THE EDUCATION REPORT.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, — Y our editorial of this morning was extremely complimentary to Mr. Dee. To an ordinary, and even an intelligent reader, his report would appear highly satisfactory ; but X would remind you and your readers that all which glitters is not gold, and lam afraid if the slight coating were scraped off our educational report it would turn out very base metal. It should be borne in mind that the writer is Mr. Dee, and he would be a very modest man.indeed if he had not something to" say for himself ; judging from the very good use he has made of whatever ability he may possesses, he is hardly the man to imitate the desert flower, or bide bis light under a bushel. In short, he has blown a very loud but a very hollow blast on his own trumpet. My experience, X take it, is somewhat more extensive than his, and my opinion is that education in this province is in a disgracefully backward state. ... I-shall not trespass on your space by going into detail on your remarks on the benefits of inspection, &o. They are good and sound, but totally misplaced when applied to Mr. Lee.— l am, &0., A Teacher. April 29. :
