To rive to the teachers the knowledge luck- ing, steps such us the following might L.• taken: -L The issue of bulletins by the department. 2. Establishing centres ..1 instruction. 3. Encouraging corre- spondence regarding difficulties. 4. The institution of small circulating lib- rsr•ies containing (say) twenty of the best books on these subjects, accom- panied by a brief explanatory pamph- let. "Up to the present our educational s}stem has concerned itself almost en- t!'•ely with preparation for college lite and the so-called learned professions, and arose who have neither the inclina- tion nor the opportunity to lake up ei- ther have been neglected and not con- sidered fit subjects for educational ef- fort.
