THE SCHOOL AT OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Seeing in the r<port of a meeting of the Cit? School Committee in yuur iesuc of the 30th instant that the Committee in- i tend to elxit the views of all the committees ' as to whetucr the age of five years or seven years is deMrable for admittauce to our public school?, I beg space for a suggestion respecting tin* matter, ■which appears to ma of grave importance, the expressed opinion of the Inspector of Schools being that the progress iv educa tion of chitdreu under 7 years of age in our schools is such that the advantage gained by them does not counterbalance the injurious tfl'tcts sustained by them in their physical nature, acid that, therefore, their attendance at ichool before that age must be looked upon a^ rather the reverse of beneficial to them. Then we have the opinion ot the Chairman of the Board of Education that the physical training ou;ht to be a primary feature in our educational system—that a | sound ph>sic;il education is Ihe only true b^sia of all education, Further, there are the opinions ot parents, the majority of whom would, I believe, deem v. veiy unde sirable to alter the school a^e from 5 years to 7 years. How far such a clunge would affect the discipline iv the schools, cau, of course, only be surui'sed, but it seems apparent that it would not act bensticially iv that respect, considering the want ot control exerci. eJ by many parents over their children in theie colonies. However, tlie opinion that the course ot instruction to which children under seven years are sub jected lo in our schools is injurious to their physical nature, coming fiom so high an authority, must comuiiad the greatest con sideration of all earnest minds." Theie are, probably, but a few who, having seen the manner in which infants arc instructed in our public tcboo's, would doubt the truth of the Inspector's opinion, and the evil to which he draws attention is such as to urgently demand a radical remedy. To change the school age from five years to seven year?, as recommended by the Inspector, would of course be a radical remedy, which also commends itself on the plea of economy, and the difference in edu cational result?, csprcially the reasoning faculties, would also b?, according to that gentleman'u report, but nominal. Bui when we lojk to the school houis of our public school system —25 hours per week - and compare the same to the school hours adhered to iv most parts of the Conti nent of Europe —82 hours per week — and then bear in mind that the Board of Education has the intention of devoting a considerable portion of these twenty-live hours for physical education- and H seems somewhat doubtful whether a school age, iroui 7 to 14 or 15 yea is, would be sufficient for the average pupils to successfully pass the six standards in oar public schools ; if not, the remedy cannot be deemed al together a desirable one. But there appears to me another way of getting over the diffi culty, , a remedy which would afford ih>.it all the different opinions in this matter could be consulted, and due cousideratioo given to them. The course of instructiou now accorded in our schools to children under sevenyears being injurious to their physical development, the best remedy would appear to be to alt(r the course of Instruction in tuch a manner as to make it beneficient to the physical development—to make, in fact, the educa tion of the physical faculties the primary object of their educa'ion during the nge of from five to seven years, and thereby carry out the intentions of the Board of Education in making the education of the physical faculties the basis of the education of the higher faculties. Perhaps at no time of life doe 3 the human ua'ure require a systematic education more than at the age of from five to seven years, andat no time are the majority of pareaisless able to afford the sjtne to their children. Their educational progress in other re spc-cts having, according to the Inspector's report,proved but nominal during this time, the children would not be losers in any respect whatever. Having accomplished a marked physical development in the child ren before they attained the age of seven ye^rs, the education of their higlier faculties need not be seriously affected by the physical training required after uuch de velopment. The system of Kindergartens now adopted almost everywhere at Home, aud initiated in Germany,was founded with tbe original object of affording the children a systematic physical development and im planting in their minds a sense of school discipline ; and the course of instruction ir the infant classes in our public schools should be to remocUled as tJ attain the same objects. It the Central Board of Education would in this way remedy tie evil to which the Inspector of Schools has drawn attention, the Board would meet the wishes of all earnest friends of the present educational system.—l am, etc.,

THE CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY DEBATE.

(To the Editor.)

