in a portion of the. public schools Of that city,
and it will, doubtless, be extended to them
all. We hope that this step 10 but tho be-
ginping.of .. great reform throughout the,
country, and that the whole practice Of stuff:
ing the mind With mass of undigested mat
ter will be abandoned. An eager desire to
make a great show for the time or the money
expended is the most pernicioas vice of our ed.
ucational system; it leads to hasty slurring.

rapid mode iiofeteaching is that which re-
quires every lesson to be thoroughly master
ed and comprehended before it is passed by.
A scholar with this habit of study will soon
oVertake another who is far in advance with
crude and superficial notions of bis studies.
