The Review of Reviews. 



November l, 1906. 



A Country icjnooi and its Garden. 



proved that highly-trained men and women are a 

 necessity for carrying it out. Plainly, then, it is the 



duty of the Government to 

 provide for such a body by 

 holding out sufficient induce- 

 ment to lead men and women 

 of ability to enter and con- 

 tinue in the ranks of the 

 teachers. 



Much is being ~ done, but 

 pore remains - to be accom- 

 plished by those in power. 

 \Vhen men see that teachers 

 are more generously treated 

 they will not hesitate to join 

 one of the noblest 'and most 

 important of professions. The 

 Director of Education and 

 his co-workers will be able to 

 formulate schemes for the 

 national benefit ; the labours 

 of the teachers will be sweet- 

 ened by the hope of reward, 

 and they will be ready to 

 agree that in Victoria, at 

 least, Thomson's lines are 

 true : — • 



Delightful task to rear the tender thought 

 And teach the young idea how to shoot.''
