THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.
In the annual report of the Nelson Inspector of Schools the following sentences occur: —Several schools, that have succeeded in passing less than 60 per cent, of those presented, are notoriously better taught than some that show 90 to 100' per cent. For v.his result Ido not hold myself in the least responsible. If the shoe frequently pinches, I did not manufacture it, my duty now beiig simply to apply it to all alike. The docility with which the bulk of our teachers ha'-e adapted their style of instruction to the requirements of the standards should gratify the most ardent admirer of uniformity. The paring down process is already almost completed, and the few teachers, who have been imprudent enough to impart any instruction that does not tell directly an the standard work, are not likely to repeat such an irregularity.
