[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPEOTATOR:]
"SIR,—Will you allow me to suggest to your correspondent '4‘ Minnie " that there is a great need of trained teachers, and that there are opportunities now provided for giving the requisite training to those who wish to fit themselves for this work ? The Home and Colonial Society, Gray's Inn Road, offer a course of training to ladies who wish to teach in private families or schools. A valuable course of lectures on "The Theory and Practice of Education" is now being given by Professor Payne, at the College -of Preceptors! Rooms, Queen's Square.
The High Schools for Girls belonging to the Girls' Public Day School Company also take student teachers, who have an oppor- tunity of studying the system of teaching in these schools. As 'the head mistress of the Chelsea High School, I should be happy -to give her any further information.—I am, Sir, &c.,
Durham House, Smith Street, Chelsea. M. E. PORTER.
