Mr. Tf. In Scotland there is no general rule
Mr. K. and Pro. ' & In Prussia and Baden, th d
mands are ample, and rigidly enforced.'
21. Governmental supervision of private schools?
Mr. IV. Of d6ubtful expediency.
Mr.f- K. Very strict in Prussia, and altogether beneficial
in its influence.
Prof." S. Leave the private schools free, but regulate
them; and seeyhat the teachers do their duty.

children v the rich and the poor the good and the bad; but
the Prussian governrffent discourages them, except for the vi
cious and the neglected. The King admits them only where
parental instruction cannot be had. V 1
Prof. S.. Highly useful, and very much increasing' in
Europe. In Italy, particularly in Lombardy, they are fast
gaining ground, under the care of truly Christian teachers.
10. The Pestalozzian system? .
Mr. W. It has many good things, with some quackery.
As a whole, it is too formal. '
Mr. In Prussia, hot approved as a whole; and in arith
metic entirely disused. . v
Prof. S, One of the steps by which we arrived at our pre
sent stage of advancement; but we have got beyond it now.
11. Number of pupils to one teacher in the different stages
of instruction?
Mr. AV. Inthe elemehtary stagif the t
tnonitoV hemay safely take charge of from 100 to 600 pu
pils; as they advance, he must diminish the number, but only
on account of the difficulty of obtaining good monitors in the
highcy branches. - i '
Mr. K., In Prussia, generally about 40 in the elementary
branehesyind mjilS -
; Prof. S. In Baden, the maximum is 80, on account or the
difficulty, in that populous district, of maintaining a sufficient
'number of school-masters for the whole population. As the
