CLEVELAND IRON MARKET. MiDDLESBOROCGH, Tuesday.—The iron market to-day was thinly attended on account of the Redcar races. The business doing was also small, and there was not mych change in prices. Merchants' rates varied between 44s and 44s lgd, No. 3 and Is less No. 4 forge. Makers' rates were nominally at 44s bd, No. 3. Warrants were freely offered at 44s, but buyers will not give this price, and there is scarcely any sale. Messrs Connalls stock has declined on the week 282 tons, being to-day 117,441 tons. Shipments of pig-iron are very heavy. They have been largely in excess this month as compared with last. For the six weeks ending yesterday they amounted to nearly 26,000 tons. Manufactured iron has been steady, and the demand pretty favourable. Prices are firm, at jB6 5s for common bars, jB6 5s to JB6 7s 6d angles, and J66 15s to £7 for ship-plates (less 2 per cent.). Puddled bars J64 nett. The steel trade keeps rather quiet. No change in coal or coke.

REPORT OF THE SCIENCE AND ART DEPARTMENT. The 29th report of this department of the Com- mittee of Council on Education, signed by Lord Spencer, Mr Mundella. and Col. Donnelly, the assistant secretary, has been presented to Parlia- ment. The volume, with the appendices, extends to 623 pages, and contains a complete account of the work of that branch of the public service during the year 1831. The following is the sum- mary which is affixed to the repoi't The numbers of persons who have .during the year 1881 attended the schools and classes of science and art in connection with the depart- ment are as follows—viz., 61,1'7 attending science schools and classes in 1881, as against 60,871 in 1880, and 917,101 receiving instruction in art, showing an increase of 79,793. At the Nor- mal School of Science and Royal School of Mines there were 46 regular and 139 occasional students. At the Royal College of Science for Ireland-there were 16 associate or regular student and 29 occa- sional students. The lectures delivered in the Lecture Theatre of the South Kensington Museum were attended by 3,788 persons. The evening lectures to working men at the Royal School of Mines were attended by 1,472 .persons, being 328 less than last year and 211 science teachers attended the special course of lectures provided for their instruction in the new Science Schools at South Kensington. The various courses of lectures delivered in connection with the de- partment in Dublin were attended by about 850 persons. The total number of persons therefore who received direct instruction as students or by means of lectures in connection with the Science and Art Department in 1881 is 984,820, showing an increase as compared with the numler in the previous year of 78,649, or 8-7 per cent. The attendance at the Art and Educa- tional Libraries at Sduth Kensington and at the National Library of Ireland in 1881 has been 84,949, or an increase of 765 over that of last year. The museums and collections under the superintendence of the department in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh were last year visited by 2,464,538 persons, showing an increase of 132,095 on the number in 1880. The number of visitors to the South Kensington Museum has increased from 801,863, in 1880, to 1,017,024 in 1881. The returns received of the number of visitors at the local art and industrial exhibitions to which objects were contributed from the South Kensing- ton Museum show an attendance of 1,361,900 per- sons, as against 696,541 in 1880, or an increase of more than 95 per cent. The total number of persons who, during the year 1881, attended the different institutions and exhibitions in connection with the department has been 4,811,258. This total, compared with that of the previous year, presents an increase of 876,103. The expenditure of the department during the financial year 1881-82, exclusive of the vote for the Geological Survey, which was £20,571 4s 5d, amounted to £319,454 10s 5d. MacLeod of MacLeod, who was appointed in 1874 chief executive officer at South Kensington of the Department of Science and Art, retired from the public service on the 2nd of December last. He had entered the department as Registrar in 1857. The Director for Science, Colonel Don- nelly, R.E., was appointed to succeed Mr MacLeod, retaining at the same time his former office of Director of the Science Division. Mr Poynter, R.A., resigned in September last the offices of Director of Art and Principal of the National Art Training School, which he had held since August, 1875. Mr Poynter's earnest sym- pathy with the educational aspects of art, and his position as a painter, gave a marked stimnlus to the work of the department in respect of art in- struction. We have appointed Mr Thomas Arm- strong .to be Director of Art, and Mr J. Sparkes to be Principal of the National Art Training School,. Mr Poynter consenting to give us the benefit of his advice, by acting as visitor of the school."

