NOTES AND COMMENTS

Wk have received from a gentleman con nected with the Scripture Gift Association the following placard : — Cbildkkn t Be Truthful. Aoainbt Lying. Oh, 'tis a lovely thine fjr youth To walk bflliirej in wi?dom\t way ; TO fear A LIE, to Si-OaU inK TROTH, Tbiit we may trust to all thej say. But liaks we cm never trust, •■','■. Though they should speak the thing that's And be that tinea ONE in v t at livs'. Ana Hi's to hide It. makes it two. "Thou bast not lied unto men, but nnto God "- Sea Acts, chap. 6, vote 4. In an appended note the writer states that the placard has been " printed in the inte reeta of the school children now using the Globe Readers, in which lying is incul cated" G-') >o*v, this is very good so far, but will the writer also forward us the placard which the Association piint in the interests of the children who swallow the nauseating doets of goody-goody lies wbicn are poured out from the religious press ant} distributed by th;s very Association ? Or does he hold that because the stories are plausible lies, and the children tnay believe them to be true, they are less pernicious than fairy stories which the children understand perfectly, and are mere works of imagination ? It ia really very awful to think what dreadful characters the older generation must be who imbibed a» their infantile pop, the debasing traditions of "Jack theGiaDt Killer," "Jark and the Beanstalk," " Goody Two Shoes, lr " Little Ktd i iding Hood," and sundry other awful lie? 1 The consequences of this pernicious un bringing are even now apparent in thG hi < rtitr.rv'riiepoeibon of children to absorb the?e s oriee and of their parents to tell them to th(ir confiding and terribly deluded offspring The f cripture- Gift Association have a b:j> job on hand. '] hey .-hou'd strike a fow inoro ihuosands of those placards off, one for eveiy huu™ in Auck land at least, for what between ilie faiiy tales and Sunday-school libraries, tne prac tice of promulgating liea is pretty deeply rooted. We do not of course pretend to say that the Globe Readers are perfect fohool books by any means. On tha contrary, some of th o -u contain selociisns of the most mbbusby description". It is not because there are fairy tales in them as becauso those Felecicd are not the best from among tho beautiful stories of Huns Christian Anderton and other writers of this claes of literature There is 01-o, however a great amount of the best selections of English literature adapted for the juvenile understanding. The object of the editors of the books seems to have been to give variety oi matter and style, to cover a wide range of literature, and to excite tho curiosity of children, so that they will refer to tho bocks from which these extracts are taken. The selections from. Banyan's "Pilgrim's I'rogress" "Cook's Voyages," " Robinson Crusoe," &0., have ijoubrleas that object. We do not 'however, believe that, these uro the boat serios of school books procurable although the swooping attacks made upon them, on absurd grounds, ore not .justified. VVhat->*b object to, is tho coo s' ant charges tSS't are made in the school Ftries changes that have not been the result of ai.y consirJeiat:on, ot the merits of the books, but " worked " the interests of some publisher or other. Tha Board of Educatian have shown so much vacillation and incompetence in this matter that the question ought to be fettled in the interests of th< whole colony by a Com mission appointedinnaer.jli.he direciijn of -the Educational .Department for-the pat pose.