Gil!,—l was very much surprised to see my name in print last night, and to learn that it was not the first time. Would yon kindly allow me space to put " Truth- Seeker," G. A, Brown, and the public'gene rally right in regard to the matter iv dis pute ? Pome weeks ago Mr Brown came to Helensville, for the purpose, as I under stood, of defending Christianity. I was not aware of bis real intention, co in good faith I consented to occupy tho chair at a meeting in which he said some very strong and rash things against what he called orthodoxy. After the meeting we were in the same' house, and discussed together subjects with certain results, I met and treated Mr Brown as a gentleman, and at his own re quest wrote to him to give an account of another meeting to be held here; and in the letter I added what appeared in your last night's issue as mine, I can not blame you, sir, tor publish ing, without my consent, a private communication ; but I have a strong feeling that Mr Brown has not acted as a gentleman in asking you to do co. The fault is greater as he uses it to answer an anonymous writer. My words standing alone are liable to mis interpretation, but viewed In connection with our discussion, our professed aims as teachers of truth, and his own admission that 1 had touched the weak point in his theory, they exhibit neither a boastful spirit nor any shrinking back such as would require "Truth-Seeker" to bring me to comply. Mr Brown promised to return, and in speaking to those who first induced him to come, I told them to give him to understand that I should oppose him the next time. As far as I am concerned, the matter remains than. But since Mr Brown has repeated the challenge, permit me to say I accept it, and am anxious to know when lie is coming to Helensvllle again. lam willing to dis cuss publicly the question of "Man's Nature" on his own ground, viz., "'lhat the Bible is tho Word of God;" and in order that the audience may follow, I ask that the revised version of the New Testa ment bo accepted as a correct translation.-— I am, yours, etc.,

THE CARTERS GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor.)

SIE, —It was sad to read " Newtooite's" letter in Monday's issue, The horses the carters in this city work is a disgrace to humanity. Frequently we hear of them going to work at live o'clock in the morning, and not returning home until from eight to nine o'clock at night. Such work is little better than white slavery. What opportunities have men so circumstanced to cultivate their higher natures ? What is home to them ? Some may say, well, if they don't like it, they cau leave it. Can they, Have they not claims upon them which must be met 1 Is it right to use their necessities by such ex action of toil ? We hear a great deal just now of religious emotionalism, our streets are vocal with hymn singing, and wo are glad it Is co, but some of this fervour, if directed into practical channels of brotherly kindness, would gladden tlio hearts of honest toilers. Let our leaciiog contractors! and carters consult together, and see if they cannot make a concession to their employees. If that is thought impracticable, let >omo one set the example, an additional hand for the stable, aad a little cooperative arrange ment, and the pressure would be removed. Surely we have soras Christian patriot with enough zeal of the right sort,, who will de monstrate their love to tha nosten, by caring for the interests of those frequently, and correctly spoken of as their brother man,—l am, #c, Sowsbbn Cr.ess,

PRESBYTERY OF AUCK LAND.

The following is the conclusion of ou r report of the Presbytery meetiDg held yesterday :—

Assembly Expenses.-The u>nal verbal reports or collections tor assembly ex Dfcß «i Were made. Tbe Key. T. W.Dunn « yjited that the collections hod not been made in his charge, an., sooner than ad trie instruction to enjoin r*guiarly uponhi. congregations the necessity of making them, lie would hand ia his resignation He had eight preaching stations to attend to, and if these instructions were to hp carried out he would have at every alter nate service to make the iojncclioo so that it would become a reproach that he was always craving for money, and this too, from a mixed congregation. The Key' J. Macky tjok stiong exception to the re^ marks of Mr Dunn and the conduct of his charge in ignoring the collections. Mr Dunn's duty was clear, viz, to obey the in. structions of the Presbytery, and the charge could not presume to select the schemes which they thought worth sup. porting.—Mr W, H. Madill did rot con tider the blame for the omission of the col. lection attachable to Mr Dunn, seeing that his predecessors Mr Forbes and Mr Kali loway had never made them.—The Key, Mackenzie I'raser considered the point was whether they were to be Independent or Presbyterian. If Prcsby eri an, the direction of the supreme body would have to be followed, however irksome <r unpleasant. The people of Pukekohe probably did not like to be dunned (he intended no pun) and the minister was averse to reminding them so frequently of their duty in the matttr, but it had to be done. A recusant congrega tion, might be proceeded against for contumacy. — ihe Itev. I? avid Bruce explained the law of the Church on the matter and pointed out the fairness of the levy.—The Key. T. Morrie followed in the same strain.—The Rev. T. w. Dunn re marked tbat tbe Key. Mr Sidey, in the Assembly, had made a similar statement as he had, and it had gone unchallenged. It wa3 therefore hard tbat he should be taken up so sharply simply because he wag a young man.- 'Ihe fiev. Mackenzie Fraser stated that Mr Sidey's remark met with uni versal condemnation,—The Key. j. Macky having corrected what he termed Mr Bruce'a faulty interpretation of the law of the Church, the subject was allowed to drop. Resignation cf Rkv. A. Thompson. -A letter was received from the Key. Alex. Thompson, resigning the pastoral charge of the Waiuku district. Mr Thomp. ion, who was present, said he had n» state* ment to make. 'Ihe Keva. McKenzie Fraser and Carrick pressed for the reasons being stated. Mr Thompson then said that the place did not agree with his health, while the people wished for a change and he did so also. The Key. 6. B. Mooro moved that the resignation lie on the table, »nd that the Waiuku congregation should be cited to appear in support of their interests at 11 a.m. on Thursday, the 30th iust., it St. Andrew's Church.—Agreed to. Supply foe mangonui.— &b Mr Mac clean's three month*' supply to Mangonui was on the eveof itacxpiry.it was agreed that the Clerk should telegraph to the Chairman of the Church Extension. Coinmi'ee at Wellington on the subject, statiog further tbat the Rev. Mr Sutherland was eligible for filling the vacancy. Mangafal.— A letter was received froni Mr McCracken, school teacher, Maugapai, desiring that he should be admitted to the ttudent curriculum if it would not conflict with his school duties, or if that were im practicable that he should be regarded aa an occasional preacher.—lt was agreed to request Mr McCracken to communicate with the Chairman of the Examining Board.

