"'. ■ The president ;n Jua annual address, paul that the past year had been one of fair progress iw the growth of th« institute, As to th,e concerns of the national edu.catiott it was admitted on aU aides that excellent work was being'done. few were now found bold enough to declare that our' State education was a failure. In two directions immediate improvement could and ought to be made —in that of irregular attendance, and the considerable number of neglected children who escape education altogether. All that part of the Education Acl which dealt with compulsion was bad and useless, and the time was ripe for a change. The duty of forcing th a attend ance should be handed over to the police, ag the. v eorftnutj.fleß ooijld npfc anfj y/ould nc4 spe tp it'; and ni eyery large* town tifjere' should be a special schoql for Neglected children. A (jhixuse ought to be made in the syatefliof annuil examination for pass or failure in Standard*, as the circumstanced under which the system came into being had passed away. In his opinion the teachers should be given more freedom in classifying and tea^ing incti i>bi» u >/io. m.v, uc|uureu. toe small nmnbaj 6{ wafea. among "&<} t«eaohers

The causes tlmb deterred yomu> men from entering and remaining, in. tho service were the poor pay, the fo\v good posi tions, the insecurity of positions, the constant criticisms, and the frequent vexatioas and humiliations that came upon most teachers. A vote of thanks was passed to the president for his address. After various Committees had been set up the meeting adjourned till to morrow.

COMMERCIAL.

(PERFBESS ASSOCIATION,)

(Received January 12, 1.25p,m.) London, January 10. Two failures have occurred in the London ccrn trade, the total liabilities being £200,U00.

The "Gazette" states that a complete specification for patent has been accepted from Mr ¥. W. Page, Chertsey, for an inven tion of a fencing staple; and a provisional application by Mr J. Keir, of Ashburlon, for an elevating fan for a threshing machine. Mr William Harding, of Flemington, writes to a contemporary:—"This morning I observed the accompanying dragon fly rmnce upon the bot-fly enclosed, and kill it, secured the two flies, thinking you may be j glad to linQvv that the bot-i|y has a natural enemy."' The fly sent by Mr Harding has been pronounced by Professor Hutton to be. A-filvs varius, one at t\\e robber files. It is a native of New Zealand, and attacks all kinds of insects.. A runaway incident to-day had the effect of knocking down a verandah post at ''The Corner," wtyere the building is going on of a new shop for Mr W. H. Collier. A four- f horse team with a heavy load of timber, coming out oi Collins and Go's, yard, boltod and took the verandah post mentioned in rounding the corner at Tancred Street. The post was levelled and a considerable portion of the loading scattered. The horses, however, were secured before further damage was done.

;. From lliu "Bali .1 Star" of Decomb r 20, we learn tlmtth" M.twi 1 ''no-otii.va.->" harvester has been ueoriug afc public trials in Victoria. In a private trial against the Hillside Buckeye it was the general opinion ot those present that the "no-canvas" machine was decidedly the better binder in all clases of work on the'hillsides. Chal lenges were made on the ground on behalf of the Masaey-Harris, and Woods open-back and Buckeye frameless machines, but after a postponement on account of web only the Wo""1s appeared on December 19 to oppose the Mjrcer. Tv trial vria at Mr Frank Alcoin s, Spring Mount. The crop which was a fairly heavy one, of about three tons to the acre, well intermixed with tares, had ripe, eJ a little, which made the cutting much easier. The ground was a little soft but not so much as to be against the ma-' chines doing good work. The greatest obstacles met with were the numerous i stones on the surface, which militated against extra low cutting. The portion of the hill cut was the steepest in this district, and great credit is due to the Mercer for the successful way in which it did its work. I This machine went several rounds with only one stoppage, not missing tying a single sheaf, cutting even, doing clean work, and making well-butted sheaves ; at the I conclusion of the trial Mr Alcorn purchased the machine. The Woods was unfortunate in not doing the work so well, missing tying several sheaves and choking every now and again. The trial was the severest ever held in the colony, and it goes to prove that the rake system used by the Mercer is more suitable than canvas used by other machines when sidelings have to be cut. The Mer*?r was driven by Mr I Charleston, farner, of Allandale, and ex perted by R. Purcell, whilst the Woods was J driven by expart Camecou under the [ superintendence of Messrs Quinlivan and Hunter.
