      HPHE teacher of to-day does not at all re-- - * ¦ - - semble semble Teufeldrockh leuteldrocklrs ' a schoolmaster schoolmaster . ' ' a a

      , downbent , broken-hearted , underfoot martyr , as others of that guild are . ' He is now a man

      of mark , strongly imbued with the courage of his own personal opinion , with faith in the

      puissance of professional unionism , and with passion for the economy of Method . Much

      has been changed in these days , and we cannot venture to surmise whether the eccentric

      philosopher whose words we have quoted would have to repeat the declaration that his

      teachers ' were hide-bound Pedants , without knowledge of man's nature or of boys ; or of

      aught save their lexicons and quarterly account books . '

      The moody acerbity shown in these words would , surelybe out of place in any

      descrition of present , -day pedagogy ; for are we not p aware how high the teacher ' s mission is ranked

      by its professors and by those who prosper with its prosperity 2 When their interests are

      assailed , teachers , as a body politic , may sometimes remind us of the fretful porcupinebut — /

      having had a hard tight for their A position X , , the , members now deserve to be supported in their

      defence and assisted in their advance . Especially is this the case with elementary teachers

      whose general character is referred to appre- , ciatively , if somewhat condescendingly , in the

      final report of the Royal Commission on Education , published the other day : ' As a

      whole the present body of teachers are a very honourable body , and have a great sense of

      their duties to the children in regard to the formation of their character and their moral

      guidance . ' We now see in educational literature the

      pronounced influence of the practical teacher , of the man or woman who - - - is - -- in dailcontact

      which they thought might fill a gap in the

      field of tuition . Failures , indeed , and signal failures , have been frequent through peculiar

      ' fads . ' But when one looks at the enormous host of books now at the disposal of the

      profession , it is" impossible to set aside a feeling of gratification that so much has been done

      to stimulate mental effort and to economise time and energy . All these efforts have come

      from the teachers themselves , for no book can now have prospects M . . 4 . of success unless the

      practical man is at the helm . There are no Oobbetts to write grammars nowad ays , and

      the pages of the present PublishersCircular show how largely educationin its literary

      , sense , is indebted to educationists themselves . I

      Mr. D'Eyncourt Showed Some Degree Of

      Mr . D'Eyncourt showed some degree of

      dubiousness when he confessed he should not be sorry to find he had no jurisdiction in the

      case started by the agent of Messrs . A . Braun j & Co ., of Paris , against Mr . A . E .

      Whitehouse , of the Hyde Park Gallery , who , at Westminster on the 9 th inst ., was charged

      with copies selling of the , and reg multi istered plying p for hotograp sale , ' hs pirated i La '

      , Songeuse , ' La Becque ' e , ' 'En Bacchus , ' and ' A Cythere / The case , which is now under

      adjournnment , is interesting in so far as it is the first dispute of the kind , we think , that

      has occurred since the signing of the Articles of the International Copyright Unionwhich

      -, clearly gives to foreigners in the British dominions the same rights as those possessed

      *— ' JL by ourselves . In arguing the case in the Police Court

      this fact seems to have been overlooked ; and before further proceedings are taken the

      parties interested should examine carefully the stipulations of the late convention ratified by

      the various signatory powers . Articles IV . and XII . seem to have a bearing on this

      especial case . We shall not in the meantime make further comment . We look forward with
