EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE

EVENING SITTING.

Tiieee was a very largo attendance at the , sitting of the Institute last night. ; EDUCATIONAL SECTION IN* TIIC INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. j Mr White explained tho Government programme for the educational section of the "exhibition in Wellington. It would be under the control of the Institute. The Government would be glad to receive sug- ■ gestions. THE CONSTITUTION. Mr FITZGERALD, of Canterbury, said that ; the proposed amendments in the consti tution was the result of experience i and the adaptation of Scotch and Eng lish systems. The alterations were matters entirely all'ecting the cost of travelling and the difficulties of getting teachers to attend distant meetings. They should vote as distinct institutes, which might send their questions to the Council. He then moved the proposed constitution as printed. Mr Thomson* seconded. An amendment by Mr Stewart to ad journ the consideration of the proposed Constitution was lost upon the voices, and Mr Fitzgerald's motion for the adoption of the Constitution was passed. The Presides! congratulated the Insti tute upon tho achievement of this result. svix.usus or instruction in* public SCHOOLS. Upon this subject the following recom mendations had been received :—l. The desirability of making geography and history class subjects of examination. 2. That history and geography bo omitted from the pass subjects in schools where the he.id tcacher is unassisted. X (a) That history be excluded from the Third Standard, (b) That an individual pass in history and geo graphy be not necessary for a standard pass, and that these subjects be examined os class subjects, (c) That a teacher shall have the power of withholding from the standard examination any pupil who has not made 1500 attendances during tho school year preceding the examination. 4. That history in the primary schools should be like science, not a pass subject. Mr HEsriKRT Mason, in opening the de bate, expressed regret that the task had not been confided to a more prominent member of the Institute than himself. He then went on to enlarge upon the importance of the subject. One difficulty, he said, which beset all systems of national instruction was that of combining a rough approximation to uniformity with the greatest amount of flexibility in adapting itself to the diverse circumstances and habitg of mind. Perfection in anything was only reached by a series of tentatives, and here in New Zea land we were making good progress. All educational schemes must be tried by the light of mental science, and our present syllabus was faulty for the reason that it made too many concessions to the prejudices of thoso people who insisted upon tangible results for an L s d consideration. Education was now passing through a transition stage, • and present popular methods were doomed. Culture, rather than so much knowledge, was the great desideratum. One chief ob jection to tho present syllabus wits that the psychological order suffered in order to attain logical completeness. In tho initial stages all subjects should bo made as natural and at tractive as possible. Coming down to details, and taking tho grammar of Standard ,'t first, the work set could not bo considered excessive, but it was fragmentary, dealing as it did with only four parts of speech. It was also tech nical, consisting as it did of definitions which should instead grow naturally out of the facts taught. At first all words should be classified as describing words, naming words, telling words, and joining words, ' which if needed could be further sub divided. In history all events which did not como within the range of the children's sympathies and experience were an encumbrance, and in teaching

thoso that were chosen reasona should be sought for each event, and considerations balanced. Tho present teaching was desultory and shallow. For Standard .1, the examination should be oral upon a syllabus of work done prepared by the teacher for the Inspector's use. For the standards above 3, the Department should

prepare the syllabus, setting forth therein the point* which were considered most salient. In geography we objected to the preponderance of name-, physical g< ography being almost crushed out, while our own colony had been almost left out of sight. For Standard 2 . close study of the neighbourhood of the school should be insisted onj attention being also given to tho great natural divisions of the earth. Ability to draw simple objects should also be encouraged. The whole tenor of his re marks was a protest against these evils, viz.—(l) Aiming at breadth rather than depth ; ('2) a want of sympathy with child nature and of adaptation to the stages of mental development reached at given ages ; (3) tho substitution of names for things, and of names being taught bofore things. Mr Mason then moved: (1) "That in

tho opinion of this Institute a revision of the regulations defining the standards at an early date is desirable. (2) That it is desirable that the examination in history for Standard 3 should be oral, and that at the examination for this standard the teacher submit a syllabus of work done, and that if the matter comprised therein be considered sufficient, the inspector examine orally, confining himself to that syllabus, and that the department prepare a syllabus defining the salient events of each period. (,'S) That for the present requirements of grammar in Standard :".there be substituted the distinction of words, as naming words, telling words, describing words and joining words ; (4) that tho greater stress should be laid on homo geography and physical geo graphy, in order to give an opportunity for which some part of political geography might advantageously be omitted; (5) that in schools where the teacher is unassisted it ia desirable that Standards 3 to 6 should do the same work. These resolutions not being seconded,

Mr Geo. Hogben, M.A., North Canterbury,

moved, " That geography and history be made subjects for class examinations." As pass subjects they were very undesirable, and certainly conduced to no practical or good result. Mr W. Milne, M.A. (Otago), seconded the motion, and both he and Mr A. B. Thompson (Napier) said that geography and history were the most unsatisfactory of all pass subjects. They should simply be regarded and treated as class subjects. The Rev. T. Flavell (Christehurch) pointed out that they were so treated in England. Mr B. Bailey (Ponsonby) objected to the application of such a regulation to all standards.

