HISTORY TEACHING IN THE SCHOOLS
$ WHAT GERMANY HAS TAUGHT US. "We are pleased to be able to report some improvement in history and civics, in. respect both of tho method of instruction and of the pupil's knowledge of historical events" is an interesting remark which appears in the annual report of the Inspectors of the Wellington Education Board, presented to the board yesterday. Good schemes of work were prepared at the beginning of tho year, but in many schools theso wero abandoned at the outbreak of tho war, attention boing paid to former wars in which Britain has taken part and to the present distribution of territory in tlie world in general and in Europe in particular. "There is no doubt that the time is opportune for tho inauguration of a. more thorough system of teaching history as the basis for tho study of civic and general social problems. Confronted as we are by tho result of such teaching in Germany, the need of a more systematic study of history and allied subjects assumes the proportions of a national duty."
