Education.
In an able artie'e on Education the Hawkes Bay Herald has the following remarks which parents would do well to take to heart. " Nothing has been so slipshod &a the establishment of our education system in the past. There is nor ever has been a co-ordinating of the work in the system of this country. The system was begun without so much as an attempt to make skilful teachers, and even to-day the country permits the issue of certificates of competency to candidates so long as they can answer mechanical questions that afford no criterion of skill, or training and the management of schools. Nothing has brought the German system into prominence so much as the trained and properly educated teacher. The soldier is made a soldier by training, and the schoolmaster is made such by training and training alone. The school and the State will be successful just in proportion as the teachers who have to
'urn out the men and women of the future are not merely educated teachers, but skilful in their profession, and in their sympathies "with human nature such' as it is in boys and girls."
