pears to be full-of the conviction that
a great deal Of help, at least, can be
given to teachers in enabling them to
teach, besides, that most essential help
of all, which makes them masters OF
the subject matter. they are to .impart.
MI. JIG. Fitch is now delivering
lectures at Cambridge on the science
and art Of teaching, which are attend
ed by at least a hundred attentive and
ever eager hearers, about forty of
whom are women and sixty men. And
the first examination, in the theory,
history, and practice of teaching, is
now fixed for the 22nd and 23rd of
June, an examination which is to be
held at once in Cambridge and in
London. The subjects of examina-
ton are to be The best methods of
teaching and the reasons advanced
for one method rather than another ;
the best modes of training the memo
ry; the use and abuse of emulation
as a stimulus to learning ; the sanitary
conditions of school-life; the visual
and tangible apparatus for illustrating
such subjects, for instance, as arithme-
tic and geometry, and other kindred
matters. Doubtless after everything
is said, it will remain true that many
a man is an excellent teacher who
knows little Of the theory of teach
ing, and that many who know the
whole history of their subject remain
bad teachers; but that is equally true
Of medical men, and yet no one has
ever advanced it as a reason for not
testing the theoretical knowledge of
medical men.

DR.. G. w, Siemens gave a very
remarkable lecture at the ROYAL Soci-
ETY. on Thursday night, on the power
of the electric light over vegetation.
He had, he believed, shown by expert
ment that the electric light has the
same sort of influence ever vegetation
as sunlight but his most remarkable
conclusion is that plants do not APP
parantly need rest, that plants stimu-
lated by sunlight in the day, and by
the electric light at night, grow far
faster and make a no less good and
solid fibre than they would if subject
ed to light during the hours Of day
alone. If this be really established
it is a very remarkable confusion +;
but a it be true, that plants really
make root as well in thelight as in the
darkness : We thought gardeners had
long ago determined that question in
the negative. DR.. >iemens had also
satisfied himself that, "while under
the influence of the electric light
plants can sustain increased stove
heat without collapsing, a circum-
stance favourable to forcing by cleo
trio light.

The Bishop of Lichfeld, DR.. Mac

charge of heresy. If the report of
his recent charge in the Times can be
trusted he assured his clergy that the
Greek word translated in our Yer

relation to the penalties Of the future
stale, did not mean literally Send
less, bat only Every long,, and he
advised his clergy, not, indeed, to
keep back the darker teaching Of
Scripture ON this subject, but mot to
dwell too prominently upon it, We,

will d~isapper az 70 ,tsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think Of the great event OF
death until the shadow falls across their
own pathway. hiding from their eyes the
faces Of loved ones whose living smile was
the sunlight OF their existence. Death Ii
