The following extracts from the last published reports of the sechool inspectors may be found interesting :— “T find that the fojllowing are the chief causes which lead to the failureof many of our teachers :— 1. Lack of proper classifcation of pu~ ils. : 2. Failure in securing the confidence and c> operation of both parents end pupils. 3. Lack of ambition and energy in the teacher, and the consequent absence of these qualities in the pupils. 4. They dep*ndtoo much books. (Teachers, when giving a lesson, should lay as‘de the iextsabook. They wouldthus moreeasily secure the con- fidence avd the attention of their pupils. ) 5. Failure in maintaining proper discip- line. 6. Lack of knowledge of human nature in general, and child-nature in particu- lar.’—Inepector McIntyre. “JT would cal! the attention of the teach- ers in respect to the out-buildings as con- tained in Regulation 22, Section 7, which reads: “It shall be the duty of every teacher ina public school to giye strict attention to the proper ventilation and cleanliness of the schoolhouse; to make and enforce rules as will ensure the keeping of the school grounds and out«building in & neatand clean condition.”—Lospector Arsenault. “T regret to say that I have nothing of sn eneouragisg naturet® report in regard to the attendance of pupils at the schools. Many teachers complained of irregularity ‘n this respect, many echools fell below the required average attendance. Among those were several graded schoole. The remedy for this greatest hinderance to s'c- cessful work in our schoolsis not very apparent, unless it be the enforcement of the Cowapulsory Clause of our Education Act. Doubtless more can be done by the teachers towards securing better atiend- ance than by any other means.”— Inspec tor Campbell. Teaching ie not regarded as it should be. Teachers are not as proud of their calling as they should be. More trust is reposed in educators than is or ever was reposed in any other class of public ser- vants; and therefore more responsibility is borne by them than by other public servants. eaching rightly considered is @ profession really more difficult than that oflaw or medicine. The malpraetice of itis even more disastrous—also more common for the victimes are not shat up in poorshouses or screened by the sepule chre. The teachers’ vocation has been lauded to the skies, while the system, owing to want of financial food, has been kept iv its condition of incomplete devel- Opment. Ratepavers are too niggardly in their contributions towards the teachers’ salaries. The supplements are decreasinz year by year. People hold the almigaty dollar so close to their eyes that they can- not see'the wisdom of Solomon’s words : “There is that seattereth and <yet in- creaseth ; and there is that with-holdeth reore than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.” It isall very well for rate payers to reflect that great will be the teachers’ reward in Heaven, but they on text~ Queen Si.

We occupied it for the firat time om 5th of February, and have thu: bad an experience of five or six weeks init. It is spacious, convenient, cubstantial,ad- mirablv lighted and well furnished.

When Solomon said, “ Spare the rod and epoil the child,” it is not likely he meant that uolews achild is beaten regu- larly aod frequently with the birch he would not grow up a credit to himeelf and his relatives, any more than the imetru~ ment used for the purposes of correction should at all times bea rod. The mean- ing is rather that unless judicious and adequate punishment is given the child who commits a disobedient act, a seed has been sown which will grow aad muitiply until the offender is spoiled for usefulness either in the home, church or state. There are few advocates now-s-cays of the severe and oftimes brutal methods of edvcation in home and echool a gemeration or so ago, yet the excessive len‘escy aud indulgence 0 commonly extended st present from parenter guars dian to child is not producing any better men Or women, nor iD many cases 80 geo’. There is a happy medium between the twofextremes and it is fourd in firm but kiad discipline and work. Tasks vot exceeding children strength, mental or physical, should be given and care taken thatthe workis done by thechild to whom it is given, Ti.s, and in no ether way,are habits of industry formed with- out Which nO man or woman isa useful citizen. Why sbould parents take all the burden of life and the growing sons and daugh- tere be exempt? Let the son earn the money, or large paris of it at least, which ia to pay his college expenses, Let the daughter take her turn at the waeb-tub and iroving-board,and thus work her way to the pfano or easel. If there is toit or ptivation necessary to be endured, it is falee kindwess for the parente to take it sllon themselves. Let the young people share it. Let them help as soon as they sre able to contribute te the family res sources and learn todo something usefal. The father and mother who pamper their children too much by a training which encourages a thousand artificial wants without giving them the meansof satisfye ing One of them, arm them very poorly for the battle of life. When they have to provide for themselves ihey will be beaten at every turn by thoee of tougher fibre who have had to “ hustle from the word go” ever since leaving their cradles.— Orange Sentinel.

PROWSE BROS What 1856, spoke, in part, as follows: *‘ I need not remind this meesing of the very obvious faet, that it isonly by means of a widespread education that rulers can govern with pleasure to themselves and with satisfaction to the governed. As not the ieast important feature of education is to inculcaie obedience to the laws, and by imbuing the fyouthful mind with sound principles in murals and religion, rear up the best ornaments to and barriers for the protection of society, it is obviously the first duty of a liberal-minded and enlight» ened Governor to promote, as far as it mey be in his power, the intellectual ad- vancement of the people committed to his care. That His Exeellency (Sir Dom‘nick Daly) is ever ready :o discharge this duty we have the most convineing testi: meny,and it must be gratifying to him to know that his efforts in this direction can bejeo well seconded by the iuass of the people themselves, for I do not believe there caa be found inamy part of Her Majesty’s North American possessions a community that appreciates moral and intellectual training more highly than the inhabitants of this Island. This testimony I can ber from considerable personal o'- servation, and without laying myself open to the change of egolism— gor I am not a ative of this Island,whick I might be tempted to regret, it I did not in 80M6 measure share with its song the advantages they enjoy. Though Priace Edward Islani happens to be the emallest and poorest of the North Americaa colonies, regarding our poverty in a commercial sense, we are entitled to boast that we havetaken the lead and se: the example to all the others in the important matter of education. The enlightened poliey which placed us in a position thas to boast, though originating with one section of politicians, will be hailed as the brightest inheritauce of al! who com? after us, when the raneour and petty heatsof party warfare will be for- gotten, and the sons and daughters of Prince Mdward, uaable to take an interest in the conflicts of their predecessors, may exult On common ground over the boon bequeathed to them. For my own part, though,as I said before, not a native of the Colony, I shall always consisler, wherever my lot may be cast, that I have been i highly priv:liged in being not only a member of *'he community, but a memter of the Legislature which gave birth toa free system of education. The important impetus which has been given to educa- tion by the universal spread of the printer’s art has completely revolutionized the whole republic of letters, bringing know- ledge hitherto inaccessible, and books unattainable by reason of their cost, within the reach of all, the poor as well as the rich eo that it seems to be an almost an- pardonable sin on the part of those who are brought up, where public and private libraries abound, to plead ignorance on subjects of general science, literature and art.” Geo.
