V., the assertion of the principle of stricter definition in place of vague enumeration, and the changes made •with' respect to teaching history in Standard VI. It would be a pity if the teachers as a body were to mistake or treat with levity the manifest tendency of public opinion in favour of making education more practical. Although we feel a deep interest in the movement to obtain for 'purely technical education an assured place in the national system, we feel that there is very great force ia Mr Scott's contention that the syllabus is already overcrowded, and that a first place must be given to those elementary subjects popularly designated " the three R's," and that in the main technical education must be provided for under a separate and largely optional system like the one which has been established in Eoglaud. Nevertheless there are subjects contributory to technical education —and drawing, and the principles of agriculture and I mechanics, in a country like this,! we should class among the number— which may and ought to be brought well within the scope of the ordinary school syllabus. In the training and classification of teachers for our elementary schools we would also give J special, inducements and rewards to) those who obtained proficiency in these branches. While the preparation of i clever boys for our secondary schocis ! should not be lost sight of and may be j ■provided for by a liberal system o! I scholarships, it must never be iorgotteu i tbatthe chief function of our elementary J schools is to fit boys for perlnrniing ] the work of the world, and U-v th;: dis-! ■charge of those social and political ■duties which devolve upon thorn as members of a self-g.;vernu;j; State.

' There i 3 nothing e'se calling for special remark in the ofijri;ii report oi the recent meeting of the Council of the Institue, v/))ich has just reached vs. We think ti>at vie Council has- more than juslifici its existcne?, and the vindication which it has thought fit to publish under this head in the report of a special committee was surely unnecessary. If the large body of educated men who are now employed by the .State to train the 120,000 school child:ren of the c010n , . , had no word to say ■ collectively upon the v> , .nk U'.at has been entrusted to thin ), their silence 'would he evidence of their uiifur.ess for the diUy ratlicr than a prooi that there was no need ior Fiu:h an oig'miisation as the one vxhich has b'len •created under the iille oi "The Iviucalional Institute of New Z•Miami."
