Dr. :Bnrwash, who is a distinguished Professor in University College, Cobourg, and a member of the Cobourg Collegiate Institute Board. Prof. Burwash read the following report at a meeting P _ f said Board on the 2nd ult., callecl specially to consider the merits of the rival Readers. No one will question the Professor's ability to pass sound judgment on this tquestion, nor will any one dare to think even that any merce uy or other unworthy in:fl ucnce could b. brought to bear l\pon him to ias his 01Jlnion. He give~ reasons for his conclusions, and deals -with the .whole subject as only a master mind can. Such testimony, we say, is the strongest possible testimony, and should be a sufli-cient guarantee for trustees to act upon. Here is .Prof. Burwash's report :-IN J UDAING, OF TEXT-BOOKS . 1<'0.R SOHOOL:BEADEltS six POJNTS 1-Ll.Vlt TO DE CON' SIDERED. : - 1. TJ1e mastery of the mechanical part of reading, Le., such association of eye and ear as to form a habit which will instantly, and without conscious effort, call up the required vocal utterance as the eye catches he printed sign. Every other consideration must be subordinate to this till the child has passed the stage now indicated by the Third Reader. 2. The cultivation of expressive reading, i.e., attention to emphasis, inflection, and modulation, such as develops, through the reading, the sense and soul 'of the passage read. This may, we think, begin with the second, though still subordinate, but in the fourth and onwards shoulcl predominate. 3. The cultivation of a good l~terai·~. iaste, m1d the formation of a correct grammatical and rhet orical style. This requirement ra.nks in importance almost on a par v1:"th. No. 2; and is capable of perfeet harmony with it, and while it (in no part < if the course) should be neglected iu the fouxth form mi d upward, it should, concurrently with No. 2, receive sp_ efial attention. 4. General educational effect, i. e., adaptation to awaken and sti1 ulate the interest and fjeite· >·al intellect~ial acti.v·ty of the pupil. This is a very important se' contlary consideration throughout, inasmuch as a stupid course may in an incredibly short space of time reduce your pupil to the most.idiotic kind of singsong machine. the Second Book onward :111 intelligible system ef elocutionary training pervades the entire series, culminating in a very gof>d manual of instruction, with selected examples in the Sixth Book. On the third point we notice in both series occasiomil sentences v:hich are ~1ot models of the best Engli~h. But on the other han.d , the finest passages of purest Enalish are to be found in both, and in mo:t abundant profusion !in the Royal Readers. In fact, the too great abundance of best things is one of their faults. As to the fourth point, both series are delightfully 'fresh. Both the sub~ Jct matter aml the illustrations iire such as must delight our )·oung people and make their reading lessons a genuine pleasure. . On the fifth point, _although at first sight 1 o ne mi('fht be inclined to suspend judgment, ;et we Ltre disposed to prefer the Canadian llea.ders, because :-1st. They are not too crowded. The selections from our best literature are sufficiently extensive to.open up tlui field. We fear that that the magnificent profusion of the Royal Readers would produce 'fery much the effect of the view of a gre t city from a cathedral spire. A visit to a few or the principal places of greatest interest would really enable one to carry away more satis-· factory impressions. 2nd. The apparatus of the Canadiau, Series, iucluding more ample biographical and critical notes, is better. On the sixth point, both series excel. In vitriety the Royal Readers excel, but we must again accord the palm to the more select taste whic;h, omitting the writings of a vast number of authors whoso names will not be missed, is not afraid to acknowledge John Bunyan and the Old English Bible as classics in our literature. N. BURW.A.SH. Cobourg, Oct., 1883. In d;_ smissing this important question for the present we may state that our e::i:pericnce cf over ten years as a public school teacher should qualify us to give an intelligent opinion on the question of schoolreaders. Wehavegivenouropinion which is emphatica.Uy in favor of Gage's Canadian Readers, and we are pleased to note, in addition to the excellent report ·of Pr; f. Bttl'Wash, that every teacher's convei~tion in Onta-rio that has reported on the . two authorized series has concurred with our opinion and pronounced in favor of Gage's boob.