Mr D. White, M.A. (Otago), moved as an amendment, " That history and geography should not be included in tho subjects nocossary for individual passes in tho standard exami'.ations, but should bo examined as cla.- subjects in the manner prescribed by c \n 7 of the Standard Regulations." Mr Hogben accepted this proposition in lieu of his own.

Mr B. Bailey (Ponsonby) proposed as an amendment " That geography and history be classsubjects below the fourth standard." After some further discussion, Mr White had recently stated his concurrence with the advisability of tho change embodied in the resolution now under consideration.

Mr Stewart objected to the extension of class examinations to standards 5 and G.

Mr Flood (Wanganui) feared that if history and geography were to bo treated much as class subjects they would bo either shelved or altogether ignored. For that reason he opposed the resolution. Mr Fearnlky (Nelson) thought that his tory and geography should be retained as pass subjects in the upper standards, other wise the quality of the answering in thoso subjects would deteriorate as soon as the children found that they would not all'ect the passage of the examination. The Rev. T. Flavf.ll, M.A. (Christ church), while seconding this proposition, preferred the form of Mr Whito s.

Mr Hogben*, M.A., strongly support.! the motion in a forcible speech, lie said that the hands of good teachers wero too much fettered by systems.

Mr Roberts (Auckland) considered that such a difficult subject as history should be expunged as a pass subject from the primary schools. Tho subject of geography would be better taught; but on the whole he was inclined to support the motion.

Mr Ralph Stewart (Thames) moved, and Mr Dickenson seconded, an amend ment upon Mr Bailey's amendment, " That the words ' fifth standard' should be substi tuted for ' fourth standard.' "

Mr Bailey and Rev. T. Fiavell ac copted this amendment.

Mr D. White, M.A. (Otago), again spoke in favour ot the resolution, and in doing so stated that the subject had been well con sidered in the South, and that the change indicated was greatly to be desired. The Otago inspectors had also expressed a hope that a resolution would be passed affirming its desirability.

Mr Bailey (Ponsonby) protested against tho abolition of geography and history as pass subjects, and in doing so he said that

it, had been whispered about that the Auckland representative should giveway on this point. . Mr Thompson, on behalf of the Southern delegates, strongly asserted that no such feeling exi-ted among them. They had no jealousy as against the North, and if any had existed it must have been dissipated by tho kindness, hospitality, and good fellowship experienced in Auckland. Tho amendment was then put and carried by 14 to 11. , , Mr D. White, M.A. (Otago) then moved, and Mr Thompson (Napier) seconded, that the further consirJe.-atioa cf the motion should be postponed till to-day. Mr A. McArthur (Auckland) protested against such a course being pursued, as there would then be no finality to their business. . MrE. M. C. Harrison (Auckland) pointed out that the proposal for adjournment wouldbe equivalent toshelving the question, as the business for fcj-day v.'aa already determined. The proposal for adjournment was then put and negatived. Mr Fitzgerald (Otago) then moved, and Mr TuoMfsoN (Napier) seconded, "That the voting on Mr Bailey's proposition (now the substantive resolution) bo now taken."

This was agreed to, md the voting was then proceeded with, Mr McArthur having been appointed to act as sciutineer. The result was declared to be 14 ayes and 14 noes, classified as follows:—Auckland, 11 ayes and 7 noes; "Wanganui, 1 aye; Nelson, I aye ; North Canterbury, 1 aye and 1 no ; Wellington, 1 no ; Otago, 4 noes ; Hawke's Bay, 1 no. The CIiAH'MAN voted with the noes, thus shelving the question. Mr Thompson (Napier) gave notice of motion, " That history and geography bo class subjects in ail standards." The Institute then adjourned.

CANNIBALISM ON NEW GUINEA.