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— Liver, lungs, and kid- neys.—Most diseases of these depurative organs arise from obstructions, over the removal of which these celebrated pills exercise the most perfect control. A course of them is strongly recommended as a remedy for such chronic affections as liver enlargements, con- gestion of the lungs, torpidity of the kidneys, and other functional disorders which cause much present suffer- ina, and if neglected lay the foundation of organic diseases. Holloway's Pills are specially adapted for the young and delicate their gentle and purifying action ranks them above all other medicines.

CORRESPONDENCE. CARDIFF AND THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF 1883. TO THE EDITOR. SiR,-Several letters have appeared in the Eng- lish and Welsh press of South Wales lately sug- gesting the desirability of holding the National Eisteddfod of 1883 at Cardiff, and as the majority of the writers (beside numerous personal requests that have been made to us) have expressed a wish that we should move in the matter, we have de- cided to invite all that are interested in the movement to attend a preliminary meeting at the Crown Court, Town-hall Cardiff, on Friday night next, at eight o'clock. If it will be then decided to invite the eisteddfod to Cardiff. It will also be advisable to appoint two or three representatives to proceed to the meeting of the eisteddfod at Denbigh next week with a formal invitation. We trust that the friends of the eisteddfod will attend on Friday night in good force,—We are, &c., EDWARD THOMAS (Cochfarf), D. L. RODERICK (Rhydderch), Secretaries of the late Cardiff Eisteddfod.

THE PROPOSED UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. MEETING OF THE CARDIFF COR- PORATION COMMITTEE. In the absence* of the Mayor of Cardiff (Mr Alfred Thomas), Mr Lewis Williams presided over a meeting of the University College Commit- tee, held at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Tuesday afternoon, at which there were amongst those present the Very Rev. Dean Vaughan, Dr. Edwards, Rev. N, Thomas. Mr F. Sonlcy John- stone, Mr Lascelles Carr, the Rev. Mr Edwrrds (chairman of the Newport School Board), Mr C. Lundie, Mr P. Price, Mr P. W. Carey, Mr T. Waring, Mr R. Davies, Mr Thomas Rees, Mr William Sanders, and the Town Clerk (Mr J. L. Wheatley). A list of names was sub- mitted by the executive committee, of gentlemen who in their opinion might be asked to frame a scheme for the conduct of the new college. After some discussion, the committee agreed to refer the matter again to the executive committee, requesting them to draw up another list for the same purpose, limiting the number of names to 12. A letter was read from Sir Edward Reed, K.C.B., M.P., referring to the interview with Mr Mundella, and suggested that efforts should be made to obtain subscriptions from aH parts of South Wales, so as to make the effort a widely spread one and that as early as possible Mr Mundella should be re- quested to visit South Wales, and deliver an ad- dress on higher education. The committee agreed that steps should be taken to carry out these sug- gestions. The Town Clerk intimated that, owing, to the amount of work required in connection with this committee, he feared he would be obliged to cease acting in the capacity of clerk for it. The committee, having strongly urged him to continue his services, and having intimated that his resignation would be a serious loss to them, the town clerk consented to reconsider the matter; and there is every reason to believe that his valuable services will be retained. Messrs Daniel Owen, Howell and Co. promise to give £100 towards the building, irrespective of site.

PEMBROKE DOCK COUNTY COURT. The monthly court was held in the Temperance Hall on Monday last, before his Honour Judge Beresford. THE PRICE OF A WEDDING CAKE.—William John v. Henry Ogleby. The claim was for JS1 8" for two wedding cakes, together with Is for a box. Mr D. Hughes Brown appeared for defendant, and called Jane John, who proved that the order for the cakes was given to their baker, Eli Shella- ber, who was in the habit of taking orders and executing them. Eli Sheila ber said the order was given him for the cakes at Tenby races, and the materials were supplIed by plaintiff, and the cakes made and delivered to defendant when he was at Pembroke. Henry Ogleby, the defendant, said that Shellaber owed him money, and he met him at Tcnby, when he offered to make the cakes as part payment of the money. The balance he promised to pay as soon as he could.—John Thomas proved delivering the cakes to Ogleby, but was told by Shellaber not to say who sent the cakes.—His Honour was satis- fied that the cakes were supplied by Shellaber according to the agreement he made with Ogleby, and gave judgment for defendant. LOST LUGGAGE.—Kelly v. Great Western Rail- way Company.—The claim was for £25 Us 6d, value of the contents of a box lost in its transit from Bristol to Tenby. Mr Lawrence appeared on behalf of the railway company.