The extreme position taken BY MI Thomp.
son was warmly attacked. All, however, were
severe in their structures upon the fote instruc-
ton, the asking of the printed question and
seeing that the pupil gives the printed answer,
which SO many teachers practice, seldom or
never going outside the book. With beginners
the instruction should be mainly oral-without
textbooks; with the advancement Of the pu-
pill the textbook should be used more and
more.

certificates Of. three grades are issued, one by
the State, one by the County, a third by muni-
cipal authority. While we in New England,
said MIR. p, once led in common school educa-