A French Convict Eaten by Natives,

Noumea, December 25. A skconu native revolt has only just been prevented by the prompt and active measures adopted by the Government. The drought was terrible, and the famishing cattle have devoured the natives' crops. It is said also that many of the settlers have deliberately broken down the fences and turned their cattle into the village gardens. The natives, rendered desperate by starvation (the cattle having eaten all their crops), thought they might as well appease their hunger by eating the owners of tho cattle. Tho natives, however, can do nothing without much consultation and a lot of dancing, a " pilou pilou." The Government got wind of the affair, and at once sent all the men-of-war, and large rein forcementsof troops to the threatened points. The affair had already begun. A tieket-of leave man named Debatche, and a black Woman, who lived with him, had been oaten, at a place named Ponerihouen, more than 100 miles from Noumea. Without having even waited for Government per mission, ho "jumped" some native land, and set lire to the little village on it. The in jured house-owners naturally took the law into their own hands, and ate tho aggressor. Home of the most powerful nativo tribes were going to havo a little private lighting among themselves ; but tho sudden appear anco of the troops has produced a forcible peace. Tho stato of cxeitement among tho tribes at the northern end of the island ia such that the Government dttro not yet endeavour to arrest tho murderers of Debatche, and tho troops are left in tho disturbed districts. The Go vernment has sent food to tho starving tribes, so that there ia no longer any danger to the outlying settlers, unless some idjot commits a violent act of oppros i sion on the natives similar to the action of ' Debatche.

Under the heading " Native Land Sharks in Despair," the Wellngton "Post" has the following :—" When certificates of title, or grants, are i.sued to natives for their lands, conditions are very frequently attached to prevent alienation withouttheconsent of the Governor-in-Council. Until lately this con sent was regarded a3 little more than a matter of form, provided the person apply ing for it was a friend of the Ministry's, Thousands and thousands of acres were thus allowed to pass out of tho hands of native owners into those of the favoured few, who knew they had only to getthesignatures of the owners in orderto procure the sanction of the Crown to those owners denuding themselves of their property. In fact, a few* gent'emen who knew the run of the ropes havß, within the last few years, made very nico little fortunes in this way, and were still doing a roaring trade in native lands when Mr Ballance took charge of the department. Since that event occurred, an entire change of policy has taken place. Mr Ballance has resolutely refused to re move the restrictions in any one "case. Hundreds of deeds, only awaiting an order in-Council to render them valid, have been presented to him, and the strongest pressure has been brought to bear to make him yield ; but he has re mained immovable, and refused to vali date even a single transaction. His con tention is that it is not desirable to denude the natives of their property, and that if the land is to be sold at all, then the public generally should have an opportunity of competing for its purchase in open market. He, therefore, declines to advise the Governor to validate trans actions secretly entered into and prac tically completed in defiance ol law by land-sharks and speculators who possess advantages which the general public do not possess. Of course, the whole tribe of land sharks and speculators is excessively angry, and on tho part of those who have been foolish enough to part with their money to the natives, relying on political or other in fluence to complete their title, there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mr Ballance, however, deserves the hearty thanks of the people of New Zealand for the firm and righteous stand which he _is taken in this matter."

To persons who wish to Bpend an enjoy able holiday season, and at the same time re store their energies wasted by a too close ap ication to business, or by cares of any kind, few places offer so many attractions as Te Aroha. The hot baths, which have already become famous for their wonderful medicinal pro perties, the pleasing scenery, the ease by which the place can be reached by rail, river, or road, and the exceedingly moderate cost of hotel and other accommodation, combine to render it a most pleasant spot in which to spend an idle week or two, and pleasure-seekers who de sire to pass their time quietly and enjoy ably cannot do better than visit this neigh bourhood, where health and pleasure may bo said to go hand in hand. The position of the Springs is almost in the centre of the township, situated at the base ot the grand and beautiful mountain, and they are within two or three minutes' walk of the principal hotels, the Hot Springs hostelry, kept by Mr VV. Weston, the British by Mr P. Quinlan. and Walker's ty Mr J. Warren, being not more than a stone throw distant. The fares for the s'ngle journey from and to Auckland (inclusive of Bradley and Ca.'s coaches between Morrinsvillo and Aroha) aro 27s first class, and 19s 6d second class. During the holidays return tickets will be issued by rail atsingle fares. Choap tickets are also issued by the Thames River Navigation Company, and for those who prefer travelling by water, this route has many charms, as during the spring and summer months the scenery on tho river banks is exceedingly lovely.and affords a never failing traat to admirers of tho beautiful in Vaturo.—(ADVT.l