—Plaintiff stated that he and his two sons left Bristol on the 5th April last by the 12.30 train for Tenby, for the purpose of settling there, and took with him three or four boxes. He saw the box with the others labelled at the station at Bristol, and afterwards at New Passage, where he observed the lock of the box had been broken, and he then corded the box. He never saw it afterwards. He did not tell his wife about it at the time, as she was in delicate health. Mr Lawrence said when it was reported to his company they made a most minute investigation, but failed to find any clue to it.— His Honour said he believed the box had been lost, and must give judgment for plaintiff, but before he gave the amount he must first go through the list which plaintiff had given as the contents of the box, and probably he would be able to send the registrar of the court the amount of damages awarded in the course of a fortnight. A GENTLEMAN'S HOTEL BILL. —R. L. Gordon v.T. R. Williams.—This was a claim for an I.O.U. for £2 10s for keep and 7s lent.—Mr Henry Adams appeared for plaintiff, and Mr M. M. Thomas for defendant. Plaintiff's wife ap- peared, and said she kept the Commercial Hotel, Tenby. On the 23rd February, 1878, defendant was staying at their house for four days, for which a charge of £2 3" was made, and when he left he borrowed 7s, and gave an I.O.U. for £2 10s. She had not got the I.O.U., as she had mislaid it since last Thursday, when she had it from the county-court bailiff. The bailiff, in answer to his Honour, said he had the I.O.U. for £2 10s, which he returned to Mrs Gordon. Defendant, who is an independent gentleman, residing at Jameston, near Tenby, denied giving an I.O.U. for £2 10s, but had given one for 5s. He had never received any bill for what he owed Mr Gordon.—His Honour was satisfied an I.O.U. for £2 10s had been given, and gave judgment for that amount, with costs, the .pro- ceediugs to be stayed until the 1.0. U. is found. R. II.JMIREHOUSE, ANGLE, V. THOMAS RCSSELI, YEUBESTON.—This was a jury case, the action being to recover J317 13s, being J39 15s lid bal- ance due according to an agreement with regard to a rick of hay, and J37 17s Id for 65 couple of rabbits at 2s 5d per couple. Mr Arthur Lewis (instructed by Mr Gilbertson) for plaintiff, and Mr M. M. Thomas for defendant. The jury, having considered the evidence brought before them, retured a verdict for the hay as weighed, and allowed Is 4d per couple for the rabbits caught, with costs.

STEAMSHIPS IN FOGS. Mr C. R. M. Talbot, M.P., writes to the Daily Telegraph :—A perusal of your article of August 12, refering to the recent wreck of the German emigrant ship Mosel, on Lizard Point, induces me to submit the following remarks :—. I passed this headland a few hours after the Mosel ran on the rocks, and can bear witness that the weather was fine, the sea quite smooth, and as far as five or six miles the horizon was clear. But it often happens in the case of promontories on our Western coast that partial fogs envelop them for a while, and it appears that when the Mosel w-as nearing the Lizard one of these fogs de- scended, and hid the outer end of it from those on board to whom the coast had been for some time distinctly visible. The stranding of the ship was clearly in no respect the consequence of a failure to take soundings, of an error of the compasses, or of the too usual excuse—a mys- terious current. But my object in addressing this letter to you is to call public attention to the dangerous and reprehensible practice of the trans-Atlantic steamships of proceeding through thick fog at the speed of fourteen and fifteen miles an hour. As far as my experience goes, the Channel steam- packets always slow their engines during thick fog; not so the Atlantic ships, it would seem. When the Brest was lost four years ago, near the same spot as the Mosel, she was steaming at full speed, and had an unfortunate fisherman or coaster been in her track she would have annihi- lated it without herself feeling the shock. The Vanguard, again, .was sunk off the Irish Coast, owing to her consort maintain- ing full speed in a fog. And here it would not be out of place if I tell the story of the collision of a large steamship now discharging in this port, and which was, singularly enough, twice in col- lision on the same day, in consequence of thick fog. The steamship Free Lance, with 1,800 tons of coal on board, bound for Alexandria, was run into bv another steamer proceeding in the con- trary direction. Her bows were completely smashed, and she was only prevented from sink- ing by her collision bulkhead. While endeavour- ing to ^strengthen this, so as to enable her to keep afloat till she could reach Falmouth, she was a second time run into by a large steamship, fortunately escaping further serious damage. The occurrence took place only a few miles from the Lizard, and happened the day subsequent to that on which the Mosel was lost.

