely in advance of a aclinlar's capacity, who may be able to read tin-in iiicclianiciilly. The Natural ll ory is dry, unintcrcsting. and run- dcrcd extremely ditliciilt by a very fre- qucnt use of technical terms, tlnll the ;lc.~soim in Descriptive Geography parti- Iculzirixe to such an extent. that they are itedious and confusing to a child who cannot linow much more than the more onllineu of gt ngraphy. In fact the whole series ia unsuited to our udvantagt-s unil necessities. The book for the highest class presupposcn an (duration which the law does not demand ofour teachers; and the books for the classes below it treat of subjects which are generally beyond the capacity of the licholzira. The result is that the oriuiniil aim of an elementary education. winch our dialriet schools are intended to furnish, is not attained. Our chil- dren leave school with a vague and un- settled ideii of a few iibstriisc subjects, and know li‘tlc or nothing of the simplest. iiiattcra of" every day life. Instead of which, they should have been carefully taught in the first. 0r elementary princi- plea of learning, which act as the only foundation upcn which to rear the Iupcr- structure of the higher branchco. The mind when young should be carefully stored with oimplc factl and drillod in reading lesions that are short and thoroughly understood, affording an op- portunity to exercise and dcvclopo the ith sully of reason, no that. in rlper years lit will have it facility in grappling with wrighticr matters. \Vliereus ifit be kept reading long and imperfectly understood lcssoina.it will acquire iihiibit of thought- lcsinicss. whereby Home of its noble-it faculties will either liu dormant, or wither under the blasting influence of inaction.
