PERIPATETIC SCIENCE.
[Pub Pbess Association.] DUNEDIN, May 27. Inspector Petrie has drawn the attention of- the Education Board to the account of the peripatetic system of teaching science as carried out by the Birmingham School Board. He points out that though an elaborate programme of elementary science lessons is prescribed, they have proved anything but a success, and suggests that the Board should follow the example of Birmingham and establish the peripatetic system for Dunedin and suburbs, and it would gradually extend throughout the country. The first cost at Birmingham was £IOOO, and the year's expenses £SOO, and Mr Petrie thinks £6OO a-year would keep an establishment in working order here.
