At a meeting of the North Canterbury Education Board a sub-committee allotted to consider the advisability or otherwise of issuing instructions to teachers regarding the use of the School Journal, reported that they did not think the Board should issue instructions to tea,-, chers.-but should leave) the method of use of the Journal entirely to their individual ' discretion. The reason for coming to this decision was that the School Journal m its present form was of very little use either as a purely literary or as a geographical, historical, and scientific reader. The chief faults and defects of the Journal were set out. The Bosird unanimously approved of the report.
