Fix this textSTATE EDUCATION IN VICTORIA.
Fix this textUY 1 HE Chief Secretary of Victoria has promised that a Commission
Fix this textJ shall be appointed to inquire into the working of the Common
Fix this textSchools Act, 1862, of that Colony.
Fix this textIt is urged that some such inquiry is necessary. If the correspon-

Fix this textbill of 1867 of a far worse character.
Fix this textUnquestionably there is a general air of the Tite Barnacle flavour
Fix this textpervading all the actions of the Board. The circumlocution office is
Fix this textwell represented at the late Model Schools. The amount of stationery
Fix this textand postage stamps wasted, absolutely wasted, would open at least a
