NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
WORK THE PEDAGOGICAL SOCIETY is DOING.
At meeting of the Maine Pedagogical Soce-
ty in October, 1881. the BEST Methods of In
struction in the Country Schools formed a
| prominent topic for discussion. The result of
the discussion was the appointment of com
mittees, whose object 1t was to take into con-
slderaion the whole subject of instruction in
the several general departments of language,
| mathematics, science and morals. Sub-com-
mittees have been from time to time appointed
| to consider certain branches of the work, and
up to the present time final reports have been
made by the committees upon reading and
| spelling, arithmetic and geometry and moral
instruction. These reports have been submit
ted to the Pedagogical Society and adopted.
and are intended to be an authoritative outline
OF the work in those departments proper to
schools of different grades, of the character of
the text books and appliances needed and of
the methods of instruction to be pursued in
order to obtain the largest practicable results.
1t is also expected that the committees on Eng
lish grammar and language, algebra, geogra-
| ply, history and natural science, and the spec
| ia committee on temperance nstrnctlon will
| report at the spring meeting of the society to
| be held at Bar Iiarbor next year in connection
with the American Institute of Instruction.
| These outlines of work will supplement the in
struction of the Normal schools. and when
| nnbished in the form of a handbook will he
| come of great value to the teachers of the
State. The Maine Pedagogical Society, which
has been prosecuting these researches, is unlike
