      ' *¦ . this » way publishers •»¦ have done yeoman ms service

      \ to the cause of national education . They are j the heaviest sufferers from changes of system .

      : By an insidious and half-hidden stroke of the official pensuccessful school-books , in whole

      , editions of thousands and tens of thousands , maybe suddenly hurled into hopeless oblivion .

      The Code of 1885 , however , will not call for any great sacrifice of property . It is substantially

      " » . - . A . A . v w the same as that which has been in operation during the past two years . Perhaps the only

      alterations that will affect publishers are the requirement that the history lessons above

      ^ pW V Standard IV . shall be progressive , and the introduction of linear drawing as a special

      subject . The latter is important , and the study will , no doubt , be very largely followed .

      In brief , the actual syllabus is as follows : —In Standards I . and II . children are to draw ,

      ' freehand and with the ruler , lines , angles , parallels , and the simplest right-lined forms ';

      using slates in the first and paper in the second standards ; in Standard III . the requirement

      is to draw freehand from the flat regular forms and curved figuresand with rulers simple

      , geometrical figures ; in Standard IV . the added requirements are freehand drawing

      from simple rectangular and circular models , drawing to scaleand geometrical figures with

      , instruments ; in Standard V . is added the drawing of easy common objects , plans and

      . elevations of plane figures and rectangular solids in simp le positions jb and simp le scales ;*

      these Standard V . exercises will be repeated in Standard VI ., and in Standard VII . the

      geometrical drawing is the same , with the addition of circular solids , and under freehand

      the requirement is to draw any common objW ects and casts of ornaments in lig fht and

      shade . A minute change occurs in Standard IV . where * gill' is deleted from the measures

      of capacity . 1 ¦ ¦ — . > v ^ __
