NOTES AND COMMENTS.

— ■ ■ ■ A>i article by " Colonus," published under ■ ' '" the heading " Classics versus Science," in ' Friday morning's "Herald," contains an imputation apon the College and Grammar School, and, in particular, upon the head master, which is by no means borno out by facts., "Colonus" says, referring to what ■ ■ passed at a recent meeting of tho Boaid of Governors, "We find the head-master of our intermediate seminary reeistiug tho detire to t.ko ti fow hours from tiie study of tho '■. ..; all-absorbing ancient tongues and. give them Iti , the-'study of science." Now, • ; "Ctlbnus" is, or -affects to be, ignorant that the question at the Board of Governors was not ac all botween science aoi classics, but between science, as now taught at the school, and such special sub jects as mineralogy and assaying, and that. the contention ot the head-master was that •;. -theeo[and similar subjects belong to the. •■".'. : workiof teohnical, not to that of secondary '., '■'■'■ . chools; that the number oi boys j to • they i .would, be either - ; interesting or ufefuV •is very-_■■:• lijn ! ited, and that, fot; the rest, not science in I general, but tlfeso particular subjects would jbe "njere drudgery.". The iaot is. that j _i\-—> ia subject as assaying, unless basec. > '' i upon a previous scientific training, is not io j itself; science at all, and bos nbne of t_e> < advantages of science as a mental discipline, j but is a matter of rule of thumb, . I »: "Cplonus," however, speaks as if natural ! science weru not recognised at our Grammar .' I ScUdoV Perhaps he will be surprieed to ihear that it possesses a laboratory for practical work in chemistify, and that this laboratory was provided by the Board of I Governors upon the urgent and repeated J representatwas of the present head-master ;, .? and perhaps he will be still more surprised to hear that the wbolecooversationattheßoard •of Governors arose out of some remarks upon •'■' I the fact, which had just been brought to its jnotice, that in the recent examination for 'Senior. University Scholarships a Grammar | School boy distanced all the other competi tors in the subject of fiatural science by a ; large proportion of the marks. The two . subjects taken by this boy were, we under- I stand, chemistry and electricity ; but these I are by no means the only branches of. t j i-ctence taught in Cue Grammar Schoo'. ■ Other branches ni physics, mechar_ics_ botany, aod physiology have each its turn -_'~■ ' and we are informed that evety torsi in the, ' school d.votes a considerable portion o_ j its time to natural science, except -tho, lowest two, in which i. ia replaced bjf i object lessons. , ■ .

OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM.

Tim Education Board has decided' t> send I the Minister their report on the syllabus, | together with replies to thtir circulars from I educationists in various parts of the colony. Dr. Brown said the whole colony was in debted to Dr McGregor for his efforts in the matter. Since last meeting of the Board a youug man in one of our Bchools had been ' done to death simply by these abominable. examinations. Our present system c£ i teaching by results was most senseless, and had at least tho ono merit of tending to thin the population, , Mr Frusur ex pressed his sense ot i the enthueiann • with which -..-McGregor had approached, the subject, and hoped- -bis _.___•* would bear fruit.