At Brentford petty-session, Frank Baden, a City clerk, residing at 1, Cromwell-villas, Ux- bridge-road, Ealing, was charged with stealing a purse containing J212 10s in gold, and some bills and memoranda, the property of a lady who gave the name of Ellen Ashton, Ealing. tMr Abraham, barrister, appeared for the prisoner, and argued that, inasmuch as the prosecutrix was indisposed to sign the charge sheet or give evidence, he knew. of no law to compel her to do so. because the prisoner had been apprehended at Cardiff on un- official information given to the police by her in rather a hasty and unguarded moment. The in- formation, he said, should have been written before the police acted upon it. The objection was overruled by the bench, who called upon the prosecutrix to give evidence. The lady was then sworn, and, sobbing at intervals, gave evid- ence. She said that the prisoner was her nephew, and went to her house some time ago, and stayed with her for two or three days, during which time she frequently advised him to go to his father and arrange certain matters with him. He declined to do so, and when she returned to the dining- room from attending the door, she found that her purse, which she had left on the table, and the prisoner, whom she left in the soom, were gone- Subsequently the prisoner was apprehended at Cardiff, and admitted taking the purse, which, he said, contained only £ 8 10s, and when searched only 7^d was found upon him. Mr Abraham stated that the young man had no doujt squan- dered the money. The prisoner was committed to prison for three months.

CRICKETT"" AUSTRALIANS v. AN ELEVEN OF ENGLAND. On the county ground, Derby, this match was re- sinned on Tuesday, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators. The weather in the morning was wretched, wet, and dull, and only ten minutes' play took place before luncheon. In that time the Australians lost one wicket. When the game was continued, at ten minutes to three, the weather had turned bright and fine. Bannerman was bowled after scoring 3, bat on Murdoch joining Jones a very stubborn resistance was offered to the bowling. The wicket played somewhat falsely, and the batsmen scored very slowly. Several changes were tried without effect,although each batsman should more than once have been caught. When the score was up to 136 Jones was clean bowled for 9 patiently played and invaluable 50. Just afterwards Murdoch was finely caught by the wicket-keeper for a splendid innings of 70, including five fours, four threesL four twos, and 28 singles. Massie was soon got rid o £ and then Horan and McDonnell played out time The following is the score of the day's play :— AUSTPALIANS.-lSt III-,IillaS. T. W.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT. MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—Notwithstanding the hardening character of the Liverpool cotton market, the tone here continues quite subdued, and in no direction is there more than a very limited business doing in either yarns or^cloth, whilst prices are with difficulty maintained at last Friday's level. Quotations generally remain unaltered.

MINERS NATIONAL UNION. POWDER v. LIME. We have been requested to print the following circular:— To the Miners of the United Kingdom. Gentlemen,—When all that science and care can do have been done, the work of a miner will still remain hazardous and dangerous. The sub- terraneous and uncertain character of the work surrounds it with difficulties, and tends to increase the number of acci- dents, both of a fatal and non-fatal kind. Those who work in mines,. however, have a right to expect those difficulties and dangers reduced to a minimum, by the use and establish- ment of all modern and scientific appliances and customs. It is very generally be- lieved that one prolific source of large mining disasters has been, and we fear is, the too common use of blasting powder. Its almost indiscriminate use has been again and again condemned by our best authorities on mining matters. The difficulty presenting itself has always been, what to substitute in its place, in order that coal might be produced in a marketable condition. That this was, and is an important consideration, no one cognisant of our present severe competition will ever think of denying. To meet the difficulties arising from the use of powder, many things have been tried, but appa- rently all have failed, until one which is now being practiced in Derbyshire, and which has been a thorough success. Some time ago it was deemed advisable to abolish the use of powder at the Shipley Collieries, the property of Mr Mundy, of Shipley Hall. When powder was abolished, wedging was resorted to, and for the extra work caused thereby there was paid to hewers or getters 4d per ton extra. As a matter of course this set to work the inventive genius of the managers, the result of which was the patent- ing of a most successful process of getting coal by compressed or consolidated lime. As we had re- peatedly condemned a too-common use of powder, we deemed it our duty to call a meeting at the colliery, and see the process for ourselves, providing the owners would allow us to do so. Major Paget Mosley and Mr Sebastian Smith were communicated with, and they, on behalf of Mr Mundy, most readiand courteously asked us down to see the process in operation. We attended the Shipley Collieries on Monday, June 19th last. We went down the pit in com- pany with Mr Mosley, Mr Smith, Mr Moore, the resident manager, and others, and made direct to the face of the long-wall workings. We found about 30 yards of coal ready holed underneath. Tho drilling was being proceeded with, although we were in time to see several holes put in. The drilling is done by a small hand-worked machine, and although the drilling is three inches in dia- meter, a man can drill three feet in six or seven minutes. The