THE AUSTRALIAN  

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.  

No. 10.— JUNE, 1866.—V01. 11.  

STATE EDUCATION IN VICTORIA.  

UY HE Chief Secretary of Victoria has promised that Commission  

shall be appointed to inquire into the working of the Common  

Schools Act, 1862, of that Colony.  

It is urged that some such inquiry is necessary. If the correspon-  

dents of the daily papers are to be considered in the matter, the inquiry  

is most urgent, for it can be seen that—  

Assistants are complaining of the proportion of the result money  

retained by the head teachers.  

Head teachers are complaining of the delay in the receipt of this  

result money of the neglect of the inspectors of the incom-  

petency of the local committees of the indignity they suffer in  

having to make statutory declaration of the truth of their re-  

turns of their insecurity of tenure, and of their general inade-  

quate remuneration and they claim the right to be ranked among  

the civil servants of the colony.  

Parents complain of the inefficiency of schools. And  

Outsiders complain of everything.  

Such mass of complaints certainly require looking into but  

whether it will be found that the Board of Education is working under  

unworkable rules, or only half developing the power it possesses, is  

matter on which the greatest care must be taken before coming to  

decision, or we may pass from the bill of 1862, bad as it may be, to  

bill of 1867 of far worse character.  

Unquestionably there is general air of the Tite Barnacle flavour  

pervading all the actions of the Board. The circumlocution office is  

well represented at the late Model Schools. The amount of stationery  

and postage stamps wasted, absolutely wasted, would open at least
