      I Nnhis Number, Which Begins Our Fiftiet...

      I nnHIS number , which begins our fiftieth yearly : JL volume , is devoted in some measure to

      education . When the Publishers' Circular was first floated education could not have occupied

      the space in cataloguing demanded by the immense number of scholastic books which are

      necessary to-day . There is every reason to look with satisfaction upon the growing bulk

      of the educational numbers which we have the privilege of issuing twice a year ; for they ,

      in more senses than one , speak of progress in the solution of the two great problems :

      What to Teach , and How to Teach it . With all its present 4 h benefits in organisation *—^ , *" and in

      appliances , which many are prone to think perfect , teaching can never be an immovable

      science . [ Lately we took an opportunity of hastily

      reading the first report of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the working of

      the Elementary Education Acts in England and Wales , and were particularly struck with

      the evidence , which gave signs that the ultimate gain to educationists by the

      publication of the complete report would be very considerable . One particular point could not

      fail to fix the attention of those who are more especially interested in the books used in

      elementary schools . The point referred to was " * that , amidst all the disagreements and

      mutterings and complainings respecting the machinery of the national system , not a word was said

      ¦ agains wh ich t are the provided character for the qua successful lity of the advance books

      of the great crusade of knowledge . The existence of the Royal Commission is

      largely due to the growing feeling which sprang from the supposition that the national

      system has begun to push the voluntary system out of the field . The report recently published gives no indication

      re-•¦ ' , - ==

      V specting the views of the Commission ; * it

      contains evidence only , and that evidence belongs to matters administrative . Possibly ,

      when all the reports are published , we shall have a complete account of the state of the

      schools of the people . The evidence of a few of the elementary teachers themselves will

      doubtless add to the value of the testimonies of high officials . The editors of the chief

      scholastic newspapers should also be able to give valuable information ; and as to the

      literature of schools , some important hints might be supplied by the chief publishers of such

      works .
