Mr. Hill the very excellent Inspector of the Government Schools, m the Napier and Poverty Bay Districts, proposes a very wise measure with regard so the assistant and pupil teachets under his control. It is that they shall exchange schools for a time, that one set of teachers may benefit by what is seen m the system of tuition adopted by other teachers. The teachers m the Gisborne School will be sent to the Napier School for a month or six weeks, when their places will be taken by the same number of teachers from Napier. Much is to be learned by this method. What is not good will be rejected for what is better. It will also possess this advantage : — lt will give the teachers temporary change of scene and air ; for these are young ladies who have to study hard and close for long hours at night, after the fatigues of the day's duties, and this cannot but be injurious to young constitutions, who physically have not matured into full womanhood.
