Educational Criticism,

deputation waited on the presi-
dert of the British board of educa.
ton some time ago to insist upon
this point; That the present system
OF education tended to fit the child
more for the life of clerk, and to
unfit him for rural and agricultural
life" And it might have been added
that not only does it fit him for the
life Of clerk, but it units him for
getting beyond that 1t has put him
through q system that has kept back
all tendency to develop any initiative
of his own.-Montreal Herald.