work is done both easily and quickly. When the hole is drilled and cleaned out, a per- forated iron tube, with a calico covering, is in- serted at the top portion of the hole, and then the lime cartridges are put in. The car- tridges have a groove, so that they run along the tube. After a sufficient number of cartridges are put in, the tamping is done, and a small force pump applied, so as to force the water to the back portion of the hole, and round the whole of the lime. The holes in the Shipley hard seam" are about six or seven feet apart. In many cases they might be put further apart. Spraggs are used. The shots were all ready at one time. The insertion of the water began at one end, and proceeded very quickly indeed. The water was not inserted into the first hole more than a quarter of a minute before the process of tearing commenced, and in a very short time the spraggs were dra.wIj. and there was down ready for send- ing to bank, about thirty yards of coal, in almost one unbroken piece. The cartridges are made at the pit by an ex- t •ernely easy process, and do not cost more, and in many cases, would cost much less than powder. The cartridges are made from finely powdered lime by hydraulic power, at a pressure of about forty tons. These engines are easily erected, and cheaply worked, and the using of the lime is both simple, safe, and effective. We have no hesitation in pronouncing the use of lime in long wall working at Shipley Colliery a complete success and, we have no doubt that what will answer there will also answer in the long wall at other places. It may also just as easily be worked in wide boards where the coal is nicked or cut up one side. Neither have we any doubt as to its effectiveness in stone caunches. The only doubts we have are with respect to winnings or headways, and stone drifts, and so far it has not been tried in such places.

THE NEW EDUCATION CODE. The discission on the new education code has long been practically at rest, for almost all in- terested in the question are now thoroughly per- suaded of the bona fides of the Education Depart- ment in respect of the important change that code is to bring into operation next spring. If, how- ever, there has lingered anywhere an uneasy feeling lest the interpretation the department might put upon the conditions of the code should limit the benefits seemingly secured by them, such uneasiness will be entirely dispelled by a careful examination of the document just presented to Parliament, entitled, Circular to her Majesty's Inspectors, England and Wales." In this docu- ment, which is signed by the permanent secretary of the Education Department, the public are afforded an insight into the actual and practical working of the new system and it will be a real satisfaction to most of the, friends of elementary education to observe with what precision and yet with what considerateness and fairness to all parties the inspectors are instructed as to their duties under this code. First and foremost, timid children, nervous teachers, and anxious managers are to be pro- tected against the possibility of their suffering any injustice through the unpunctiuilitv, haste, or impatience" of her Majesty's inspector, for that official is strictly enjoined to be early in at- tendance at the school, to avoid trying to do two things at once-e.g., giving out exercises to one class while hearing the reading of :another-to abstain from keeping the children under examina- tion till too late an hour, and otherwise to embar- rass the younger scholars by any want of clear- ness in his questioning. It is not, however, in- sinuated that the evil thus to be remedied is very widespread, for, on the contrary, the inspectors as a body are highly complimented for the great courtesy, patience, and industry with which almost always they have discharged their office. Uniformity of Standard in the examinations is at last to be strictly provided for. Some of the provisions for securing this object will appear below, but hero two or three general ones must be distinctly specified. 1. There will be in all cases of real or apparent hardship" an appeal from the "district" inspector to the department, and thence to the" senior" inspector of the district; aud although past experience docs not warrant the conclusion that many such appeals will ever have to be made, the fact that so simple a mode of redress is officially provided will act beneficially upon the mind of a young, inexperienced inspec- tor, and lead him to avoid even the semblance of haste in arriving at his judgment upon a school. 2. No new inspector will be appointed to any district until he has passed through some course of special training for his office. This is a most desirable change, and will conciliate teachers and managers on a change of inspectors almost more than any other provision that could possibly be devised. 3. Not only will the" senior" inspec- tor who is set over each separate "district" ex- ercise a general control over all the inspection work of that district, but that experienced officer will hold" occasional conferences" with his "subs. with a view to compare sums set, dicta- tion passages, questions proposed in the class," and "specific" subjects, &c.; and once a year all the "senior" inspectors will meet in solemn con- clave to compare notes and modes of operation, and in this way to secure that the education code shall not be administered in one fashion in Mer- cia, and differently in Wessex. The principal aims the Education Department kept in view in revising their code were the sim- plification of the conditions of future grants, and the thoroughness to be attained in the work done in elementary schools. How it is proposed to secure these results in respect of infants under seven years of age may be briefly explained. The inspector will have to examine individually in the three R's the