method of managing masers, especially in towns

this is the moot which the Government has •I -

to understand, distinctly, 1h• meaning of this
lofty phraaingy •bout "atatiosary ignorance,"

that on " mint to the Clergy of Upper Canada,"
is involved in the New Aer, inasmuch as the
said Clergy are oor complimented by being
specially poiuteJ oat and requested, or authoriz-
ed :o perform the duties of School visitors n-
traordiaery ! The Doctor says that the visits
of the Clergy have hitherto beth rolwwtary, and
hence, he should hoe included this " inset" in

in the Now Am that forbids the continuance of
these voluntary visits; and yet the Doctor makes

thrown aide. So that to ay the least of it, he
anticipates • greater calamity than is likely to
take place. The second proposition is of en
very little importance, that it metiers not wheth-
er it dr true or false. The only benefit 'hat we
ore ale jo perceive in the practice of using text
banks or class books in a school, is the ease
which it given to the teacher, and it certainly
does facilit•reand lessen his labor. But we are
not aware that there i• either utility or wiadnm
in lensing all the yneth of the Province reading
the same books. The rehnols of one County
have nn necessary connection with the schools
of another County, nor. indeed, has any one
school a neretesry eonnee4tion with another
seihonl, in so for as progress or mutnal aid is
concerned. And only for the fact that the Coun-
ty Beard has the choosing of the books for all
the schools in ito respective County, each school
might use a JiR•reot kind of class books with
joist as much advantage both to the teacher and
to the tight, SP though the same books were
used in every ichnol in the Province. Where-
fore, then, all this anxiety and zeal for maintain-
ing a provincial uniformity in clues books t We
do not Pay there is any real harm in it, nor that
any teal evil will result from it. We regard it
merely a a harmless whim. But we do say

Turned out openly and manfully, we
think he should have been, but legislating
