The result of all this ig; that a succession of fresh nien'arecoristant- ly being made and .ushered into'' the pro- feaalon, without experience or even practi- cal views of life, • To'illustrate, let us coine to facts.

Would not experience have decided in a Moment that the boy wad farbeyond what he was fit for to do. But. experience is at a and and heavy discount in this line of busi: nese.. This haste to be through' the course indicates the superficial nature of the in; struction imparted, and defeats its own ob. kat. Shakespeare Rays, "too swift arrives as tardy as too slow." But perhaps this. -is the reault'of new improvements, discoveries and methods so muchand unnecessarily Lauded by our school authorities. - Save us from it. •• • The editor of the.Globe'thinks time will bring the right men to the front after •a while, and then changes iyfilinifbe so fre- quent. But perhaps we�iiave a beaddryvind at present, hence :our temporary retrocea•: sign. Many other such like ins tandesnlight be citedof equal want of tact and "experience in different localities, but thorecital would do no good."• Than again, inspectors do not always act the honest and honorable part they might. They will:recommend a cir- twin course of proceeding to a teacher, and. if the results are the tabulation of thegood will of the people interested., he, perhaps, will not hesitate to take advantage of this to strengthen his own waning iufiuence, by letting you down oat,. I understand there is•one not one thousand miles from Clinton, who avers that when a teacher becowettob- noxious to a few in a loeality,,.no matter how obeouro that' few may be, ,he.shonld leave at once, as his usefulness is impaired. This is seemingly 1y g00t advice, doshefof fol- low ithitnself1 Whe diked to reaign,•did he do so ? No Biro 1 Circumstances alter cases. This is coming home .too close. This is a bird of a different color, t Would suggest as'?s remedy, and I think it will be• found the best in every way, and will he of immense good to the province; that the teacher's positiotr,be'ma:lo much more per- manent, make its business wherein security of livelihood is obtained, without the Pres- ent uncertainty, and' the thing would work much more satisfactorily to all parties. Tho country would secure the services of a superior class of men, who would throw life, vigor, experieaee, respeetability, interest,.' &c., into the profession,.