children apparently above six together with a sufficient" number below that age, the object being to ascertain whether those elementary subjects are being properly taught. Poor little babes It is earnestly to be hoped that no inspector will be allowed to engage in this task who cannot speak the simple language "un- derstanded" of such very juvenile examinees. Further, the whole school will be examined as to singing and needlework—the requirements for singing by note" are to be set forth in "subse- quent instructions," and it is much to be desired that some practical teachers should be called in to assist the department in drawing up these require- ments so as to ensure that no more is demanded of children than can reasonably be expected for their age, and that both of the recognised systems of teaching should have equal treatment at the hands of the authorities. The discipline of the school will next be looked into, and some inquiry will be made to see (1) if simple conversational lessons on objects and on the phenomena of nature and of common life are systematically given, and (2) if proper provision is made for appropriate and varied employments." Lastly, the time- table is to be overhauled to discover what portion of each day's work is undertaken in each class by the head or some other adult teacher." All this being done, the inspector is to classify the school as fair, good, or excellent upon this most asily understood scale. If less than half the children examined pass in the three R's," or if the infants are left to the sole charge of a monitor, the school will be ranked as below fair, and so will earn no merit grant if over half the children pass in the three R's," if the discipline and singing are fairly good, and if one of the two re- quirements—(1) or (2) specified above-is fairly fulfilled, the school will be adjudged fair if both of the requirements—(1) and (2)—are fairly satisfied, and with singing and discipline satis- factory, three-fourths pass well in the individual examination, the school will rank as good while if all the requirements are thoroughly well satisfied, the school will be classed as ex- cellent. So much for the infants, and now for the chil- dren over seven years old; The arrangements for the examination in the standards are made par- ticularly definite and simple. Pirst, the ques- tion as to the expenditure to be incurred for read- ing-books (or readers, as our highest educa- tional authorities, in spite of Dr Whewell's shade, dare to designate them) is very happily set at rest. All standards must have one ordinary reading-book—the one now in use will fulfil the requirement—and, in addition to this, in all standards above the second there must be a historical reading-book, and lastly, the geographi- cal or scientific text-book will count as the third reading-book (to be replaced, if preferred by an ordinary second reading book in the two lower standards). "Robinson Crusoe,"or any other such inexpensive book may be used (and that by pre- ference on the part of the Education Department) as the ordinary reading-book above Standard IV; and a single play of Shakespeare or a single book of one of Milton's poems will satisfy the requirements for Standard VI. and VII. But how will reading be tested ? In Standards I. and II. but little examination will be made into the subject-matter of the reading-book, although it will be regarded as a serious fault for a child to know the book so well as to read it off with only occasional glimpses at the page. In Standard III. all shorter words of irregular "nota- tion (spelling probably is meant here) must be read off without difficulty. But in all the stan- dards, especially the lower ones, the meaning will be asked, not so much of individual words, as of phrases and short sentences. This regulation proceeds upon sound principles and will tend to redeem reading from being the intolerably mechanical work it often degenerates into. Writing and spelling, although so very different the one from the other, still count as one subject; and, spi ..king generally, failure in either part means failure in the whole subject. A truly scientific code would separate the two parts and adjudge half the grant for a pass in either but this circular cannot, of course, go beyond the code which it explains. Happily, however, it does show how excellence in one part may atone for slight defect in the other. Writing is every- where to be bold and legible," atad in the higher standards "running, free, and symmetrical." Spelling must be so far good as to have only four errors in ten words for Standard 1. five errors in the dictation (from which all merely catching or puzzling words are to be absent) of Standard II. will involve a failure in Standard III. five errors are to be counted as failure, but very fair writing is to make up for one misspelling; while in IV. fair writing with only three misspellings will be reckoned a pass. The story for composition in Standard V. is to be more than 15 lines, and to have some obvious point or simple moralbut accuracy in spelling or good handwriting will not be accepted in place of intelligence in repro- ducing the story; and the "letter" in Standard VI. must be grammatical and contain a few simple observations on a subject of common and familiar experience, while the essay" in Standard VII. must show something of structural character and arrangement. It is especially provided that in all dictation exercises the teacher may, if he wishes, read over the passage chosen to the children before it is dictated by the inspector. It is so far un- fortunate that in the instructions respecting arithmetic, the attention of the inspectors has not been drawn to two foot notes in the Code, enjoin- ing (1) that an easier test should be set to girls in this subject; and (2) that children may at the inspector's discretion be examined in a lower