HAMILTON. — The Church Extension Committee wrote with reference to the inadequate remuneration of Mr Bey burn, Missionary at Hamilton, his stipend being only £100 per annum. The < Clerk had communicated ou the subject with the Rev. Mr Evans, of Cambridge, who wrote, promising to press the matter on the people. It was agreed to request Mr ■■''vans to continue his efforts to stimulate the people of Hamilton to greater liberality. Dispute at Pabeoa.—Tlie Key. 8. J. Neill, of (he Thames, wrote, forwarding a letter from Mr I- obson, of Paeroa, soliciting the Presbytery's judgment iv the dispute be'ween himseif and Mr Austin. They had disagreed over tho erection of a church at I'aeria, and[Mr Austin, having managed to get Mr tf obson depostd from office, matters ran to high that they at last found their \v»y into Court, when one of the disputants »\vas bound over to keep the peace. The matter was referred to a committee oonsUt in*i! of the Moderator (Key. D. W. JRunciv man) and Mr^Bel', to report upon,

Hklej»3Villb.— The plans of a proposed new Presbyterian Church at Helensvilla were received from Mr Hudson, and exhi bited. The timber and money being forth coming for its erecttion, the plans vvora approved^ Whan GAREi.—The Rev. R. Sommer ville was appointed Moderator of the) Whangarei Kuk Session, the Rer. D. W. Kunciman having resigned.

Suekky Hills V state.—The Moderator suggested the advisability of procuring a corner site on the Surrey Hills Estate. 1 hey had a site in Brown-street but it had been referred to the Property Committee, with a viewio exchanging it for a more con spicuous site. He thought the corner of Hep burn-street was the best position for a new church seeing that it was midway between St. James' and St. Stephen's.—-It was agreed that the Moderator should sco the Property Committee on the subject. Booth miorb.—lt was resolved to afford wbat assistance was possible in the way of supplying the North Shore until Mr McCallum has recovered from his. to udent, the Key. D. W. Bunciman undertaking to preach on Sunday next. The remaining business was private.

PRIMITIVE METHODIST SOIREE.

The anniversary soiree in connection with the FrlmitiTfl Methodist Church, Upper Pitt-street wai held on Tuesday evening and numerously attended. The school-room was tastefully decorated with mottoes and flowers, and although the visitors were more numerous than expected, ample pro vision had been made for them, The public meeting opened with praise and piayer. Mr X, McMaster presided, and gave an en couraging address. The Bey. J. Bill de livered a most earnest, practical address, in which he strongly urged the necessity for tlie continued use of such "old methods" as had been piovedsuccejsfuliu evangelising the masses. Mr Lsycock spoke of the Christian's duty to labour for such results as were requested ci God in prayer, and showed that true success could only result from a true practical recognition of the relation of prayer (and work. The Key. J. Guy, in a thougbful address, showed that great care was necessary In the first years of a church's history in order that a prosperous future might be .secured, as we always are what the past has made us. Be argued at some length upon the great law of con tinuity and economy found in all God's works. The Rev. W. S. Potter reviewed the work of the past year, and exhorted all the members of the church to consecrate themselves fully to the work. He then gave numerous illustrations from church history showing what great and beneficial results had followed individual effort. Mr Reid and Mr Turley proposed votes of thanks to the ministers for sermons on the past Sabbath, to the ladici for tea, and speakers for addresses. The dismissal hymn and Benediction brought a moat suc cessful anniversary to a close,
