EDUCATION.
Tn the course of an address r> day or so ago. Professor David spoke re-
garding the new Education Act in New South Wales, and the curriculum. He compared it with the derm an system, and especially referred to the accusation brought against the curriculum as to its preponderance of mathematics and science, and the corresponding weakness in languages, literature, and history. He hoped, as a member of the examining board, and as one of the builders of the new scheme, to see this remedied, especially since the humanities were the great subjects that tended to the building of character. In rhe German gymnasia the mathermatics and science occupied some 15 per cent, less than in the New South Wales system; while the languages and literature were proportionately more studied; and the Germans are a practical nation.