standard of arithmetic than in reading or writing. The first of these, if properly worked, would meet the objection that, as girls have to spend so much time every week in needlework (this Circular" names four hours a week as a rule), they cannot be expected to be as proficient as boys in arith- metic while, by the second, an inspector who notes the failure of a. particular child in any year in arithmetic may make that child repeat the past year's work again before attempting to take up the higher arithmetical subject of the following year. And, once more, while mental arithmetic is excellently defined to be not mere legerdemain in "dozens and scores," but mental calculations in all the ordinary rules of arithmetic, small num- bers only be given; and while it is prominently suggested that the dimensions of the playground, school-room, desks, &c., shall be thoroughly taught to the children as a help to such calculations, the result of the examination in mental arithmetic is neither to count towards the pass in arithmetic, nor to be taken into the account in assessing the merit" grant. It neither blesses nor bans; query—will it be very heartily taught if nothing depends on its results ? One or two very good directions must be mentioned :—(1) Right method and good figures and neat arrangement are to counterbalance a slight error in one sum, and two sums in all will save the pass (2) while rule of three by the method of unity "—that is, by simple division and multiplication—is required for Standard V., a sum in that rule worked correctly upon any other method is to be accepted as fulfilling the requirement of the code. The "class "come in for a considerable amount of explanation and instruction. And first, as to the grouping. When there are no morthan 30 children in the upper division, they may all be taught as one class; but with more than this num- ber there must be at least two groups. Un- happily, in the lower division, there must be as many groups as standards—a very difficult rule to carry out in a small village school with only perhaps a single teacher for all the work. Possibly here the workers will be better than their system, but, if not, many small schools will perforce have to be content with taking up one instead of two "class" subjects. Next, what will constitute a fair," and what a good pass in one of these subjects ? The rule is explicit enough on this point. When three-fourths of the candidates prove that they have been well taught, the sub- je# yiiy looked good* wbea » s it will rank as ftir but anything worse than this will be failure. The examination is to be oral below the fourth standard but it may be carried on with written papers in all higher standards. The teacher may be asked to assist in the oral examination. Lastly, as to the subjects, great stress is laid on the English subject, and it is pointed out that the mere terminology of English grammar is not what is chiefly to be taught, but the teacher's object should be to enlarge the learner's vocabulary, and to make him familiar with the meaning, the structure, the grammatical and logical relations,and the right use of words." And, as to the lines of poetry which are to be learnt by heart, the greatest latitude of choice is left with the teacher, and the subject is to be considered as satisfactorily done when one- fourth of the children in each class have each re- cited a few lines (presumably without grievous mistake) in succession. It is nowhere stated in these instructions that English is to be one of the two class subjects taken up. Possibly the omis- sion paves the way for a very trifling but most acceptable change in the code of 1883, whereby the choice of subjects is left absolutely open. In respect of geography and elementary science, nothing of much importance is stated, except that where the text-books used do not exactly cover the ground of the syllabus in the code, the fact of the examination being well passed is to be considered as a sufficient fulfilment of the code requirements. One very useful suggestion is thrown out—that the meridian line (the line of the sun's shadow at midday) should be permanently laid down on the floor so as to indicate the points of the compass in the school. The directions as to needlework are almost ex- haustive in their precision and number; and if the housewives of the next generation are not a good deal more expert at the needle than those of the present time, it will not be the fault of the education code, or of the inspectors' instructions. The actual working of certain sewing or knitting exercises in the inspector's presence is a new re- quirement, but one which will tend to keep all parties well up to the mark for, unless each individual child is well taught, the sample called out to show the results of the teaching may fail to win any part of the new grant offered for this subject. On the "specific" subjects, the "circular" now under review starts with two very good points :—(1) In ordinary circumstances the scheme of elementary education may be con- sidered complete without these higher subjects and (2) their introduction is not intended to be an encroachment on the province of secondary education. It is also stated that in a small school where there are very few children to go on with the subjects, the managers would hardly be justi- fied in permitting the teacher to give the time re- quired for them, and thereby to deprive other children of their share of the teacher's instruc- tions. If these principles are uniformly kept in mind there will not be many cases of an absence of the liberty to indulge in these higher subjects. Another novel suggestion is made that a special teacher thoroughly qualified for the work might devote his time to giving the necessary instruc- tions in these subjects in a group of schools—thus setting the regular teachers free from doing more than