HOME FOR NEGLECTED AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—What ig required for the Home tor Neglected and Destitute Children is simply an addition t& the present building for the use of the boys only, completely separated, and having all the requirements necessary for the purpose, also, having strong rooms, or a place that would answer for the time being as a reformatory, all high fenced, and having no communication with the main building. This would be the means of classing the children and dealing more effec tively with the criminals, and preventing the possibility of future immoralities amongst them, and placing the institution under thorough, efficient management. The school should be under tho con trol of the master and matron, the boys and girls kept separate by ft division in the school building having an entrance at either end, and this would give a more complete authority. The whole outlay would not be much, and with the present ma»ter and matrons' management, no petty Interference, there would be confidence, and and no doubt success. If the Charitable Aid Bill be brought before the House the ensuing session, and becomes law, the rate payers and subscribers will be able to elect a competent board of management,—an in dispensible condition that will he directly responsible to thejn, and be a guarantee for future good management, than a self-con stitutedor voluntary body, that is respon sible to no one.-I am, &c, JWbiOHT)

EDUCATION AND EDUCATION.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—As so many appear to have but vague ideas of what education should be-judging by the applause given to Mr Firth for his magnanimous declaration ot what he thinks it should be (well characterised by Mr Jenton as indicating only a " dull level of dismal uniformity ")-ii you think it of any use you may give your read% s.. an °PP° r: tunity of knowing what ono of the highest writers of the present time says in treating of teaching, both by living masters and by Se words lift by the mighty ones who have passed away. Many, like Mr Firth, think the real end of all education is to lead to -advancement in life." "Itnever seems to occur to them," says Mr Ruskin, Ihat there may be an education which, in itself, is advancement in life ; that any other ft in the wrong." And Mr Firth would set about it in the wrong. For bis .ideas an, so saturated with the "dismal science '(cold andro entless as the Pentlaud Firth itself). 5.," ■ hT.° tt. eSs'M- "-"" *»"» am,&c,

THE HOSPITAL GROUNDS.

(To the Editor.)

Silt, —The baro aud bleak appearance of our Hospital grounds is a frequent theme of Auckland residents, aud visitors. How is it that boiuo Honour able Minister or Building Commissioner, with an eye for tho sublime and beautiful, has not discovered and reme died this Haw in the landscape '■? Mr Whit akcr, if I remember ri^ht, arranged the boundaries, aud carofully loft J sulli cient ground in the front of the building to bo planted with shrubs aud trees. Perhaps he will now now see to its being planted. The season is at hand, and the expense would not be ruinous. Whoever laid out and icleeted the shrubs within the Supremo Court enclosure, had less tastu than most of our g&rdenors. Would tho same individual undertake the arrangement of tho hospital grounds ? Two of tho Building Commissioners—Sir Maurice O'liorko and Mr William Swansou —are with us, aud I hope they will try to finish what they 80 well curriod out. A hint is Budicient, I hope, to ensuro the ro quisito attention to this very necessary improvement.—l am, &c,

A BUSINESS EDUCATION.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Some few years back, on the floor of the British House of Commons, Lord Sher brookc, then Mr Kobert Lowe, on a discus sion on University education, asserted the nselessness of high culture for the bulk of business people, stating that no |head of a firm would seek a practical manager among the Honour men of a University. Mr VV. H. Smith (head of the "Book stall" firm of world-wide celebrity as a masterpiece of successful management) then First Lord of the Admiralty, started up and said that he begged to stato that the last time that bis firm required a general manager, ho sought and found one amongst tho highest Wranglers in the University of Cambridge, became he was convinced that a mmd that I could be trained to such an eminent degree would readily grasp any details whatever either theoretical or practical. He added that the re.ult had fully justified his expec tations, the gentleman in question P rOJi nB to be not only the best manager that they had ever had, but also tho quickest .at grasping every detail of their multifarious business processes. I So much for the dictum of the editor of the " Herald " and Mr Firth, who seem to forcet that the result of true education is not'so much the retention of the # matter learned in its course, as the training tUo mind to habits of such close reasoning as to fit it for future usefulness in whatever sphere its possessor may afterwards be placed. .... ii I might conclude by-asking the gentle men to whom I allude "What becomes of all the graduates of tho English Uni versities? Church and bar certainly do not absorb the number (somewhere about 1500) annually sent fortn. Nor does literature make up the residue. If Mr Firth or the editor of tho " Herald should ever be in the city of London, lean tell them of several stools in merchants rooms, Insurance and Railway offices, and other such places of practical . business, where they will find these, according to them, prac tically useless men.—Yours, &c, One Not Personally Concerned.

' rf \Jf the mafclug of booss there is no end," \J wrote an inspired author in the infancy of tho world, thousands ot years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now is a very diflerent thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-daye the world is almost' em barras dcs rochoseea " of learning, " quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, »uch as Cassell, Pettier and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. . Not only are the. works issued by thefe firms of the highest practical use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of tho remarkable progress that has been made In book illumination. Nothing in our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home so much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea o£ a man from his library. The great difficulty with many in obtaining books of a high class in nearly overy depart ment of literature is the almost prohibitive price at which they are ißsued from the press, and it is really a boon to society when works of admitted excellence are brought within the reach of persons of moderato means by tbe admirable System of Time Payments.
