Before Mr. Fisher made his recent proposal in regard' to
religious teaching in the schools, the Dean and Chapter of Worcester had circulated a set of Remarks on the Draft Scheme of
the City of Wow-der .Education: Department (Worcester : J. E. Phillips ; 2d.) which shows much practical wisdom. The Dean and Chapter emphasize the supreme importance of the teacher. A good teacher makes a good school ; a costly building in itself serves no educational purpose. The Dean and Chapter recom- mend the Worcester Education Authority to appointan Advisory Committee on religious teaching and _training. Most of the -Worcester schools are denominational. The Dean and Chapter express their readiness to help in forming the Advisory Committee, representing various, creeds, in the belief that it would " create such a unity of spirit and mutual understanding that the differ- ence between provided and unprovided schools would cease to offer any difficulty in administration."