supplement the lesson thus given by oral examinations and written exercises. A word on the merit grant must next be said. It must be premised that deductions may still be recommended by the inspector for special faults in discipline and organization," so that a really bad school may not only get no merit grant, but also be mulcted of one or more tenths besides. But a school of humble aims, where the work is conscientiously done and is sound as far as it goes, and where there is not a preponderance of in- different passes, preventible disorder, dulness, or irregularity, will beclassel as fair. To rise to good, a school must not only have made a satisfactory number of passes (the precise percentage is not given), but the passes themselves must be satisfactory ones, one "class" subject, at least, must be well done, and the organization, disci- pline, tone, and general intelligence of the school must be such as to deserve commendation. An excellent school is most graphically described in the circular," its chief notes being cheerful and exact discipline without noisy demonstration of authority, cleanly and well-ordered premises, a judicious time-table, teaching well distributed among all the scholars while being also animated, interesting, thorough and accurate, the reading fluent, expressive, and intelligent, the reasons of arithmetical processes understood, the learner trained to exercise not only memory, but also thought and observation, home exercises well carried out, arrangements made for a library, savings' bank, and a museum of simple objects in the school, a right influence exer- cised on the manners, conduct, and character of the children; and the homily appearing in the old code enjoining on children obedience, con- sideration, and respect for others, and honour and truthfulness in word and act finds a place as a footnote in these instructions. As to punishments, the "circular," while depre- cating all unnecessary resort to capital punish- ment, directs that only the head teacher shall administer such punishment, and an entry of each case of its administration is to be made in the log-book. It is most important that monitors and pupil-teachers and assistants should leain to con- trol their tempers and never dare to give a "box on the ears," or any other petty punishment of the sort, but to reserve all cases of difficulty for the head teacher to dispose of them. The question of registration is a large one; but the chief of the requirements under this head may be very briefly summarised as follows :-(1) No child absent from school less than six consecu- tive weeks may have its name removed from the school register, except in the event of death, or of known removal from the school or neigh- bourhood. But six weeks of absence would ordinarily be followed by the removal of its name; (2) every attendance marked must be allowed to count; (3) a separate attendance-book must be kept for half-timers (4) the manager must pe- riodically verify the attendance registers-e.g., by actually entering the school and calling over the names, to see if the entries correspond with the children present, at least once a quarter (5) the managers' return must show separately the admissions and re-admissions for each of the two halves of the school year; and (6) every child whose name is on the school books must be pre- sent on the day of the inspection, and every child whose name has been on the registers continuously for the last 22 weeks of the school year must also be presented for examination, with only these ordinary exceptions—(1) infectious disease at home; (2) storms (3) unavoidable absence from home (does this include being lawfully at work as a half timer ?) (4) a death in the 'family and (6) the scholar having left the neighbourhood. But in what circumstances may a child be withheld from the examination, although present on the day ? No mere irregularity of attendance—which ought, of course, to be prevented by the local authorities—will be a valid plea for such with- holding, although delicate health, prolonged sick- ness, obvious dulness, defective intellect, and temporary loss of the power of hand or eye will be accepted as sufficient excuses. Failure in two subjects in a former examination will justify a child being presented a second time in its former standard and a child coming from another school, if over ten years old, must generally be presumed to have passed Standard III. This last instruction is the only instance in which age and standard are considered together in the "circular," and even here under proper explana- tions the inspector is permitted to examine the child in a lower standard. In order to secure pupil-teachers from being overworked in school, it is suggested that the tirne-table should be so so arranged as to set assistants free for private study for any school hours exceeding 25 in the week. An extra half- holiday a week would be both a better and an easier solution of the difficulty. Evening scholars are allowed to take up for their first year the standard they last passed in the day school. This is a great boon. In excep- tional circumstances they may even be put back two standards. But ordinarily they must pro- gress like day scholars and no night scholars can be examined below the third standard. A single word will fitly close this review. If the instructions here set forth are honestly kept in mind by all local authorities, and if especially the arrangements devised for securing uniformity of examination throughout the whole country are heartily acquiesced in by every grade of officials from the department" downward to the hum- blest inspector's assistant, there is little doubt but that the code of 1883, will work far more smoothly and produce far better results than any which have yet had to be reported by successive vice-presidents of the Committee of Council on Education.—Times.
