EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

I'm; monthly meeting of this body was held last night in the Wclleslcy-strect School room. Present: Messrsll. Worthington (C'hairmnn), Mason, iluiTison,Loonar;l,ScpU, McArtlmr, Bailey, Bindou, Heath, Crau well, Hoskins, Hart, Philips, Sinclair, Mrs Skoon, Mrs ('ran well, Misses Sinclair, Longinore, Morrin, Edwards, Howard, Umsden.Thompson, Mogonie, Grcatbateh. and Brown. . Stanhakij Kxaminatidn:;.—Tlic ( hair man, in opening the proceed ing.viid Unit they wen; mot to consider the papur read n month sineo by tho Rev. K. Somei-villo on " Stundards."' Since they had I mil Lho oppoiliiiiily of seeing tliat paper in |>niif, they had been bettor able to appreciate it. lie \v:i? "lad to pco from the ednentional periodicals and from the daily pops that tlic question was receiving .ittent ion outadc the mere .scholastic oirclo. lie was quite fiiiro, thoreforo, that their criticisms and ro mnrkuwerolienriiiKKOodfi-nit.. Inthopapcrs Hint had boon given to (ho pupils of the WellOHloy-stveot School during the prevent week he'had boon able to find very littlo with which ho could not ngreo. The ques tion.H had been lor llio most |>arfe real schoolmasters' questions. They wore nol mere .■ul(;inpts In liud out what thochildron dill nol know, bill honest endeavours, nnl only to ascertain what knowledgo lho children had gained, bullbo kind of tench in« which had been given in tlio school. Tl'ioro could bo no doubl that this result was largely dm; to tlio cH'oct of roeonl. cii.tici.sjn upon tlic minds of the Inspectors. Altogether, they might congratulate them selves on their prosotit portion, and also look forward with hopo to tho future.—Mr ,1. L. Scott (Avondalo) agreed with Mr Sommervillo that these examinations wore v kind of stock-taking, tho aim and object of which should bo to find out tho result* of the year's teaching and the .status of the pupils, Jlo thoroughly coincided with tlio views oxpoundud ill his excellent book by Mr Uurrie, an author with whose writing!) the teachers were doubtless well acquainted. He thought with him that there was too much memory work in tho school routine, to the neglect of tho child's other qualities. Tlio ell'ect was that the child's mind became a mere repository of facts, and the teachers .sank to the level of mcro machines. Ho heartily approved Ipf the book containing the instructions to teachers, rind this the more as it was op posed to tlio spirit of the standards by dis countenancing memory work. He con sidered tho history prescribed for Standard 111. too heavy, and objected altogether to the importance attached i:n mere dates and names, preferring rather to instil general knowledge of tho subjects to be taught. He did not think that the things to which he took exception emanated from the In spectors, but he wished them to see that the teachers were factors in the success of the grand movement in which they were all engaged. —Mr Hurt (Borosford - street School) on tho whole approved of the views contained in Mr Sominerville'fi paper, and thought, that it met the teachers' views. Ho dissented, however, from him in think ing that tlio teachers did care about the standards, and he felt that this interest would bo largely increased were tho com pulsory clauses put into operation. That was the experience at Home, whore children were exempted from attendance at school after they had passed a certain stan dard. It must be admitted that there was a necessity for some syntem of standards, as otherwise teachers would be apt to pursue favourite studies. This was tho besetting .sin at private schools. and as tho favourite studies generally proved to bo ornamental ones, such a. writing and drawing, the children would sillier in the material branches.—Mr B. M. C. Harrison (Heresford-stred School] felt it ungracious to criticise a paper ill the absence of its author. However, there was no help for it. lie was sure that all the teachers were under obligation to Mi Sommorvillo for the trouble and pains he had taken in the preparation of his paper, As for himself, he did not admit tho indis ponsability of cramming, and he did not think that tho end and object of a teacher.- work was to ]>ns< a high percentago oi pupils. The best-crammed pupils did not make the most successful teachers. Then was a necessity for the standards as res cuing the results from vagueness. Tho fact that children from the South could not be properly classed here .showed that our stan dards were in advance of those in the South. In the North tho children wore kept at fovei. heat in the anxiety to pass the stan dards, and the teacher's work was not pro perly assessed. Many children, in conso quence, failed lamentably through nervous ness. It was not fair that throughout the year teachers and children should be kept in a state of feverish excitement to secure a large number of passers and thus glorify the system.—Mr H. .Mason (Newton West) applauded the system of education that obtained in the colony, and the method of standard examinations. He considered that tho word "cram" had been abused. The " cram " which people felt to be pernicious was the learning of an array of ill-assorted facts, but whore the cramming was carried out judiciously under a proper system it was fruitful of good result. Standard IV, in geography was a mere enumeration of names, and a higher porcontago could bo gained by tho toachors who compelled tho learning of them than the teacher who taught rationally. It was tlio same with history. Children should rather bo taught to think, and their interest should be aroused by the entrance to each subject being made as enticing as jwssible. He approved of the "short period " system of history, and strongly censured the ask ing of trivial questions in tho examinations. They puzzled tho children to no purpose, and iillod the teachers with dread, inasmuch as they could not anticipate those surprises. Above all ho was convinced that standards to bo useful should be uniform.— Mr Hoskins (Mount Eden) did not think that he was in sympathetic accord on this question. Ho worked well within tho lines of the syllabus, but ho took oxcoption to Mr O'Sullivan's idea that the teacher was necessarily a " crammer," and tho examiner a "catcher." Ho approved of judicious cramming. He felt suro that if Mr Sominervillo's mothod of sotting papers wore adopted to-morrow it would fail; the •ystom which he condemned was the only successful one Memory work could not bo dispensed with, and dates and names would havo to bo loarnt now as horetofore.

