TEACHERS' HOLIDAYS.

'•No one can proscribe for the individual the holiday that will benefit him most. The teacher in a*"City school in a traffic-ridden area may feel compelled to fly into the quiet of the country—or may be bored and depressed without the continual bustle of the town. One teacher finds inspiration and recreation in the truest sense in a vacation course at which only members of his own profession arc to be met; another, no lass conscientious and endowed with an equal sense of duty, finds it imperative for a while to escape from the society of teachers and mingle with companions in otbei; walks of life. There is room for all these and other types in the profession ; tlie less standardised we are in outlook the better for the children. But whatever type of holiday each individual finds best, there is one plain duty laid upon all: to devote some part of it to critical and constructive thought about our work. —"The Times" Educational Supplement.