Tonic: Sol-fa System of Sinoixc—Mr Cranwell road a carefully-prepared paper advocating the merits of the Tonic Sol-fa mothod of singing. It was in a great measure of a controversial character, inas much a» it was intended as a reply to Mr Heath's recent lecture wherein, ho cham pioned tho uso of tho movable doh. Mr Cranwell maintained that the Tonic Sol-fa method was easier to learn than the stall notation ; that it presented fewer difficulties : and that it was scientifically true. Tho teachers undor the London School Board had almost as a body adopted Mr Curwen's method in preference to the stall' notation, whilo thoso who had com menced with the latter had since seen reason to abandon it.—Mr Heath, in reply, denied that ho was actuated by any pre judice in the matter, and also claimed leave to speak with some authority on the Tonic Sol-fa method, inasmuch as he had taught it for 25 years. Ho had not spoken in his lecture of any such thing as tho staff notation, but merely of tho movable doh. He wanted Tonic Sol-faists to apply to this movable doll to the old nota: tion, and if it were done the results would soon manifest themselves. At present there was not a choir in tho city which could sing in tune without tho nid of the organ or harmonium. Ho had no sympathy with this ear system. Mr Cranwell ad mitted tho desirability of learning the staff notation, and thought that overy thorough Tonic Sol-faisfc would do so.—Mr Heath said the Tonic Sol-fa method was excellent for its alphabet and the movable doh, but it should not go beyond that. He promised to continue the subject on another occa sion, if thought desirable.

Dkxm: ati-s to THE Council.—The Chair man announced that the Council vroul'd meet in Wellington during January, and asked if two members would volunteer to go and represent this branch.—Mrßailpy proposal Jlr Neil Heath as a delegate.—Mr Heath could not Hay yet whether he would be able to go. lie proposed Mr McArtliui1 and Mr Wortliinyton as suitable delegates.—Mr McArthur said that it was absolutely im possible for him to go.-*-M<3SH's Scott and Harrison did not think that the delegates should bo asked to at their own expense. Their passages, at least, Mr Harrison thought, should be paid.—Mr Worthington offered his services as a delegate, apart altogether from the consideration whether or not lie was paid. He honed, however, someone would be found to accompany him, so as to guide, instruct, and take care of him.—Mr Harrison proposed Mr Bindon, and after some pressing he consented to go. Ho va.v, too, prepared to pay his own ex penses. —It was agreed, on the motion of Mr Mason, that the passages of those gonj tlemcn should be paid.

This concluded the business.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor: Sir,—Mr Blomfield, m ronlvin" to your criticism on liia picture of " The \Vreck of the Triumph," justifies hiu painting the hull of that steamer nearly black from stem to stern by saying that " Artists must paint things as they appear, notnstheyaro." I thoroughly and cordially ft .rree with him in that dictum, but at the Baine tirno must point out how Wonderfully Nature has diversified the human eyesight, with a view of preventing that weary mono tone of similarity between one picture and another which artistic, critics of the old school are po anxious to compel all artists and .students 1a adopt, or incur their high displeasure. 1 was on the steamer Waitaki at 1 lie same time as Mr Blomfield, and took a sketch or two myself; and, on reference to my colour note.-:, I see : " Hull, pale lead colour : middle portion, lead colour, a shade darker ; water line, pinky red/ If it had been sunlight, the colour might (in some positions) have appeared as Mr B. shows it, but it was a grey day, and there were there fore no deej) shadows to ullect tho local colour of the boat. My colour notes also say: "Cliff*, purely grey, .sparingly diversified with slight iron stains. Mr Blomlicld makes them a deep purple brown, a colour I have nowhere seen near Auckland, e.vcopt on the southern horn of McKay's Bay, noar the Lako Tukapuna, where reddish, igneous rocks crop out, .Surely Mr 1!. does not contend that grey rocks, on a grey day, would assume that colour, whatever colour thoy might assume under a purple sunset.—l am, &c, DouTOB Syntax.
